When you order a Christmas feast online, it is easier to decide by three points: whether it arrives frozen or chilled, how much effort warming or thawing takes before you eat it, and how many people will eat. For a main dish, roast chicken and roast pork are the candidates; pizza is what you keep in the freezer and bake to eat; and for after the meal, cakes and stollen are the candidates. If you can’t decide, start with the 3 products below and pick the closest one. The candidates are chosen from the 13 single-product articles published on Ochinity, and the information on each product page is lined up on the same yardsticks.

If You Can’t Decide, Start with These 3
For one main dish for the family (roast chicken, chilled)

The text in the image is the shop’s own labeling.
A whole roast chicken made from a domestic young chicken. It was heated before freezing, and warming it in its bag in a pot of hot water (湯煎) is described.
Good to know: The best-before date is 14 days chilled from the shipping date. The seller states that delivery just before the day you plan to use it may be delayed by traffic congestion, and advises specifying a delivery date that arrives by the day before. It is listed as containing wheat, chicken and soybeans.
To keep in the freezer and enjoy on the day you bake it (pizza, frozen)

Good to know: It keeps about 1 month frozen, and you heat it to eat. The set’s page has no ingredient or allergen labeling and tells you to see each single item’s product page. The choices may be replaced depending on the season.
To gather around a whole cake after the meal (cake, frozen)
Frozen delivery16cm in diameterShop says 4–5 people
The text in the image is the shop’s own labeling.
One fruit tart, 16cm in diameter, with 5 candles included. The product page image states 10 kinds of fruit.
Good to know: The product page images give about 10–12 hours in the refrigerator as the thawing guideline. The best-before date is not written consistently (the product description says about 10 days from the delivery date, frozen; another image says about 1 month from the shipping date, frozen), so check the label on the item when it arrives. It contains egg, wheat, milk ingredients, orange, soybeans and almonds.
If the date is fixedChristmas reservation periods, order deadlines and the dates you can specify for delivery differ by shop and change. This article does not list any dates. Before ordering, check the display on each shop’s product page.

How to Choose Without Regrets
1. First check whether it arrives frozen or chilled
- Described as arriving by frozen delivery: 2 pizzas (カーサ・カキヤ, about 1 month; PIZZAREVO, about 1 month) and 4 cakes and tarts (京都ヴェネト, ラ・メゾン, RUNNY CHEESE, LeTAO).
- No delivery temperature range found: for storage, ボナセーラ is about 120 days in the freezer, 米久 is 300 days frozen from the manufacturing date, イベリコ屋 is 60 days or more frozen from the shipping date, and the stollen from オーセントホテル小樽 is kept refrigerated for about 20 days from the shipping date. Check the form in which it arrives on the product page.
- Described as arriving by chilled delivery: 近江牛の千成亭 (14 days chilled from the shipping date). 水郷のとりやさん ships chilled unless you specify otherwise, and its best-before date is 10 days chilled and 90 days frozen. Frozen delivery is specified in the remarks field when you order.
- Descriptions conflict: for サンライズファーム, delivery is described as chilled delivery, while the main text says it arrives chilled and the storage method in the product specification field says frozen. Check before ordering.
Best-before information ranges from about 10 to 300 days for frozen products and from 10 to about 20 days for chilled ones. However, the starting date of the count differs by product (shipping date, dispatch date, delivery date, manufacture date), so do not compare by the numbers alone.Source: the “Storage” and “Best-before date” rows of each single-product article
2. Check the effort of warming or thawing before you eat
For roast chicken, 近江牛の千成亭 is warmed in its bag in a pot of hot water (湯煎) (about 10 minutes per the product page image; in a microwave if it is not warm enough), 水郷のとりやさん is a vacuum pack warmed in boiling water for 5 minutes, and サンライズファーム is described as about 15–20 minutes in a steamer or in a microwave. For pizza, ボナセーラ describes 4 ways after thawing (toaster oven, oven grill, frying pan and fish grill (魚焼きグリル)), PIZZAREVO is described as heated to eat, and for カーサ・カキヤ no baking instructions are found on the product page.
Cakes and roast pork take time to thaw. The guideline for thawing in the refrigerator is 10–12 hours for ラ・メゾン, about 9 hours for RUNNY CHEESE, 5–8 hours for LeTAO and about 24 hours for 米久. For イベリコ屋, the thawing procedure has not been confirmed. For items thawed in the refrigerator, count back from the time you plan to eat, using the guideline hours above, to decide when to move them into the refrigerator.Source: the “How to eat” and “Thawing” rows of each single-product article
3. Look at how many people will eat, by the shop’s guideline
Those with a guideline on the number of people are ラ・メゾン (about 4 to 5 people), 京都ヴェネト (for 2–4 people) and LeTAO (2-person to 4-person sizes in the product name). The whole chicken from 近江牛の千成亭 has no number of people stated, and is one bird of 1.8kg or more before roasting. For サンライズファーム, the wording differs between the shop’s pages: the product specification field says 4 people, and the guide image says “3人家族でちょうどよい量” (just the right amount for a family of 3). For products with no number of people stated, think about how many people will eat by weight (イベリコ屋 is 560g in total, 米久 is about 360g, and RUNNY CHEESE is 600g).Source: the “Amount” row of each single-product article
4. Check dates and delivery on the shop’s own display
The Christmas reservation period, the order deadline and the dates you can specify for delivery differ by shop and change over time. This article does not give any dates. 近江牛の千成亭 advises specifying a delivery date that arrives by the day before, because delivery just before the day you plan to use it may be delayed. The product page of ボナセーラ has a notice that delivery takes some days. The stollen from オーセントホテル小樽 cannot be bundled with other products. Allergen labeling is not included in this article’s table. After reading each single-product article, ask the seller before buying, or be sure to check the label on the item when it arrives.
FAQ
- How many days can I keep it frozen?
- It depends on the product. カーサ・カキヤ is about 1 month, PIZZAREVO is about 1 month, ボナセーラ is about 120 days, RUNNY CHEESE is 60 days, and the frozen delivery of 水郷のとりやさん is 90 days. LeTAO states that it delivers items with a best-before date at least 10 days away. Because the starting dates differ, check the label on the item when it arrives.
- How many hours before should I start thawing?
- The guideline for thawing in the refrigerator is 5–8 hours for LeTAO, about 9 hours for RUNNY CHEESE, 10–12 hours for ラ・メゾン and about 24 hours for 米久. For ボナセーラ, the shop describes letting it thaw naturally at room temperature (about 2–3 hours, varying by season) as its first-choice method.
- Will it arrive on Christmas Day?
- This article cannot say for certain. Whether you can specify a delivery date, and the possibility of delays from congestion, differ by shop, so check each shop’s product page before ordering. 近江牛の千成亭 advises specifying a delivery date that arrives by the day before the day you will use it.
- Can I eat the roast chicken without warming it?
- サンライズファーム is smoked and described as ready to eat as is. For 近江牛の千成亭 and 水郷のとりやさん, the product pages describe how to warm them.
