Shiseido Parlour’s (資生堂パーラー) custard pudding, 6 pieces, is a set of six cup-style custard puddings that can be stored at ambient (room) temperature. When you use it as a visiting gift or a present, you’ll likely want to know how long it keeps and how far you can customize the wrapping and noshi (gift wrapping label), but these points are hard to find without reading the product page closely. In this article, we’ve organized the product information published on the Rakuten Ichiba product page and on the Shiseido Parlour official website, along with what Rakuten reviews say, into five points: amount, storage, ingredient labeling, suitability as a gift, and reviews.

The shop states that when you use gift services such as noshi, ribbons, or message cards, it begins preparing the shipment after confirming the details, so it’s a good idea to order with time to spare before the delivery date (Source: the “お届けまでの流れ” (delivery process) image on the Rakuten Ichiba product page, accessed September 27, 2026).

What Reviewers Praise
Many reviewers describe the texture as rich and smooth, and some say the sweetness is not cloying and the taste is nostalgic. Others say it is easy to keep on hand as a visiting gift or an offering because it keeps at room temperature, and that it is easy to hand out because each piece is separate. Among reviewers who used it as a gift, comments praising the reassurance of the brand and the wrapping stand out.

What Reviewers Note
There was one review saying each piece is on the small side, and one saying they would like a larger set since only the 6-piece set is available. There is also one review stating that the item shipped in August had a best-before date of January 5. There are 3 reviews rated 1 or 2 overall, but none of them were among the 30 we read.
