The “Sapporo” in the product name is a name for the product as a whole, and the origin of the ingredients differs by item (the product page’s ingredient field lists the chicken in the chicken curry as Japanese-grown and the pork in the braised pork belly curry as Spanish). The place of processing is not confirmed. This soup curry is a 2-serving retort-pouch set, and in the “combination” field of the purchase section you choose from three options: chicken × chicken, braised pork belly × braised pork belly, or chicken × braised pork belly. It is described as a product to store away from direct sunlight in a cool place, and it arrives by mail delivery (dropped into your mailbox). This article organizes what the Rakuten Ichiba product page and Rakuten reviews say into five points: quantity, shelf life, ingredient labeling, suitability as a gift, and reviews.
