Suitable as a Gift?
We found no mention on the listing of support for noshi, wrapping, or message cards. If you are considering it as a gift, checking the following points before applying will help avoid misunderstandings (Source: Rakuten Furusato Nozei listing and guide image, viewed October 7, 2026).
- Noshi / wrapping / gift box: not mentioned, not confirmed
- Message card / name printing: not mentioned, not confirmed
- Delivery date: the listing says the shipping time of the thank-you gift cannot be specified
- Delivery address: the guide image says that if you want the thank-you gift sent to an address different from the applicant information, you should enter it in the 【送付先】 (delivery address) field. It also says the donation certificate is issued based on the applicant information, not the delivery address
- After applying: the listing says donation applications cannot be canceled, and the thank-you gift cannot be changed or returned
Because support for noshi, wrapping, and similar services could not be confirmed, if you plan to use it as a gift, please check the details on the listing before applying.

There are 14 1★ and 2★ reviews in total, and we read all of them. 4 of them were posted within the last two years (since October 2024), and the rest were posted between 2021 and 2023.

What Reviewers Note
Fattiness and heaviness
12 of the 14 1★ and 2★ reviews (7 of the 1★, 5 of the 2★; 4 of these were posted within the last two years) and 5 of the 60 default-order reviews (4 of these were posted within the last two years) said the meat was fatty, too rich, or sat heavy on the stomach. Many of them mentioned the steaks or cuts with heavy marbling (sashi).
The notes on the listing say that some cuts may have more lean meat or more fat.
How to check: the cut and amount of each delivery are summarized in the “Contents of Each Delivery” table under “Basic Information” in this article.
Toughness, sinew, and dryness
About 4 of the 14 1★ and 2★ reviews (about 2 of these were posted within the last two years) said the meat felt tough, sinewy, or dry, or felt no different from supermarket meat. On the other hand, some of the 60 default-order reviews said it was tender, so opinions on the same product are divided. One review said the steak deliveries were good but the other deliveries fell short of expectations.
