Ingredients and Allergen Labeling
We could not find an ingredient list in the text of the Rakuten Ichiba product page (the product description). A description image carries a notice that no ingredients containing allergenic substances (specified ingredients, etc.) are used (the shop’s notice. Source: description images on the Rakuten Ichiba product page, viewed October 2, 2026).
Imuraya’s official online store and Imuraya’s product page on Amazon.co.jp list the ingredients below (they are not from the Rakuten Ichiba product page, so the sources differ).
- Eiyokan: sugar (domestic manufacture), raw bean paste (生あん) (azuki beans), starch syrup (水あめ), agar
- Chocolate Eiyokan: sugar (domestic manufacture), raw bean paste (生あん) (kidney beans, いんげん豆), cocoa mass, starch syrup (水あめ), cocoa butter, agar / calcium lactate (乳酸Ca), flavoring
Regarding allergies, Imuraya’s official online store lists none of the 28 allergen items as applicable (viewed October 2, 2026). It differs from the Rakuten description image’s notice only in wording, and we found no discrepancy. However, these are not the Rakuten Ichiba product page’s labeling, and which specification of Chocolate Eiyokan (old or new) arrives is also not confirmed. Please check the latest labeling before buying, and also check the food information label on the product that arrives.
