This is a thank-you gift under the furusato nozei (hometown tax donation program). Komaki City (Aichi Prefecture) is the local government that receives the donation for this gift. The listing states that the provider is 株式会社 千賀屋, and that the steps carried out within Komaki City run from sourcing the ingredients through arranging them in the box, chilled handling at shipping, and packing. The raw-material origin is not confirmed. The item covered here, “千賀屋のおもいやり,” is a chilled osechi (traditional Japanese New Year’s food) with 38 dishes arranged in a 6.5-sun three-tier box, serving 3. The “2027” in the product name refers to the coming new year, and delivery is on either December 30 or 31, 2026. The application deadline is stated as around December 20 (limited quantity). We organized what the Rakuten listing states into five points: contents, shelf life, ingredient labeling, suitability as a gift, and reviews. The features we could confirm on the listing are three: it is delivered chilled, it is a three-tier box of 38 dishes serving 3, and a dish-list card (お品書き), a furoshiki (a traditional Japanese wrapping cloth) and New Year’s chopsticks (iwaibashi) are included.

What Public Reviews Say
We organized the product reviews on Rakuten Ichiba by viewpoint. The rating figures are as of the viewing date and change afterward. What follows is the trend within what we read and does not necessarily represent the product’s current condition.
| Site | Rating | Reviews | Viewed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rakuten customer reviews (product page) | 4.71 / 5 | 1,249 | November 5, 2026 |
Rating breakdown: ★5 945 / ★4 255 / ★3 38 / ★2 9 / ★1 2 (Rakuten Ichiba display; viewed November 5, 2026)
Range read: the first 60 reviews in the default order (posted December 2025 to September 2026; latest September 2026; 51 of them were posted in January 2026), all 2 of the ★1 reviews (posted January 2021 and January 2022), and 8 of the 9 applicable ★2 reviews (posted January 2021 to January 2026), 70 in total. We did not read the ★3 reviews individually. These are trends within what we read and may not reflect the product’s current condition.
Of the 60 reviews in the default order, 51 were posted in January 2026 and mostly concern orders for the 2026 New Year. The listing covered here is for the 2027 New Year, and it says the dish list may change depending on sourcing and other circumstances, so the contents are not necessarily the same. The counts below are approximate figures counted by reading the text, and do not include posts that are only about delivery or the store’s handling.
What Reviewers Praise
Arrives chilled, no thawing needed (about 12 of 60)
About 12 of the 60 reviews in the default order said that because it arrives chilled rather than frozen, there is no thawing to deal with. Some also wrote that at year-end, when the freezer is full of food, it can go into the refrigerator.
Amount for 3 / family-sized amount (about 16)
About 16 of the 60 standard reviews touched on the amount, for example that it is just right for a family of 3 or that the quantity is substantial. The number of people and the number of days it takes to finish it differ by poster, and may not match the 3 servings stated on the listing.
Colors and appearance (about 20)
About 20 of the 60 standard reviews said the colors were good, it looked gorgeous, or the arrangement was beautiful. Many wrote that it made the New Year table look festive.
Repeat applications (about 29)
About 29 of the 60 standard reviews said they order every year, have applied for several years in a row, or want to order again next year.

What Reviewers Note
Flavor felt strong or sweet (3 of the standard 60, both of the 2 ★1 reviews, and 6 of the 8 ★2 reviews read)
3 of the 60 reviews in the default order, both of the 2 ★1 reviews and 6 of the 8 ★2 reviews we read said the seasoning felt strong or sweet. The 2 ★1 reviews and 5 of the 6 ★2 reviews were posted between 2021 and 2023, a different year from this 2027 version. On the other hand, the 60 standard reviews also include posts that found it mild or wrote that it was not too strong, so impressions of the taste are divided by post.
Shipped early, with concern about storage until arrival (1)
One ★2 post said that it was specified for delivery on December 31, but it was shipped on December 28 and held at a delivery center (posted January 2026). This is the poster’s account, and the shipping date is not stated on the listing.

There is also a regular product of 千賀屋’s “おもいやり” that is not part of furusato nozei, covered in a separate article (千賀屋謹製 Osechi “おもいやり”). The place to apply, the application deadline and the delivery dates differ, so it is not necessarily the same product.
The basis for this section is the Rakuten Furusato Nozei listing and Rakuten customer reviews (viewed November 5, 2026). The review trends are within what we read and may not reflect the product’s current condition.
The page of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications explains that the deduction is applied to the income tax of the year in which furusato nozei is made and to the resident tax of the following fiscal year (source: Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, “How Furusato Nozei Works: About Tax Deductions”, accessed November 5, 2026). The deduction amount and procedures differ from person to person, so please check with the Ministry, your local government, or the tax office.
