The 京都祇園ボロニヤ 元祖デニッシュ食パン 選べる1斤スライス3個セット (Ganso Danish Bread, choose-your-own set of three sliced 1-kin loaves), made by 京栄食品株式会社 in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City, and sold by 京都祇園ボロニヤ, is a trial set of Danish bread (the plain flavor’s ingredient label states that the wheat flour is made in Japan). Each 1-kin loaf (kin is the unit used in Japan for loaves of bread) is cut into 5 slices, and three loaves are combined in one delivery. The first loaf is always plain, and for the second and third loaves you choose one of two flavors each. Before choosing, there are points worth checking, such as the best-before date of 7 days including the day of manufacture and the fact that noshi (gift wrapping label) and wrapping are not available. In this article, we organized what the product page and Rakuten customer reviews (“Minna no Review”) say into five points: quantity, shelf life, ingredient labeling, suitability as a gift, and reviews.

Ingredients and Allergen Labeling
The allergen field in the product specifications lists 4 items: wheat, egg, dairy, and soybeans (小麦・卵・乳成分・大豆). The ingredients of the plain flavor are listed as: wheat flour (made in Japan), fat spread, sugar, margarine, egg, sugars (oligosaccharides, glucose), salt, baker’s yeast, edible vegetable oil, powdered milk, starch, wheat protein / sorbitol, emulsifier, flavoring, phosphate (Na), coloring (carotene, annatto), antioxidant (V.E), thickening polysaccharides, pH adjuster, vitamin C, (contains wheat, egg, dairy, and soybeans in part) (Source: product description and specifications on the Rakuten Ichiba product page, viewed October 13, 2026).
This product page says that, for flavors other than plain, the ingredients should be checked on each product page. The same shop’s 元祖デニッシュ食パン 3斤 product page states that raisin adds raisins to the plain ingredients; 苺三色 adds matcha, strawberry juice powder, coloring (gardenia, beni-koji (red yeast rice), carotene, annatto), and other ingredients; chocolate adds chocolate spread, sweetener (sucralose), and other ingredients; and black tea adds a black tea filling made with tea leaves and other ingredients. For all four flavors, the allergens are wheat, egg, dairy, and soybeans. The black tea ingredients are written differently on the same shop’s product page for black tea sold on its own (Source: the same shop’s 元祖デニッシュ食パン 3斤 product page and its black tea single-item product page, viewed October 13, 2026).
If you have allergies, be sure to ask the shop before buying or check the label on the product when it arrives.

Among the 3 Danish bread sets featured in Ochinity’s “Bread” category (as of October 13, 2026), this product differs from the other 2 in quantity and shelf life. This product is 1 kin × 3 loaves (pre-cut into 5 slices), with a best-before date of 7 days including the day of manufacture. ANDE Danish Bread: Plain 1.5-Kin Size and 1-Kin Size, 2-Loaf Set with 6 Flavors to Choose From is two loaves, a 1.5-kin size and a 1-kin size (total weight 1,050g), with a best-before date of 20 days unopened, including the day of manufacture. メイズテーブル Danish Shokupan Choose-Your-Own 4-Loaf Set is 1.5 kin × 4 loaves (approx. 600g each), and its date statements conflict, ranging from 6 to 9 days including the day of manufacture depending on where it is stated (as stated in each article, as of each article’s information date).
Suitable as a Gift?
The Rakuten Ichiba product description says that wrapping and noshi are not available for this set, and that if you want a gift box, you should purchase one. The gift box is a separately sold, paid item linked from the product page. The page setting (internal data) also shows noshi as not supported. We could not find anything indicating support for noshi inscriptions, message cards, or name printing (Source: Rakuten Ichiba product page, viewed October 13, 2026).
- Noshi and wrapping: stated as not available for this set (we could not verify the types of inscription)
- Gift box: offered as a separately sold, paid item
- Message card, name printing: we could not verify these
According to the page settings on the Rakuten Ichiba product page, this product is eligible for social gift (ソーシャルギフト), and the Yahoo! Shopping product page shows that you need to log in to send it as a gift (Source: Rakuten Ichiba and Yahoo! Shopping product pages, viewed October 13, 2026). The same shop also sells a separate product described as coming in a gift box (定番人気3種スライスセット《化粧箱入り》), but we have not checked whether its contents are the same as this set.
Among the Rakuten reviews we read, 12 of the 60 in the default order said they gave it to their parents or acquaintances or brought it as a gift when visiting (3 of them posted in the last two years) (Source: Rakuten customer reviews, viewed October 13, 2026).
