| Shipping | Delivered by Sagawa Express; the page states that delivery dates cannot be specified in some areas. If you have a preferred delivery date, the page says you can request it in the “delivery date” field or the notes field on the recipient-details screen (except in some areas where this is not possible). Based on the product name and the shop’s catchphrase, shipping is expected to begin from mid-October (as confirmed on September 29, 2026). The same shop’s Yahoo!

Shopping product page itself is not confirmed).

Suitable as a Gift?
The product page explicitly states “noshi and gift wrapping not available”Source: product description on the product page (accessed September 29, 2026). This reads as meaning noshi (gift wrapping label) service and gift-style packaging are not offered.
In addition, based on the product name and the shop’s catchphrase, shipping is expected to begin from mid-October (as confirmed on September 29, 2026), and specifying a delivery date is handled only as a request on the recipient-details screen — both points worth keeping in mind if you’re considering this as a gift.
