The 会津CROPS米直販・楽天市場店 (Aizu CROPS Rice Direct Sales Rakuten Ichiba store) sells 180g packaged cooked rice (“pakku gohan”, packed rice) made with Fukushima-grown Koshihikari on Rakuten Ichiba. When you buy packed rice by the box, it is hard to tell whether to choose 1 box or 2 boxes, how long it keeps, and whether a heating time is stated. So this article organizes what the product page states and the Rakuten reviews into five points: content volume, storage method and shelf life, ingredient labeling, gift suitability and reviews.
What We Confirmed
- Content volume and the difference between 1 box and 2 boxes (whether the number of servings is stated)
- Storage method and shelf life
- Ingredient and allergen labeling
- Whether it works as a gift
- Trends in public reviews

Suitable as a Gift?
In the settings field of the product page, noshi (gift wrapping label), wrapping and message cards were all shown as “none (なし)” (accessed October 12, 2026). We also found no gift box or gift-oriented description on the product page. If you are considering it for gifting, keeping the following points in mind makes a mix-up less likely.
- Noshi, wrapping and message cards are shown as not available
- 1 box is 180g x 40 packs (7,200g in total) and 2 boxes are 180g x 80 packs (14,400g in total), so the recipient needs storage space
- The heating time is not stated on the product page and is not confirmed
Among the reviews we read, about 12 of the 60 in the default sort order said the reviewer had sent packed rice to their parents’ home or to grandchildren (source: Rakuten Minna no Review, accessed October 12, 2026. This applies only to the range we read and may not reflect the product’s current condition).

Stockpiling and keeping a supply
About 16 of the 60 reviews mentioned keeping a supply or stockpiling, such as the “rolling stock” method (eating the oldest stock first and buying more to replace it). The point that the best-before date is described as 180 days or more is summarized in the basic information table.

What Reviewers Note
Price increase
About 8 of the 79 reviews we read said the price has gone up compared with before or that they wished it were a little cheaper (about 6 of the 60 in the default sort order and 2 of the 19 at ★1 to ★3; all were posted in the last 2 years).
Smell
7 of the 79 reviews said the reviewer noticed the smell typical of packed rice or an unusual smell (2 of the 60 in the default sort order and 5 of the 19 at ★1 to ★3; all 7 were posted in the last 2 years). On the other hand, about 4 posts said the smell was not bothersome, so impressions are divided.
How to check: the pH adjuster in the ingredient name, and the product description’s note that a sour taste or sour smell may be noticed after heating, are summarized in “Ingredients and Allergen Labeling” in this article.
Shape of the container
About 5 of the 79 reviews mentioned the container, such as grains of rice remaining in the container, an open space at the top of the container making the amount look small, and a film that is hard to open (3 of the 60 in the default sort order and 2 of the 15 at ★3; all were posted in the last 2 years).
How to check: the point that the container is a tray is in the “Content volume” row of the “Basic Information” section of this article.
