Regarding “Awaji Island” and “Awaji beef” in the product name: the ingredient list on the product page shows “onion (from Awaji Island)” and “beef (from Awaji Island),” and the term “Awaji beef” does not appear in the ingredient list. This retort curry comes as 3 servings of 200g each, can be stored at room temperature, and is heated in hot water before eating. Some points, such as the amount of ingredients and the manufacturer, cannot be known from the product page alone, so this article organizes what the Rakuten Ichiba product page and Rakuten reviews state into five points: quantity, storage method, ingredient labeling, suitability as a gift, and reviews.
