The product name shown on the Rakuten Ichiba product page also lists words such as gift, present, and year-end gift, but we found no noshi or wrapping options in the gift field (see the “Suitable as a Gift?” section).
Ingredients and Allergen Labeling
The ingredients are listed as dried nori (Ariake Sea, Seto Inland Sea, and Miyagi Prefecture) only. We could not find a separate allergen labeling field on the product page, so this item is not confirmed.

Suitable as a Gift?
This is what we could confirm on the Rakuten Ichiba product page (viewed October 10, 2026).
- Noshi: no option is shown in the gift field of the product page. The types of noshi wording are not confirmed
- Wrapping: no option is shown in the gift field. A guide image on the product page says Yu-Packet uses simple packaging
- Message card: no option is shown in the gift field
- Delivery: because it is dropped into the mailbox, the page states that a delivery date and time cannot be specified
As above, we could not confirm support for noshi, wrapping, or message cards. If you are considering it as a gift, the Yu-Packet notes (no date or time specification, simple packaging) are the points to check before purchasing. One review said the buyer planned to feed it to a grandchild at New Year (source: Rakuten customer reviews, viewed October 10, 2026).
