Ingredients and Allergen Labeling
The product description on the product page lists milk ingredients, wheat, egg, and soybeans in its allergen labeling. It also states that the factory also makes products that use walnuts, and that some products use liquor (洋酒) for flavoring. The ingredients of each flavor are shown on the shop’s ingredients page, which the product description refers to (viewed October 13, 2026).
- ショーコラ マイルドカカオ: chocolate (made in Belgium or made in Japan), wheat flour, sugar, cream, butter, cocoa mass, cocoa butter, invert sugar, cocoa powder, egg, liquor (洋酒), edible fats and oils / emulsifier, flavoring, (contains wheat, egg, milk ingredients, and soybeans as part of the ingredients)
- ショーコラ リッチミルク: sugar (made in Japan), wheat flour, butter, cocoa mass, cocoa butter, cream, whole milk powder, invert sugar, cocoa powder, egg, edible fats and oils / emulsifier, (contains wheat, egg, milk ingredients, and soybeans as part of the ingredients)
- パリトロ スイート: sugar (made in Japan), chocolate, cocoa mass, cream, egg white, cocoa butter, sweetened egg yolk, butter, cocoa powder, invert sugar, wheat flour, liquor (洋酒), starch syrup, edible fats and oils, vanilla paste / emulsifier, flavoring, (contains wheat, egg, milk ingredients, and soybeans as part of the ingredients)
According to the ingredients page, liquor is included in the ingredient lists of マイルドカカオ and パリトロ スイート. The same ingredients page also shows the labeling of パリトロ シルキー (silky), which does not use liquor. Because the name of this product does not include the word シルキー, we show the labeling of パリトロ スイート above, but the product page does not state which of the two labelings corresponds to this product. If children, people who are sensitive to alcohol, or people avoiding alcohol will eat it, check the label on the product when it arrives to see whether liquor is included.
If you have allergies, ask the shop before buying, or be sure to check the label on the product when it arrives.

Suitable as a Gift?
In the order section and product description of the product page, we confirmed the following gift-related options (Source: Rakuten Ichiba product page, viewed October 13, 2026).
- Noshi: provided as outer noshi (placed over the wrapping). The inscription can be chosen from options such as 無地のし (plain noshi), 内祝 (uchi-iwai, return gift), 出産内祝 (return gift for a birth), お誕生日御祝 (birthday), 御礼 (thanks), and 御挨拶 (greetings) (蝶結び, bow knot); 寿 (congratulations) and 内祝 (結び切り, fixed knot, for weddings); 快気祝 (recovery from illness) and 御見舞 (get-well) (結び切り, fixed knot); 志 and 御供 (memorial offerings; yellow-and-white or black-and-white); and 御年賀 (New Year), 御中元 (ochugen, mid-year gift), 暑中御見舞 (summer greeting), 残暑御見舞 (late-summer greeting), 祝敬老の日 (Respect for the Aged Day), and 御歳暮 (oseibo, year-end gift) (蝶結び, bow knot). To add a name, the page says to select the name option and write the sender’s name in the remarks field. Instead of noshi, you can also choose a thank-you or celebration sticker
- Wrapping: the page states that it arrives with each confection individually wrapped, in an individual box, in a gift box, and wrapped in wrapping paper. The wrapping paper design is chosen in the order section
- Shopping bag: the page says that if you select the bag option in the order section, 1 small shopping bag is included per set
- Packing slip: the page says that a packing slip showing the amount is not included
- Message card: not stated on the product page; we could not confirm this
- Shelf life: the best-before date is about 10 days from the shipping date. If there are several days before the day you give it, deciding the delivery date before ordering makes a mismatch less likely
- Delivery destinations: the page says it cannot be delivered to Okinawa or remote islands
These are trends within the 120 reviews we read and may not reflect the product’s current condition, but many posts said they used it as a gift, such as a return gift for Valentine’s Day, uchi-iwai (return gift), or a birthday gift, and that the recipient was pleased. On the other hand, some posts said there were few days left before the best-before date when it arrived (Source: Rakuten customer reviews, viewed October 13, 2026).
