ニシキヤキッチン’s soup gift set of 8 pouches (スープ8食ギフト) is a gift box holding 8 pouches of 7 kinds of retort-pouch soup that can be stored at room temperature (ambient). It contains 2 pouches of corn potage (コーンポタージュ) and 1 pouch each of domestic tomato cream chowder (国産トマトクリームチャウダー), Hokkaido pumpkin chowder (北海道産かぼちゃのチャウダー), Hokkaido sweet corn chowder (北海道産スイートコーンのチャウダー), pork belly and daikon ginger soup (豚バラ大根の生姜スープ), minestrone (ミネストローネ) and clam chowder (クラムチャウダー). The product page says the soups are made at the company’s own factory in Miyagi without seasoning (amino acids, etc.), coloring or flavoring (it also notes that umami ingredients classified as foods, such as yeast extract, are used). This article organizes what the Rakuten Ichiba product page, Rakuten reviews, and the product pages for each soup on the manufacturer’s official online store say into five points: content volume, shelf life, ingredient labeling, suitability as a gift, and reviews.
*The Amazon link goes to an item from the same store (seller: 公式NISHIKIYA KITCHEN), but some details, such as the amount, are listed differently from Rakuten Ichiba (on the Amazon product page, the pork belly and daikon ginger soup is listed as 180g and the best-before date as at least 45 days remaining at delivery; on Rakuten Ichiba, 170g and at least 3 months remaining at delivery; viewed October 13, 2026). The amount and contents in this article are based on the Rakuten Ichiba item. Please check the details on the Amazon product page before purchasing.

Ingredients and Allergen Labeling
Within what we could check in the description field and description images on the Rakuten Ichiba product page, we found no combined labeling of ingredient names and allergens for the set as a whole. The set’s ingredient and allergen labeling is Not confirmed.
For reference, on the manufacturer’s official online store, the product pages for each soup with the same name and the same amount (pages for the soups sold individually) state the following in each soup’s “本品に含まれるアレルゲン” (allergens contained in this product) field. We have not been able to confirm that the soups in the set carry the same labeling as the individually sold products.
| Soup | Allergens stated on the single-item page of the official online store |
|---|---|
| Corn potage (コーンポタージュ) 160g | milk, chicken |
| Domestic tomato cream chowder (国産トマトクリームチャウダー) 180g | milk, wheat |
| Hokkaido pumpkin chowder (北海道産かぼちゃのチャウダー) 180g | milk, chicken |
| Hokkaido sweet corn chowder (北海道産スイートコーンのチャウダー) 180g | milk, wheat, chicken |
| Pork belly and daikon ginger soup (豚バラ大根の生姜スープ) 170g | wheat, sesame, soybeans, chicken, pork |
| Minestrone (ミネストローネ) 180g | milk, soybeans, chicken |
| Clam chowder (クラムチャウダー) 180g | milk, wheat, soybeans, chicken |
Source: product pages for each soup on the NISHIKIYA KITCHEN official online store (viewed October 13, 2026)
Combined across the 7 kinds, these are milk, wheat, sesame, soybeans, chicken and pork (this is our own tally, not labeling for the set). The single-item page for the clam chowder states that the ocean clams (オーシャンクラム) used as an ingredient are harvested by a fishing method in which shrimp and crab get mixed in. In the nutrition facts on the single-item pages of the official online store, the salt equivalent is stated as 0.8 to 1.7g per pouch (varies by soup).
The notes about the manufacturing factory do not match between sources. The single-item pages on the official online store state that the factory produces products containing shrimp, cashew nuts, crab, wheat, egg, milk and peanuts, while the Amazon.co.jp product page with the same name states that it makes products containing egg, milk, wheat, shrimp, crab and peanuts (they differ in whether cashew nuts are included). We have not been able to confirm which is the current labeling.
If you have an allergy, please contact the seller to confirm before buying, and be sure to check the label on the product when it arrives.
