If those two are your conditions, this thank-you gift fits: it comes with sauce 20g × 3 and rehōru, and is about 4 to 5 servings according to the shop’s labeling (weak points: noshi cannot be added, and you cannot specify the delivery date).
- Rated 4.4/5 on Rakuten (1,271 reviews). Among the 60 reviews in the default order that we read, many mentioned the convenience of the sauce and rehōru (about 18) and tenderness (about 15)
- Because it arrives in 2 to 4 blocks, you can change how many blocks you thaw to suit the number of people at the gathering. There were also 4 reviews saying they used it for New Year, the year-end and New Year holidays, or Christmas
- The listing says it ships about 10 days after the order. There are two date labels, about 2 months and 180 days from production, and one review says that a delivery received in October had a date in November
Other options: if the conditions do not fit, for example if you want to send it as a gift with noshi, you can also choose regular mail-order products that are not furusato nozei from the list of roast beef articles.
