At a Glance
Key points
- One plate of about 100g sashimi and about 80g skin. The sashimi amount is the same as the 得々 Fugu Hot Pot and Sashimi Set, 4–5 Servings from the same shop (sashimi about 100g + fugu hot pot about 920g + 1 bonus item); the difference is whether hot pot ingredients are included
- The labeled shelf life is 90 days from manufacture (frozen storage) and 2 days after thawing (chilled storage). This is as stated on the product page
- Noshi is supported. Rakuten’s display says noshi is supported, and the product’s guide image mentions an outer-wrapping noshi (soto-noshi) sticker
- Rakuten rating: 4.54 (2,736 reviews). Viewed October 26, 2026. The review count is the highest among the 10 hot pot sets featured on Ochinity (as of October 26, 2026); the rating figure is lower than those of the products rated 4.8 and 4.72
Where it stands out in comparison: Among the 10 hot pot sets featured on Ochinity (as of October 26, 2026), this is the only product that is sashimi and skin only, with no hot pot ingredients.
Watch out for
- The serving count is worded two ways: the product name says 4 servings, while the guide in the guide image is 3–4 servings
- This is a frozen product that is thawed before eating, and we found no statement on the product page about whether it can be eaten raw. The page presents it as eaten with the ponzu sauce and akaoroshi
Suits: Someone who prepares the hot pot separately and wants only fugu sashimi and skin, frozen. Someone who wants to send it with noshi

Summary: Is This the One for You?
Why choose it: You do not need hot pot ingredients and want only fugu sashimi and skin, and you want a product that can be sent with noshi. If those two are your conditions, then among the 10 hot pot sets featured on Ochinity (as of October 26, 2026), this is the only one without hot pot ingredients, and noshi support is shown on Rakuten (weak point: the serving count is worded two ways, 4 servings and 3–4 servings).
- The labeled shelf life is 90 days from manufacture (frozen storage) and 2 days after thawing (chilled storage). You thaw it to match the day you plan to eat it
- The Rakuten rating is 4.54 / 5 (2,736 reviews). Among what we read, many voices were about taste and gifts, and most of the complaints about amount and wateriness at 1★ and 2★ were from posts made in 2024 or earlier
Other options: If you also want a hot pot, there is the 得々 Fugu Hot Pot and Sashimi Set, 4–5 Servings from the same shop (sashimi about 100g + fugu hot pot about 920g + 1 bonus item; Rakuten rating 4.49, 3,299 reviews, as of October 18, 2026).
