What Public Reviews Say
We organized the product reviews on Rakuten Ichiba by viewpoint. The rating figures are as of the viewing date and change afterward. What follows is a trend within what we read and does not necessarily represent the product’s current condition.
| Site | Rating | Number of Reviews | Date Accessed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rakuten customer reviews (product page) | 4.37 / 5 | 944 | October 29, 2026 |
Breakdown of ratings: 5★ 638 / 4★ 161 / 3★ 52 / 2★ 45 / 1★ 48 (as shown on Rakuten Ichiba; accessed October 29, 2026)
What we read: the first 60 reviews in Rakuten’s default order (posted November 2025 to July 2026, latest July 2026), 30 reviews from the 1★ filter (48 matching; posted December 2021 to December 2025) and 29 reviews from the 2★ filter (45 matching; posted December 2021 to December 2025), 119 in total. We did not read the 52 reviews rated 3★. The 60 in the default order are only 54 rated 5★ and 6 rated 4★, so they lean toward highly rated posts. Because the low ratings were read from the 1★ and 2★ filters, low ratings from the 2026 season are not included.
The counts below are approximate figures from reading the text, and exclude posts only about delivery or shop service. The base is the 60 in the default order for the praised points, and the 59 read from 1★ and 2★ for the noted points.

Summary: Is This the One for You?
Why choose it: you want to try 3kg at once, and a “お試し” product that may have scuffs or blemishes is acceptable. If those two are your conditions, this product is a candidate (weak points: the low-rated reviews we read include many posts about damage to the fruit that arrived and differences in taste).
- The amount is 3kg, the sizes are M to 3L and the number of fruits is left to the shop. Reviews report that between 13 and 19 fruits arrived (the posters’ own statements)
- The Rakuten rating is 4.37 / 5 (944 reviews). The 60 in the default order are only highly rated posts, and 59 more rated 1★ and 2★ were read separately
- Shipping is around late November to early December (confirmed October 29, 2026), and the delivery date cannot be specified. It is ambient delivery, and the noshi (gift wrapping label) is an uchi-noshi
Other options: if you want about 3kg in a gift box with an estimate of 10 to 15 fruits, there is みさき果樹園 紅まどんな 3kg (Benimadonna citrus, gift box, 10 to 15 fruits); if you want to give a 1.3kg 青秀品 as a gift, there is 岡山果物工房 紅まどんな 1.3kg 青秀品 (Benimadonna citrus, oseibo gift).
