What arrives in a smoked cheese assortment changes depending on whether you choose 4 or 5 kinds and how it is wrapped. On top of that, the ingredients and storage temperature cannot be read from the product page, so there are many points worth checking before you choose. For the 煙神 (Enjin) choose-your-own smoked cheese assortment, this article organizes the publicly available product information and the entries on review sites into five points: content volume, shelf life, ingredient labeling, suitability as a gift, and reviews.

Suitable as a Gift?
On the product page, we could confirm that noshi is supported and that all noshi paper is uchi-noshi. We could not confirm the types of inscription from the product page. For packaging, you choose either a gift box or a gift box + wrapping in the options field (Source: Rakuten Ichiba product page, viewed October 13, 2026).
- Packaging: the page says that wrapped items are double-wrapped in vinyl over the wrapping paper, and that the wrapping sticker is placed on top of the wrapping paper. Carrier bags are sold separately
- Enclosures: the page says that items showing the amount, such as a delivery slip or receipt, are not enclosed
- Message card: we found no mention of support on the product page (Not confirmed)
- Delivery date: you specify it from the options field, from 3 business days later at the earliest. Since it arrives by chilled delivery, you need to check a date and time the recipient can receive it
In the reviews (we read the first 59 in Rakuten’s default order and 4 filtered to 2★, posted from August 2020 to September 2026, the newest in September 2026; they may not reflect the product’s current condition), about 36 of the 59 reviews in the default order (approximate) mentioned gifts such as for birthdays, Father’s Day and return gifts (uchi-iwai). On the other hand, 3 of the 4 reviews filtered to 2★ were about mix-ups in the order contents or delivery, such as noshi not being attached, the wrapping that arrived not matching the occasion that was ordered, or an error in delivery (posted in 2020, 2022 and 2026). It is a good idea to review the noshi and wrapping specification on the confirmation screen before ordering (Source: Rakuten customer reviews, viewed October 13, 2026).
