Suitable as a Gift?
We found no statement on the product page that noshi (gift wrapping label) is supported. We could not confirm wrapping, a box, a message card, or name printing either (source: Rakuten Ichiba product page, accessed October 11, 2026). If you are considering it as a gift, checking the following before buying makes mix-ups less likely.
- How noshi and wrapping are handled (not stated on the product page; you need to ask the shop)
- Because it must be kept frozen, whether the recipient has freezer space for 2 pieces and when they can receive it
- The page states that delivery to remote islands is not available
About 5 of the first 60 reviews in the default order that we read said they used it as a gift for family or friends and that it pleased them (source: Rakuten customer reviews, accessed October 11, 2026).
