The Fromage Double size No. 4 from LeTAO (ルタオ) is a single-item product: one cheesecake 12cm in diameter, delivered frozen. The product name says it is for 2 to 4 people, but the number of people is the shop’s guideline. Because it arrives frozen, it helps to know the product page’s guidance on thawing time and how soon to finish it in advance. In this article, we have organized the product page listing and information from review sites into five points: quantity, storage method, ingredient labeling, suitability as a gift, and reviews.

Ingredients and Allergen Labeling
We could not find an ingredient list on the Rakuten Ichiba product page. The ingredient list below is copied from the Amazon product page that lists the same specification (1 cake, 12cm in diameter); it is not from Rakuten Ichiba.
| Ingredients (as listed on Amazon) | fresh cream (raw milk (Hokkaido)), cream cheese, sugar, whole eggs, mascarpone cheese, wheat flour, egg yolk, gelatin / stabilizer (locust bean gum) |
|---|---|
| Allergen labeling | wheat, eggs, milk ingredients, gelatin |
Source: the ingredient list is from the Amazon product page, and the allergen labeling is from the attribute section on the Rakuten Ichiba product page (viewed October 10, 2026). The allergen information on the Amazon product page lists the same items: gelatin, milk, eggs, and wheat (only the words “milk” and “milk ingredients” differ).
In addition to the allergen labeling on the product page, the shop advises checking the food information label on the back and side of the box. If you have an allergy to an item that is not listed, ask the shop before buying or check the food information label on the product you receive. The ingredient list may differ from the product you receive, so in the end, give priority to what the label says.

Suitable as a Gift?
The purchase section on the Rakuten Ichiba product page has options for noshi (gift wrapping label), a message card, and candles (viewed October 10, 2026).
- Noshi: there is an option to add noshi, and you choose the inscription from these combinations: 内祝 (return gift), 御礼 (thanks), 御祝 (celebration), 御歳暮 (oseibo, year-end gift), 御年賀 (New Year’s gift) (red-and-white bow knot) / 寿 (congratulations), 内祝, 御礼, 御祝 (red-and-white fixed knot, 10 strands) / 快気祝 (gift celebrating recovery from illness), 内祝 (red-and-white fixed knot, 5 strands). You can also choose no noshi. The shop states that the name printed on the noshi can be up to 7 characters (half-width characters not allowed). The shop states that if you choose a ribbon sticker, noshi cannot be provided
- Message card: you can choose from none, a birthday card, a seasonal message card, or a Christmas card. The shop states that messages can be up to 20 characters
- Candles: there is an option for large candles (12cm, set of 5)
- Packaging: we could not confirm on the product page whether it comes in a gift box, a simple gift box, or gift wrapping. Individual wrapping is shown as “none”
- Delivery: the shop states that you can specify the delivery date and time. Because it arrives frozen and the guideline is to finish it within 48 hours after thawing, checking a day when the recipient can receive it helps avoid missed deliveries. A guidance image from the shop states that a statement or receipt is not included in the package
The shop’s description lists uses such as birthdays, return gifts (uchi-iwai), oseibo (year-end gift), and Mother’s Day, and states that, depending on the product, it may not be able to meet the desired use, such as a seasonal gift, because of the best-before date. In the reviews, about 22 of the 60 in the standard order said they used it as a gift for occasions such as birthdays, Mother’s Day, ochugen (mid-year gift), and White Day (source: Rakuten customer reviews, viewed October 10, 2026).
