The “焼き鳥 国産 バイキング 塩 50本セット” (Domestic Yakitori Viking, Salt, 50-Skewer Set) from グルメマイスター楽天市場店 is a set of yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) made with chicken from Japan and already marinated in a salt-based sauce, and you choose the cuts from 13 types. (“Viking” is the Japanese word for a buffet-style, choose-what-you-like format.) The page says the skewers arrive uncooked, before any heating, by chilled “cool” delivery, and the seller says to cook them thoroughly, for example on a fish grill or in a frying pan, before eating. Based on the Rakuten Ichiba product page and reviews, this article organizes five points: contents, storage, ingredient labeling, gifts, and reviews. The features confirmed on the product page are three: you can choose the cuts, each cut comes in a vacuum pack of 5 skewers, and the skewers arrive already seasoned with salt.

Summary: Is This the One for You?
Why choose it: you want to choose your own cuts to make up 50 skewers, and you want skewers that already have a salt seasoning and only need grilling. If those two are your conditions, this product fits: you choose 5 types from 13, and the skewers arrive already marinated in a salt-based sauce. However, because the skewers arrive uncooked by chilled delivery, as the seller says you need to freeze any you will not eat soon and cook them thoroughly when eating.
- The product image says to choose 5 types, 10 skewers each, from 13 types of cuts. They come in vacuum packs of 5 skewers per cut, and the page says you can take out just the amount you will use
- Rakuten rating 4.5 / 5 (313 reviews). Among the 82 we read, many mentioned the salt seasoning and saltiness (12 of 60) and being able to choose the cuts (9). On the other hand, some said the saltiness is strong (6 of 74 read), the meat has a smell (8 of 82 read), or that some cuts are small or tough (8)
