Caviar comes in small amounts, so it is worth checking the storage temperature range, the best-before date, and the ingredient labeling before you choose. This article organizes the publicly available product information and Rakuten reviews for the French Caviar 18g [Chilled / Can Be Frozen] sold by セレスト(cerest) on Rakuten Ichiba into five points: amount, storage method, ingredient labeling, suitability as a gift, and reviews. As for the type (variety) of sturgeon, the heading of the product description carries the notation “オシェトラ”, but the name and ingredient fields do not state a type, and we have not been able to confirm how the guide image’s notation corresponds, so this article does not state a variety.
What We Confirmed
