The 鴨鍋三昧セット (Duck Hot Pot Set) is a frozen hot pot set with 3 kinds of duck: duck loin, duck thigh and duck meatballs (tsukune). Based on the product page of グルメソムリエ楽天市場店 (the グルメソムリエ store on Rakuten Ichiba), this article organizes the amount, shelf life, ingredient labeling, suitability as a gift and reviews. It centers on the about 1.2kg set, and an about 630g set for smaller households is also sold. The two features we could confirm on the product page are that it includes duck meatballs that the shop says are made without binder (tsunagi), and that no hot pot soup base is included.

- No hot pot soup base is included. The シェフ桑原 Duck Hot Pot Set (Serves 4–5), another duck hot pot set, comes with 200g of Hinai Jidori chicken soup
