“Hokkaido” in the product name is a name for the set as a whole; it does not indicate where the ingredients come from or where the product is processed. The product page and its description images mention Hokkaido-grown ingredients for only some items (such as the eggs in the Fromage Orchestra), and the origin of each ingredient and the place of processing are not confirmed. This article covers a frozen sweets set sold by the Rakuten Ichiba shop “北国からの贈り物(北海道グルメ)”, containing one each of Waraku-do (わらく堂)’s Fromage Orchestra (フロマージュオーケストラ), Kagomori Rare Cheesecake (かご盛レアチーズケーキ), and Sapporo Akarenga Chocolat (さっぽろ赤レンガショコラ). Because the weight (g), best-before date, and ingredients could not be confirmed on the product page either, we organized the publicly available product information and reviews into five points: quantity, shelf life, ingredient labeling, suitability as a gift, and reviews.
What We Confirmed
- Quantity and number of servings
- Storage method and shelf life
- Ingredients and allergen labeling
- Whether it works as a gift
- Trends in public reviews

Whether it works as a gift
Below is what we could confirm on the product page, organized by source.
- Noshi: the “noshi” field on the product page is marked as supported, and the product description also says noshi is available. We could not find a description of the types of inscription. The product description says it can be used for gift occasions such as year-end gifts (oseibo), summer gifts (ochugen), birthdays, and return gifts (uchiiwai) (Rakuten Ichiba product page, viewed October 8, 2026).
- Packaging: gift wrapping is not accepted, and the product arrives in a simply packaged cardboard box. Materials for individual wrapping are also said to be unavailable. The 3 items arrive in separate boxes (Rakuten Ichiba product page description and Q&A).
- Message cards and name printing: we could not find any information on the product page.
- Delivery date and time: you can specify a date and time, at the earliest 8 business days later (excluding the year-end and New Year period).
- Arriving frozen: delivery is not available to Okinawa, remote islands, and some other areas. If sending it as a gift, you also need to consider whether the recipient can receive it on the delivery day and whether they have room in the freezer for 3 boxes until it is thawed.
Among the reviews we read, 4 of the 9 in the default order that can be regarded as about this product said it was used as a birthday or Mother’s Day gift, or as a gift for family far away, and was well received (source: Rakuten customer reviews, viewed October 8, 2026.

What Public Reviews Say
Of the product reviews on Rakuten Ichiba, we organized the recent posts that can be regarded as about this product by theme.

Rakuten’s review page also includes posts from about 2006 to 2014 about other products, such as lucky bags, nama caramel, melon pan, and cream puffs. Because the figures in the table (2,810 reviews, 4.43) include them, these figures are not a rating of this product alone.
What we read: 57 reviews in Rakuten’s default order (posted July 2006 to April 2026; latest April 2026), 30 reviews filtered to 1★ (posted February 2007 to July 2014), and 28 reviews filtered to 2★ (posted December 2007 to May 2026), 115 in total. Of these, the posts that mention the 3 items in this set, or that were posted within the past two years (October 8, 2024 onward) and can be regarded as about this product, number 9 in the default order and 1 at 2★ (we judged whether a post is about this product from its content and posting date). The 30 reviews at 1★ were all posted in 2014 or earlier and are not counted in the themes. These are trends within what we read and may not reflect the product’s current condition.

What Reviewers Note
Mentions of price
2 of the 9 posts mentioned the price. Both said they were satisfied with the taste. Prices change, so no amount is listed in this article.
In addition, there was 1 post at 2★ from within the past two years (May 2026) saying that a splinter from the basket pierced a finger while taking out the cheesecake served in the basket. Because it concerns safety, we mention it even though it is only one post. We found no similar comment elsewhere in what we read, so it cannot be called a trend. Please be careful with your hands when taking it out.
