For this assortment of reduced-salt seasonings, the quantity and ingredient listings for each item and the order condition that it is for first-time customers only are written in separate places on the product page. “和歌山県産” (from Wakayama Prefecture) and “紀州” (Kishu) that appear in the image and in the shichimi’s name are the shop’s statements about the shichimi, just one of the 7 items in the set, and do not indicate the origin or place of processing of the set as a whole (the featured image is also the description image for that one shichimi item, and its place of processing is not confirmed).

Ingredients and Allergen Labeling
The product description lists ingredient names for 3 items: the ponzu, dashi shoyu, and shichimi. For the remaining 4 items (dashi tsuyu, Chinese-style dressing, ketchup, and salt-free ume), we could find neither ingredient names nor allergen labeling, so these are not confirmed.
- Ponzu: soy sauce (contains wheat and soybeans) (made in Japan), brewed vinegar, sugar, bonito dashi, yuzu juice, kombu extract, yeast extract, seafood extract, kabosu juice, concentrated satsuma mandarin juice
- Dashi shoyu: soy sauce (made in Japan), reduced starch syrup, starch syrup, fermented rice seasoning, sugar, salt, bonito extract seasoning, brewed vinegar, katsuobushi (dried bonito) dashi, hydrolyzed protein, yeast extract, katsuobushi extract, kombu extract / alcohol, (contains wheat and soybeans in part)

The items labeled as containing wheat and soybeans are the ponzu and the dashi shoyu (Source: product description on the Rakuten Ichiba product page, viewed October 5, 2026). There were no discrepancies in labeling between these 2 items. For the 4 items without listings and the shichimi, this article cannot determine whether or not they contain allergens. Please contact the shop before purchasing, or check the food labeling on the product you receive.
