Ingredients and Allergen Labeling

Five Things to Check Before Buying
| Item to check | For this product | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Contents / serving size | Choose from 3kg / 5kg / 10kg (each +200g for minor spoilage). A serving size guide is not confirmed | Product description on the product page. No serving size is stated |
| 2. Storage method and shelf life | The product page only advises storing it somewhere cool and eating it promptly. Specific storage temperature and best-before date are not confirmed | Product description on the product page |
| 3. The reason for the “wakeari” listing | The Rakuten product page gives no explanation of the reason (only the words “wakeari” and “irregular” appear in the product name), while the same shop’s (Takehiko Orange Farm) 5kg and 10kg listings on Yahoo! Shopping explain that the reason is things such as surface blemishes and inconsistent sizing | Rakuten Ichiba product page; the same shop’s (Takehiko Orange Farm) 5kg and 10kg product pages on Yahoo! Shopping (viewed September 26, 2026) |
| 4. Suitable as a gift? | Whether noshi (gift wrapping label), gift wrapping, or message cards are supported is not confirmed | Not stated in the gift section of the product page |
| 5. Review trends | The Rakuten rating is 4.5 out of 5 (10,881 reviews). We read 30 reviews sorted by “most helpful” (posting dates ranging from November 15, 2025 to January 8, 2026, with the most recent posted January 8, 2026); this trend may not represent the current condition of the product. While positive reviews are common, a certain number of posts also mention spoilage of individual fruit, since this is a wakeari item | Rakuten customer reviews (viewed September 26, 2026; read through 30 reviews) |
Suitable as a Gift?
The gift section of the Rakuten product page does not state whether noshi (gift wrapping label), gift wrapping, or message cards are supported, so this is not confirmed. The product description includes text directing shoppers to a separate 10kg product page for oseibo (year-end gift) purposes, but this points to a different product and does not indicate whether noshi is supported, what type of noshi inscription is available, or what kind of gift wrapping is offered. If you’re considering this as a gift, checking the following points with the seller before purchase can help avoid misunderstandings.
- Whether noshi (gift wrapping label) or gift wrapping is supported (not stated on the product page)
- Whether you can specify a shipping window the recipient can receive (shipping is by pre-order, from early November 2026 through mid-January 2027)
- Whether the recipient can be informed in advance that this is a wakeari (imperfect/irregular) item
