What Public Reviews Say
We organized the Rakuten Ichiba product reviews by theme. The rating figures are as of the time we viewed them and may change afterward. What follows is a trend in what we read and does not necessarily reflect the current state of the product.
| Site | Rating | Reviews | Viewed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rakuten customer reviews (product page) | 4.75 / 5 | 2,406 | November 5, 2026 |
Rating breakdown: 5 stars 1,878 / 4 stars 463 / 3 stars 55 / 2 stars 3 / 1 star 7 (as shown on Rakuten Ichiba; viewed November 5, 2026)
What we read: the first 59 reviews in the default sort order (posted from November 2025 to October 2026; the latest is from October 2026), all 7 reviews at 1 star (posted from September 2017 to September 2026) and all 3 reviews at 2 stars (posted from May 2018 to September 2025), for 69 in all. We did not read the 55 reviews at 3 stars. The 59 in the default sort order skew toward posts from roughly the last year and do not represent the trend across all 2,406 reviews.
The 1- and 2-star reviews we read total only 10, so the number of posts alone cannot show how strong a trend is. The counts below are approximate figures from reading the text, and exclude posts that only concern shipping, shop support or mail newsletters.
