Ingredients and Allergen Labeling

The ingredient field on the product page lists the ingredients of the ichimi, shichimi and chili oil separately (see the Ingredients row of the Basic Information above). However, we found no separate display of the items that count as specified ingredients. Allergen labeling is not confirmed. Note that the ingredient names list sesame in the shichimi and soybean oil in the chili oil.

If you have an allergy, ask the shop before buying or be sure to check the label on the product when it arrives.

Suitable as a Gift?

The product page states that the shop does not accept gift wrapping or boxing. The details field also notes that there is no box. We could not find any mention of noshi (gift wrapping label) support or message cards. For this reason, if you want to give it as a gift, you need to assume you will arrange the wrapping yourself.

  • This item is described as available for online orders only
  • The shipping temperature and the estimated dispatch time are not confirmed
  • The best-before date is described as about 160 days for the ichimi and shichimi and about 250 days for the chili oil

Of the 57 reviews we read in the default order, about 12 said they had bought it as a gift or souvenir. On the other hand, there are also reviews saying that the writer put a noshi request in the request field but it was not attached, and that it did not come in a box so they wrapped it themselves (Source: Rakuten customer reviews, viewed October 14, 2026).
