Among Hokkaido seafood hot pot sets, what sets this product apart is that you can choose the main ingredient from five options: snow crab, oyster, kandara (cod), yellowtail, or autumn salmon. In the product name, Hokkaido is used to refer to the set as a whole, and the raw material’s origin differs by item — if you choose snow crab, it is from Canada. The processing location is not confirmed. Because it works differently from a set where crab is fixed as the main ingredient, it’s easy to get stuck on questions like “which one should I actually choose” or “what changes if I pick something other than crab.” This article organizes the differences among the five choices, along with the ingredients included no matter which you pick, the storage method, gift suitability, and reviews, based on what the product page and official site say.

Ingredients & Allergen Labeling
For the ingredients themselves, the page only states “see the product label,” and we could not find a list of ingredient names on the product page; this is not confirmed. Allergen labeling, on the other hand, is shown for each main-ingredient choice as follows.
| Main Ingredient | Declared Allergens |
|---|---|
| Snow crab | crab, shrimp, squid, wheat, milk, egg, soybean, chicken, pork |
| Oyster | shrimp, squid, wheat, milk, egg, soybean, chicken, pork |
| Kandara (cod) | shrimp, squid, wheat, milk, egg, soybean, chicken, pork |

For the oyster, we could not find a “for cooking” or “safe to eat raw” label on either the product page or the official site. This point is not confirmed. Ochinity does not make a judgment on whether cooking is required; please always follow the food information label included with the product, or the seller’s guidance.
Crab, shrimp, other crustaceans, egg, and milk are among the items whose labeling is required under Japan’s Food Labeling Act. If you have a shellfish (crustacean) allergy and are considering the crab option, or if you’re concerned about any other allergy, please contact the seller before purchasing or check the food information label on the product when it arrives.

Suitable as a Gift?
The Gift section of the Rakuten Ichiba product page shows “noshi supported.” However, we found no statement about the type of inscription or whether name printing is available, so this is not confirmed. As for packaging, the product page explicitly states “gift wrapping paper not available.” On the official site listing the same product (Shima no Hito official online shop), we confirmed the wording “noshi accepted / e-gift (digital gift-sending) supported / packaging not available” directly under the product nameSource: Shima no Hito official online shop (viewed September 14, 2026). We found no mention of message card support on either the product page or the official site, so this is not confirmed.
If you’re considering this as a gift, checking the following points with the seller before purchase should help avoid misunderstandings.
- Type of noshi inscription and whether name printing is available (not stated on the product page)
- Whether message cards are supported (not stated on the product page)
- Since this arrives by frozen delivery, whether the recipient can specify a delivery date and time
- Whether the recipient has a crustacean allergy (if you choose crab) or a shellfish allergy (if you choose oyster)
