A raw ham “mini genboku” (a small whole-leg-style block of raw ham) is chosen by weight range, and the type of pork and how it arrives have to be read separately on the product page. This article covers “生ハム専用豚肉 アンダルシアポーク ミニ原木” (“Raw ham pork, Andalusian pork, mini genboku”), sold by the Rakuten Ichiba shop Iberico-ya (イベリコ屋). Iberico-ya is the name of the shop, not a label for the type of pork. We sorted the publicly available product information and reviews into five points: amount, shelf life, ingredient labeling, suitability as a gift, and reviews. The pork listed in the product information field is Andalusian pork (アンダルシアポーク) from Spain.

Suitable as a Gift?
The product page says it supports noshi (gift wrapping label), name printing on the noshi, and wrapping. The noshi wording can reportedly be chosen from options such as birthday, thanks, return gift (uchi-iwai), wedding celebration and childbirth celebration. It comes in a gift box, and the page says it also supports social gifts, where the recipient enters the delivery address themselves (source: Rakuten Ichiba product page, accessed October 11, 2026).
- Message card: the description says it is supported, but the gift items field on the product page is empty, so the labeling is inconsistent. What we could confirm is limited to the statement in the description
- Noshi wording: oseibo (year-end gift), ochugen (mid-year gift) and Father’s Day are listed as suggested occasions. We did not find a statement on whether they can be chosen as the noshi wording
- Delivery temperature: Not confirmed. Checking beforehand whether the recipient has room in their freezer and a convenient time to receive it helps avoid mix-ups
About 16 of the 60 reviews we read in the default order were from people who bought it as a gift and said it was well received (source: Rakuten customer reviews, accessed October 11, 2026. These counts are within what we read and may not reflect the product’s current condition).

What Reviewers Note
A lot of fat
11 of the 22 reviews rated 1★ or 2★ (7 at 1★ and 4 at 2★) mentioned feeling there was a lot of fat. However, all 11 were posted more than 2 years ago, and none were posted within the last 2 years. Within what we read, we cannot tell whether this has become less common recently.
How to check: you cannot choose the cut or the proportion of fat. What we could confirm is summarized in the “What Changes Depending on Your Choice” and “Cut” rows of “Basic Information” in this article.
Hard to slice thinly / noticeable sinew / firm

How to check: the shop’s guidance on slicing is included in the “Condition / How to Eat (Cooking Required?)” row of “Basic Information” in this article.
Gamey smell / strong character
3 of the 22 reviews rated 1★ or 2★ said a gamey smell or strong character bothered them (1 within the last 2 years).On the other hand, 4 of the 60 reviews in the default order said the strong character or smell did not bother them.
