This is a single 160g pouch of haskap jam sold by Tokachi Berry Farm (ハスカップ農園十勝ベリーファーム) in Obihiro City, Hokkaido, made from Hokkaido-grown haskap (ハスカップ, a blue honeysuckle berry) and beet sugar (甜菜糖).

On this product page, we could not confirm whether noshi (gift wrapping label), wrapping or message cards are available. We also found no statement about the types of noshi inscription or a decorative gift box. The product description says the jam is also used as a small gift for acquaintances or for osusowake (sharing some with neighbors), and explains that a separate gift-specification product is available for gift-giving. The product in this article is not the gift-specification product.
