The product page does not state the country of origin of the ingredients or the manufacturer, so these are not confirmed. Based on the Rakuten Ichiba product page and reviews, we have organized the contents, shelf life, gift options and reviews. The features we could confirm on the product page are two: a best-before date of 30 days frozen, and a choice of noshi (gift wrapping label) inscriptions plus a message card.
