“Kobe CRAB” is the name of the shop on Rakuten Ichiba, not an indication of where the raw material comes from. Ikura (salmon or trout roe) marinated in soy sauce is a food whose grain size, saltiness, and best-before guideline are described differently from one listing to another, so it’s easy to buy it without knowing, once it arrives, how many servings it is or how soon you need to eat it. This article organizes the publicly available product information and review-site listings for Kobe CRAB’s fully ripened ikura marinated in soy sauce, 250g, into five points: amount, storage method, ingredient labeling, suitability as a gift, and reviews.

Suitable as a Gift?
The product name and description use the words “gift” and “present,” but when we checked the gift settings on the product page, noshi, wrapping, and message card were all set to “none”Source: Product page’s gift-settings field (viewed September 27, 2026). We found no information about the types of noshi inscription or gift-box wrapping available, so the details are not confirmed.
If you are considering this as a gift, checking the following with the shop directly before you buy can help avoid a mismatch with what the recipient expects.
- Whether noshi/inscription and wrapping can be arranged (the setting on the page is “none”)
- Whether you can specify a delivery date and time the recipient can receive it, since it arrives by frozen delivery
- Whether the timing works for the recipient to eat it soon, since it should be eaten promptly after thawing
