Because a Japanese-style two-tier osechi has so many dishes, it can be hard to tell from the product page alone how many people “27 dishes” serves and by when it should be eaten. This article organizes the information published on the Rakuten Ichiba product page and in the shop’s allergen list for Itamaetamashii’s Japanese-style two-tier osechi “Nozomi” (板前魂の望) under five points: amount, storage method, ingredient labeling, suitability as a gift, and reviews. Its feature is a Japanese-style two-tier box of 27 dishes for 2 people, for which you can choose the delivery date and delivery time.
