This is a 6-serving set of “Kinsen” (琴線) Gold Label, a semi-fresh (半生, hannama) Sanuki udon sold by こんぴらや販売株式会社 of Manno Town, Kagawa Prefecture. It contains 6 bags of 120g udon and 6 packets of 20ml tsuyu (noodle sauce). The ingredient field of the product description does not state where the wheat flour comes from, but images on the product page show a domestic-wheat label and a “100% Hokkaido wheat” label. Based on the Rakuten Ichiba product page and reviews, we organized five points: quantity, shelf life, ingredient labeling, suitability as a gift, and reviews. The features confirmed on the product page are three: a best-before period of about 90 days at ambient temperature, individually portioned bags, and support for noshi (gift wrapping label) and gift wrapping.
