“Hakata” in the product name is the product’s designation for a type of noodle, not an indication of where the ingredients come from or where the product is processed (the prefecture of origin of the ingredients and of processing are not confirmed; the country of manufacture is listed as Japan). This article organizes the product page of the Kakuya Foods Rakuten Ichiba store (かくやフーズ 楽天市場店) and the Rakuten customer reviews (“Minna no Review”) for the 2-box set of Ichiran Ramen (一蘭ラーメン) Hakata Thin Straight Noodles (5 servings per box, 10 in total) into five points: amount, shelf life, ingredient labeling, gift suitability, and reviews. It also covers that the boxes are divided differently on Rakuten Ichiba and Amazon, and that the best-before date and the manufacturer could not be found on the product page.
What We Confirmed
- Amount and how many people it serves
- Storage method and shelf life
- Ingredient and allergen labeling
- Whether it works as a gift
- Trends in public reviews

Ingredients and Allergen Labeling
The Rakuten Ichiba product page shows the ingredient list and allergen labeling. Amazon has a different listing (5 boxes of 2 servings each, sold by a different store), and in the ingredient section of its product page the allergen items do not match the Rakuten Ichiba labeling. Because we could not confirm that it is the same product, we have not linked to Amazon.
| Source | Ingredient labeling | Allergens (contained in part) |
|---|---|---|
| Rakuten Ichiba product page (product description) | Noodles (wheat flour, plant protein, salt) (made in Japan), soup (aroma oil, pork extract, soy sauce, protein hydrolysate, sugar, pork paste, salt, fermented seasoning, seasoning paste, spices), condiments (chili pepper powder, pepper powder) / seasoning (amino acids, etc.), alcohol, thickener (modified starch), kansui (alkaline noodle agent), oxidized starch, caramel color, antioxidant (vitamin E) | Wheat, soybeans, pork |
| Amazon product page of a different listing (5 boxes of 2 servings each; ingredient section; no link) | Some items differ from the Rakuten Ichiba labeling (it lists prepared lard, brewed vinegar, reduced starch syrup, pH adjuster, and others) | Wheat, soybeans, chicken, pork |
Sources: Rakuten Ichiba product page, Amazon product page (both viewed September 30, 2026)
The product pages do not explain why the two labels differ. We therefore write on the assumption of the side with more items (wheat, soybeans, chicken, pork). If you have allergies, please ask the shop before purchasing, or check the food information label on the package of the product you receive.

The Amazon listing is 5 boxes of 2 servings each, with the same total of 10 servings | Rakuten Ichiba and Amazon product pages. No statement of how many people a serving feeds |

| 4. Whether it works as a gift | We found no mention of noshi, gift wrapping, or message cards. The shop’s catchphrase says it is also welcome as a souvenir or present | Rakuten Ichiba product page (viewed September 30, 2026) |
| 5. Review trends | Rakuten Ichiba rating is 4.56 / 5 (274 reviews; we read 84 of them). These trends do not necessarily reflect the product’s current condition | Rakuten customer reviews (“Minna no Review”) (viewed September 30, 2026) |
Suitable as a Gift?
We could not confirm any mention of support for noshi, gift wrapping, or message cards on the Rakuten Ichiba product page (viewed September 30, 2026). The shop’s catchphrase says the product is also welcome as a souvenir or present, but that is the shop’s own statement and does not indicate support for noshi or wrapping. If you plan to give it as a gift, please check the following before purchasing.
- Whether noshi or wrapping is supported (not stated on the product page)
- Specifying a delivery date: the search keywords in the product description include terms for delivery-date specification, but we found no explanation of the range that can be specified. Please check the options on the order screen
- Itemized statement: the shop’s notice image says that a statement showing the amounts is not included in the package (to go paperless)
- Shipping: the shop is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, and orders placed on Friday ship at the start of the following week
What Public Reviews Say
We organized the Rakuten Ichiba product reviews by theme. Rating figures are as of the time viewed and will change afterward.
| Site | Rating | Count | Viewed On |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rakuten customer reviews (“Minna no Review”) (product page) | 4.56 / 5 | 274 reviews | September 30, 2026 |
Rating breakdown: 5★ 187 / 4★ 63 / 3★ 18 / 2★ 2 / 1★ 4 (as shown on Rakuten Ichiba, viewed September 30, 2026)
What we read: the first 60 reviews in Rakuten’s default order (posted November 2020 to August 2026; latest August 2026), plus 4 filtered to 1★ (posted October 2020 to September 2022), 2 filtered to 2★ (posted March 2021 to February 2025), and 18 filtered to 3★ (posted May 2020 to March 2025), 84 in total. Because 1★ and 2★ reviews together number fewer than 10, we widened the range to 3★. These are trends within what we read and may not reflect the product’s current condition.
The “set contents” field of the posts shows both 1 box (5 servings) and 2 boxes (10 servings). The reviews in this article therefore do not necessarily come only from buyers of the 2-box set.
