Suitable as a Gift?
We could not confirm on the product page whether noshi (gift wrapping label), gift wrapping, or message cards are supported. The related keywords include many terms such as “gift,” ochugen (mid-year gift), and oseibo (year-end gift), but these are registered as search terms and are not a statement guaranteeing support for noshi or gift wrapping. If you’re considering this as a gift, checking the following with the shop before buying can help avoid any mix-up:
- Whether noshi, gift wrapping, and message cards are supported (not stated on the product page)
- Whether it arrives by chilled or frozen delivery, and whether you can specify a date/time the recipient can receive it
- That vegetables are not included, so the recipient will need to prepare them separately
