The “Maizuru” in the product name is the name of a series in Hakata Hisamatsu’s osechi lineup, not a reference to Maizuru City in Kyoto Prefecture. The “Hakata” in the shop name “Hakata Hisamatsu” is likewise part of the shop’s name, and the origin of the ingredients varies by dish (for example, the herring roe is from the United States and the shrimp from Thailand). This osechi (traditional Japanese New Year’s food) arrives frozen and is said to be ready to eat once thawed, but it’s easy to order without knowing how many people it serves or how long it keeps. In this article, we’ve organized what Hakata Hisamatsu publishes on its official site about its Japanese-Western fusion three-tier osechi box “Maizuru,” into five points: contents, storage method, ingredient labeling, gift suitability, and reviews.
What We Confirmed
- Contents and how many people it serves
- Storage method and best-before date

Ingredients and Allergen Labeling
“Maizuru” is made up of 37 dishes in total, and Hakata Hisamatsu’s official site publishes a table listing the dish name, allergens, country of origin, main ingredients, and additives for each item. The specified allergens vary by dish; across all 37 dishes, items may contain wheat, egg, dairy, shrimp, squid, soy, beef, pork, chicken, apple, sesame, walnut, or mackerelSource: Hakata Hisamatsu official site “Ingredients and Allergen Table” (accessed September 21, 2026).
The official site’s purchase guide notes that ingredients used in seasonings (soy sauce, mirin, sake, and so on) may also contain allergens or additives, and that trace amounts of allergens may be introduced during processing due to shared production lines; it advises that those with allergies should decide whether to eat the product based on their own constitution and conditionSource: Hakata Hisamatsu official site purchase guide (accessed September 21, 2026). Because osechi dishes use many different ingredients, if someone with a food allergy plans to eat this product, please contact the seller before purchase or check the food information label on the product when it arrives.

Suitable as a Gift?
Regarding noshi (gift wrapping label), the official site’s purchase guide states that osechi products cannot be sent with noshi, and that this is explicitly not availableSource: Hakata Hisamatsu official site purchase guide (accessed September 21, 2026). Whether a gift box or simple gift box is used, and message card support, are not stated on either the product page or the purchase guide and are not confirmed. If you’re considering this as a gift, checking the following before purchase can help avoid misunderstandings.
- Noshi is not available (explicitly stated on the official site)
- Gift box or simple packaging, and message card support, are not confirmed
- Since the delivery date must be chosen from December 28, 29, 30, or 31, it’s a good idea to confirm in advance whether the recipient can receive it on one of those dates
- Combined shipping with other items is not available, so it cannot be sent together with other products
