Ingredients and Allergen Labeling
We found no ingredient list or allergen labeling in the text or images of the Rakuten Ichiba product page. On the Rakuten Ichiba product page, this item is not confirmed.
For reference, the listing information for a product of the same name on Amazon.co.jp shows the following.
- Toppings: silver salmon (domestic, sake, salt) / kinmedai (domestic, salt) / umeboshi (from Wakayama Prefecture; pickling ingredients: reduced starch syrup, salt, sugars, hydrolyzed protein, mirin, alcohol, seasoning (amino acids, etc.), sweetener (stevia), vitamin B1) / scallop (domestic)
- Ochazuke base (common): dextrin, salt, flavoring ingredients (dried bonito shavings, katsuobushi (dried bonito), mackerel flakes, grilled ago (flying fish) niboshi (dried boiled fish), kelp), nori seaweed, sugar, powdered soy sauce, bonito extract powder, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, mitsuba (Japanese parsley), yeast extract, powdered tea, modified starch
- Allergen labeling: includes salmon, wheat, mackerel, and soy in part
Another field in the same Amazon listing also states “Allergy information: crab, salmon”, which does not match the labeling above. In this article, as the safer approach, we go with the longer list of items and treat the product as possibly containing salmon, wheat, mackerel, and soy as well as crab (both entries are recorded here)Source: Listing information on the Amazon.co.jp product page (accessed October 12, 2026). If you have an allergy, please ask the seller before buying, or check the food information label on the product when it arrives. Please also keep in mind that the listings do not match.

Five Things to Check Before Buying
| What to check | For this product | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Amount and servings | 1 serving each of kinmedai, silver salmon, scallop, and Kishu Nanko-ume plum (4 servings in total). The “1 serving” topping is shown as 26.2g (19.2g for the umeboshi), as estimated values. How many people it serves is not confirmed | Rakuten Ichiba product page (product name and descriptions in images) |
| 2. Storage method and shelf life | Can be stored at room temperature, and the page states that no preservatives are used. The number of days of the best-before date is not confirmed | Rakuten Ichiba product page (product catchphrase and descriptions in images) |
| 3. Ingredient and allergen labeling | Not confirmed on the Rakuten Ichiba product page. Amazon’s listing information shows both a label of salmon, wheat, mackerel, and soy in part and, in another field, “crab, salmon”, and the two do not match. As the safer approach, we treat the product as possibly containing salmon, wheat, mackerel, soy, and crab | Rakuten Ichiba product page / Amazon.co.jp product page |
| 4. Whether it’s suitable as a gift | Noshi stickers (paid) can be selected. A dedicated gift box and a carrier bag are stated to be included. Name printing is not available. Message cards are not confirmed | Rakuten Ichiba product page (specification field and descriptions in images) |
| 5. Trends in reviews | Rakuten Ichiba’s rating is 4.64/5 (219 reviews). We read the first 60 reviews in the “default” order, plus all 9 reviews filtered to 2★ and 3★, 69 in total. Posts range from June 2020 to September 2026, and the latest is September 23, 2026 (the latest among the posts filtered to 2★ and 3★ is from July 2024). This trend may not reflect the product’s current condition. Many reviewers mention the taste of the dashi and toppings, the look of the box, and arrival on the specified date, while some say the toppings are small for the price, that there was no carrier bag, or that the sender’s name was not conveyed to the recipient | Rakuten customer reviews (accessed October 12, 2026) |
Suitable as a Gift?
The specification field on the Rakuten Ichiba product page offers noshi stickers (with the inscriptions 御礼 (thanks), お年賀 (New Year’s greeting), お中元 (ochugen), お歳暮 (oseibo), and 内祝い (uchi-iwai)), and the page states they are paid. The shop’s notice states that inscriptions not among the options and name printing cannot be handled. It also states that, if you want to list the sender’s names jointly, the orderer information must be joint (confirmed October 12, 2026).
For packaging, the page states that a dedicated gift box (shown in an image as about 27 × 19 × 6cm) comes with a carrier bag. For the clear-wrap version, an image explains that it is wrapped in clear wrapping and a dedicated sticker decorated with artificial flowers. For the differences among the birthday, Respect for the Aged Day, and “always thank you” versions, we found no detailed explanation on the product page, so they are not confirmed. Message cards are also not confirmed, as we found no mention of them.
For delivery, the date and time are set at the time of order, and the page states that the delivery address, name, and arrival date cannot be changed after ordering. It also states that cancellation is not possible 30 minutes or more after the order is completed, so it helps to check beforehand which days the recipient can receive it to avoid a mix-up. Among the reviews we read, some posts said it was used as a gift for parents or grandparents and was appreciated (Source: Rakuten customer reviews, accessed October 12, 2026).
