Ingredients and Allergen Labeling
The product description on the Rakuten Ichiba product page shows the following labeling.
- Ingredients: sugar (made in Japan), salt, glutinous rice, powdered soy sauce (soy sauce, dextrin), plum flesh, plum powder, tencha (green tea leaves), bonito extract, niboshi (dried boiled fish) extract, kelp powder, bonito powder / seasoning (amino acids, etc.), flavoring, (contains wheat and soybeans in part)
- Labeling about the fish toppings: mackerel, silver salmon, kinmedai, tuna, sawara, herring, salt, fish sauce, plum vinegar (umezu)
- Labeling about the production line: this product’s production line also makes products containing salmon, mackerel, and squid
The allergen field lists only wheat and soybeans, but the ingredient field of the same product description lists fish such as silver salmon and mackerel. Because the entries on the same page do not match, in this article, as the safer approach, we go with the longer list of items and treat the product as possibly containing salmon and mackerel as well as wheat and soybeansSource: Product description on the Rakuten Ichiba product page (accessed October 13, 2026). Because the labeling on the product page alone does not let us decide, checking it against the seller’s labeling, such as on the official website, is not confirmed. If you have an allergy, please ask the seller before buying, or check the food information label on the product when it arrives.

The options on the purchase screen are no noshi, plain noshi (no inscription), 御歳暮 (oseibo, year-end gift), 御中元 (ochugen, mid-year gift), 御祝 (celebration), 内祝 (uchi-iwai, return gift), 御礼 (thanks), and お年賀 (New Year’s greeting). Name printing is also stated as available, and if you need it, you enter it in the notes field in the purchase steps. For message cards, the page states that an original message with no character limit is also accepted. For packaging, an image explains that a dedicated gift box is used. The page states that a statement showing the amount is not enclosed (confirmed October 13, 2026).
The notes on the purchase screen also include guidance about specifying the arrival date. Checking beforehand which days the recipient can receive it makes a mix-up less likely.

Among the reviews we read, many posts said it was used as a gift for parents, grandparents, a boss, or others and was appreciated (Source: Rakuten customer reviews, accessed October 13, 2026). On the other hand, 1 post said the buyer chose the message card with free-form text and filled in the message, but it arrived with a standard preprinted sticker (1★, May 2025).
