The cumulative total also includes posts about crops older than the Reiwa 8 crop, so this trend may not reflect the product’s current state.

Suitable as a Gift?
In the gift options field of the Rakuten Ichiba product page, we could not find any indication that noshi (gift wrapping label), wrapping, or message cards are supported (viewed October 6, 2026). We also could not find a statement about gift use on the product page or guide images. We could not confirm any information about name printing.
- Noshi (gift wrapping label): no indication of support found
- Wrapping and message cards: no indication of support found
- Delivery date: stated as specifiable up to 4 weeks ahead (delivery to Okinawa Prefecture is stated as unavailable)
If you are considering it as a gift, do not assume noshi or wrapping is available; checking with the shop before purchasing can help avoid misunderstandings.
What Public Reviews Say
Below is a summary of the product reviews on Rakuten Ichiba, organized by topic. The rating figures are as of the time we accessed them and may change afterward.
| Site | Rating | Reviews | Viewed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rakuten customer reviews (product page) | 4.57 / 5 | 20,735 | October 6, 2026 |
Rating breakdown: 5★ 14,092 / 4★ 5,016 / 3★ 1,135 / 2★ 257 / 1★ 236 (as shown on Rakuten Ichiba; viewed October 6, 2026). The breakdown adds up to 20,736, which is 1 more than the displayed total of 20,735. The reason for the discrepancy is not confirmed
What we read: the first 60 reviews in the default order (posted October 2025 to October 2026; latest October 2026), plus 30 filtered to 1★ (posted January 2016 to April 2026) and 30 filtered to 2★ (posted July 2015 to September 2024), 120 in total. The cumulative total of about 20,000 reviews dates from 2015 and includes posts about crops older than the Reiwa 8 crop. Of the 60 in the default order, 33 were posted in September 2026 or later and 27 earlier (October 2025 to August 2026). Because the product page does not state when the Reiwa 8 crop went on sale, we split at September as a rough guide. These are trends within what we read and may not reflect the product’s current condition.
What Reviewers Praise
Taste, sweetness, and aroma
Of the 54 reviews in the default order, excluding posts from people who had not yet eaten the rice, about 40 mentioned that the taste was good. 4 mentioned sweetness and 3 mentioned aroma. How taste is perceived varies from person to person.
Gloss, cooked result, and firmness of the grains
Of the 60 reviews in the default order, about 9 mentioned the gloss, the cooked result, or firm grains.
Eating it after it cools
Only 2 of the 60 reviews in the default order mentioned the taste after the rice cools, such as in rice balls or packed lunches. The number is too small to call a trend.
Repeat purchases
About 15 of the 60 reviews in the default order said the reviewer keeps buying it or has bought it repeatedly.
Source: Rakuten customer reviews (viewed October 6, 2026). The posts about praised points span October 2025 to October 2026, so they cannot be called an evaluation limited to the Reiwa 8 crop
What Reviewers Note
Condition of the grains, smell, and torn bags
Of the 60 reviews at 1★ and 2★, 11 mentioned small grains or many broken grains, 7 mentioned black grains or cloudy white grains, 6 mentioned smell, and 4 mentioned torn or leaking bags. One post may mention several points. None of these were posted in the past two years (October 2024 onward); most are from 2015 to 2023.
Texture and lack of sweetness
Of the 60 reviews at 1★ and 2★, about 23 mentioned a lack of stickiness or gloss, dryness, or a lack of sweetness. Of these, 1 was posted in the past two years (November 2024). How taste is perceived varies from person to person.
