Rating breakdown: 5 stars 131 / 4 stars 37 / 3 stars 3 / 2 stars 2 / 1 star 0 (as shown on Rakuten Ichiba; viewed November 5, 2026)
What we read: the first 60 reviews in Rakuten’s default order (posted August 2024 to October 2026; latest October 2026), plus all 2 two-star reviews (posted December 2022 to February 2026) and all 3 three-star reviews (April 2023 to October 2026), 65 in total. There were no one-star reviews. These are trends within what we read and may not reflect the product’s current condition.
There are only 5 reviews at 1 to 3 stars combined, so the counts alone do not show how strong a trend is. The counts below are approximate figures counted by reading the text. They do not include posts that only concern delivery or shop service.
What Reviewers Praise
Garlic and spice seasoning (about 12 of the first 60)
About 12 of the 60 reviews in the default order said the garlic comes through or that the spice level is just right. Some described it as going well with beer or white rice.
Easy to cook, and it tastes like the shop when made as directed (about 10)
About 10 of the 60 reviews in the default order said the cooking instructions are easy to follow, and that searing it in a frying pan with the included chicken fat after the microwave makes the skin crisp. They wrote that they followed the store’s steps (the reviewers’ own accounts).
Tender meat and generous size (about 7)
About 7 of the 60 reviews in the default order said the meat is tender or filling. One post said two people shared a single piece.
Used as a gift (about 8)
About 8 of the 60 reviews in the default order said they sent it for a birthday, year-end gift (oseibo), Christmas, a sick-visit gift and the like. These continue with accounts that the recipients were pleased.

What Reviewers Note
Not much chicken fat (3)
3 reviews in total (2 of the first 60 in the default order and 1 of the three-star reviews) said two portions of chicken fat for five pieces is little, or that the amount is not enough to use for the frying pan.
How to check: the number of chicken fat portions and the serving instructions are summarized under “Amount” and “Condition / How to eat” in this article’s “Basic Information.”
Salty or garlicky side (3)
3 of the 60 reviews in the default order said it is salty or that the garlic seasoning is a little strong. All 3 were favorable about the taste itself, saying it goes well as a snack with drinks or that the aroma whets the appetite. On the other hand, 1 three-star review said the spiciness and garlic were mild and the taste felt lighter than when eaten on site.
Uneven size, or smaller than before (2)
2 reviews in total (1 of the 60 in the default order and 1 of the three-star reviews) said the five pieces differed in size or that the meat is smaller than before.
How to check: the amount per piece is given under “Amount” in this article’s “Basic Information” as stated on the product page (about 220 g).
