What Public Reviews Say
We organized the product reviews on Rakuten Ichiba by topic. Rating figures are as of the time we viewed them and change afterward. The following are trends within what we read and may not reflect the product’s current condition.
| Site | Rating | Reviews | Viewed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rakuten customer reviews (product page) | 4.89 / 5 | 134 | October 6, 2026 |
Rating breakdown: 5★ 123 / 4★ 9 / 3★ 1 / 2★ 0 / 1★ 1 (as shown on Rakuten Ichiba, viewed October 6, 2026)
What we read: the first 60 reviews in the default order (posted December 2024 to April 2026; latest April 2026), plus all 1 of the 1★ reviews (posted January 2026) and all 1 of the 3★ reviews (posted September 2023), 62 in total. There were no 2★ reviews. These are trends within what we read and may not reflect the product’s current condition.
There are only 2 reviews rated 1★ to 3★ in total, so the strength of any trend cannot be judged from the counts alone. The counts below are approximate numbers we counted by reading the reviews, and do not include posts only about delivery or shop service.
What Reviewers Praise
Small, individually wrapped packs that are easy to use
About 39 of the 60 reviews in the default order mentioned how easy the small or individual packs are to use, such as being able to thaw only the amount you want to eat and not taking up much freezer space. Some wrote that people living alone or as a couple can use it a little at a time.
Tenderness and little odor
About 16 of the 60 reviews in the default order said the meat was tender or that they noticed no unpleasant odor. Some also wrote that they used it for cold shabu-shabu, ginger pork, meat rolls, and so on, besides shabu-shabu (reviewers’ descriptions).
Sweetness of the fat
About 8 of the 60 reviews in the default order said the fat was sweet or light. Reviews about the belly stood out.
Repeat applications / subscription
About 25 of the 60 reviews in the default order said they had ordered again, apply every year, or switched to the subscription.

What Reviewers Note
Packaging option names are confusing
2 reviews—1 of the 60 in the default order and the 1★ review—said that they chose an option named “simple packaging” (簡易包装) thinking it meant 100g individual packs but received 200g packs, or that the packaging had changed to a simpler one for the same amount as before. The packaging options on the current listing are named film-wrapped (100g per pack) and tray-packed (200g per pack), which differ from the option names in those reviews.
How to check: the current packaging options and the amount per pack are summarized in “What changes depending on your choice” in the Basic Information section of this article.
The belly looks fatty
3 reviews said the belly looked fatty. Two of them went on to say it was sweet or light when they ate it, and only 1 wrote it as a complaint about the taste.
