The ingredients field on the product page says beef (Hida Gyu). On the other hand, within what we could check, we found no allergen labeling (specified ingredients) and no ingredient list for the included steak sauce. This item is not confirmed.
Note that beef is among the items for which labeling is recommended under Japan’s Food Labeling Act (items equivalent to specified ingredients). If you have a food allergy, ask the shop before buying or be sure to check the label on the product when it arrives.

The same shop has another article on Hida Gyu Karubi Yakiniku Mega Portion 1kg (2 packs of 500g). That is 2 packs of 500g (1kg in total) for yakiniku, a different product from the steak in this article (about 165g × 3 steaks, 500g in total) in both cut and quantity.
Suitable as a Gift?
The Rakuten Ichiba product page states that the packaging is a gift box and indicates support for noshi. The noshi inscription is chosen from the wrapping and noshi field in the purchase process, and as far as we could read in the information images, in addition to “御礼” (thanks), “内祝” (return gift, uchi-iwai), and “御祝” (celebration), all of which are card-type noshi, various other noshi are said to be available. The full list of inscriptions you can choose is not confirmed (Source: product description and information images on the Rakuten Ichiba product page, viewed October 15, 2026).
- Noshi: support indicated. The full list of inscriptions is not confirmed
- Gift box: the packaging is stated to be a gift box. We found no separate mention of a simple gift box or gift wrapping
- Message card: the shop’s guide says there is a service that prints text of your choice, and you choose the type of card (birthday, thanks, year-end and New Year, etc.) from the options field. An information image also states that name printing is accepted
- Furoshiki: included if requested, enclosed folded (it is for use when handing over the gift, and the shop is said not to wrap the item in it)
- Delivery: you can choose chilled or frozen delivery, but only frozen delivery is available to destinations where delivery takes 2 or more days. Please check on the purchase field whether you can specify a delivery date and time
Some reviews say they used it for a birthday, Father’s Day, uchi-iwai, or okaeshi (a return gift for a celebration), as well as for oseibo (year-end gift) or ochugen (mid-year gift). However, whether oseibo or ochugen can be chosen as the noshi inscription is not confirmed. If you plan to give it as a gift, check the noshi inscription and the arrival date with the shop before buying, and also check beforehand the date the recipient can receive it and whether they have room in the freezer, which makes mix-ups less likely.
