What Reviewers Praise
You can try various flavors a little at a time (about 30 of 59)
About 30 of the 59 reviews in the default order said they could try the 5 kinds day by day, or that family members could share out the flavors they liked. Some also wrote that, in a small household, a big bag cannot be used up, so having a small amount in each packet is convenient.
Easy to use for rice balls and packed lunches (about 22)
About 22 of the 59 reviews in the default order said they mixed it into rice to make rice balls or sprinkled it on the rice in packed lunches. Some also mentioned using it in a Japanese rolled omelet (as described by the reviewer).
Used as a small gift or for visiting (about 6)
About 6 of the 59 reviews in the default order said they used it as a gift when visiting a friend or in a parcel to their parents, or that the wrapping was careful. This includes mentions that it arrived with a noshi attached.

What Reviewers Note
The amount per packet is small (about 13 of the 23 rated 1★ or 2★)
About 13 of the 23 reviews rated 1★ or 2★ (about 10 of them posted in October 2024 or later) said each packet held less than expected, or only enough for about 2 rice balls. Some also said the amount felt small for a gift. On the other hand, among the 59 reviews in the default order, some wrote favorably that the small amount means it can be used up.
How to check: the amount per packet and the guide to the number of rice bowls are in the “Amount” row of “Basic Information” in this article.
Short best-before date, or different by packet (4)
4 of the 23 reviews rated 1★ or 2★ said the best-before date was about 1 month on arrival, that it differed by packet between about 1 month and about 3 months, or that one packet had no date printed. Among the 59 reviews in the default order, 2 also said the best-before date was shorter than expected.
How to check: the storage method we could confirm on the product page and whether a best-before date is stated are in the “Storage Method” and “Best-Before Date” rows of “Basic Information” in this article.
Hard to get out of the packet (3)
3 of the 17 reviews rated 2★ said the contents stuck to the packet and were hard to get out.

Summary: Is This the One for You?
Why choose it: if you want to try various flavors a little at a time and prefer an amount you can use up one packet at a time, this product, 5 kinds divided into 20 g packets, is a candidate (a weak point: each packet is 20 g, and some reviewers say the amount is small).
- The Rakuten rating is 4.61 / 5 (1,396 reviews). Among the 82 reviews we read, many mentioned being able to try various flavors (about 30 of 59) and being easy to use for rice balls and packed lunches (about 22)
- The bags have zippers, and it is delivered to your mailbox. The product images also say a noshi is attached
Other options: if you want to use plenty of a single flavor, there is Ume Chirimen Soft Furikake with Crunchy Ume (うめ海鮮) (85 g per packet, the value as of that article’s information-as-of date, October 13, 2026).
