Suitable as a Gift?
On the product page, we could not confirm whether noshi, wrapping, or message cards are available. The end of the product description lists use-case words such as 内祝 (return gift, uchi-iwai) and お歳暮 (oseibo (year-end gift)), but we could not find any statement indicating support for noshi or similar services (Source: Rakuten Ichiba product page, viewed October 3, 2026). If you are considering it as a gift, checking the following three points with the shop before purchasing will help avoid misunderstandings.
- Whether noshi, wrapping, and message cards are available (not stated on the product page)
- Since it arrives by frozen delivery, whether you can specify a date and time when the recipient can receive it
- Whether to tell the recipient the origin (Russia or the United States)
Among the 68 reviews we read (which do not necessarily reflect the current state of the product), about 10 of the 57 in the default sort order said they used it as a year-end gift or a gift for relatives. On the other hand, 1 post said the reviewer realized after sending it to relatives that the origin was not Hokkaido, and 1 post said the individual packages arrived damaged and the reviewer felt it could not be given as a gift (Source: Rakuten customer reviews, viewed October 3, 2026).

What Reviewers Note
Origin differed from expectations
5 posts in total (about 4 from the past 2 years), the 2 ★1 posts plus 3 in the default sort order, said they ordered thinking it was from Hokkaido but received salmon from Russia, or that pH adjuster was used.
