This product is a set of 50 unseasoned frozen yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) made with chicken raised in Japan, chosen from cuts such as thigh, breast, bonjiri (tail), skin, seseri (neck), tsukune (chicken meatball), and liver (as stated on the product page). Points that are easy to get stuck on when choosing are how much the whole set amounts to at about 30g per skewer, the fact that it is unseasoned, and that ingredient and allergen labeling cannot be confirmed in the text of the product page. In this article, we organize what the product page states and Rakuten customer reviews (“Minna no Review”) for ミート21ショップ’s 国産焼き鳥バイキング50本セット (Domestic Yakitori Viking 50-Skewer Set; “viking” here means a pick-and-choose selection) into five points: quantity, storage method and shelf life, ingredients, suitability as a gift, and reviews.
