This is a frozen set of small hot pots made by 株式会社小樽海洋水産 of Otaru City, Hokkaido, and sold on Rakuten Ichiba by “高級 海鮮 小樽高島漁港まつ匠”, using ingredients such as chum salmon, red snow crab and sweet shrimp from Hokkaido. It contains one 280g pot each of Ishikari nabe (石狩鍋, salmon hot pot), kani nabe (かに鍋, crab hot pot), tsumire nabe (つみれ鍋, fish ball hot pot) and amaebi-jiru (甘えび汁, sweet shrimp soup). The shop says to eat it after heating it in the microwave from frozen. We organized what the product page and reviews say into 5 points: contents, shelf life, ingredients and allergen labeling, ease of use as a gift, and reviews. The 3 features we could confirm on the product page are that you can taste and compare 4 flavors, 1 pot each; that you just heat it in the microwave; and that noshi (gift wrapping label) and gift wrapping are available.

Compared with 11 Similar Hot Pot Sets
These are the 11 hot pot sets featured on Ochinity (as of October 29, 2026). Furusato nozei thank-you gifts are excluded. Each value is as of the date its own article was researched and may differ from the current listing. Because products of different forms are listed, such as hot pots with soup, sashimi and kiritanpo, the amounts cannot be compared in grams. Some columns mix counts and grams, so the size of the numbers cannot be compared. The ratings are as shown on Rakuten on each article’s viewing date (September 28 to October 29, 2026); the fewer the reviews, the more easily the figure moves. The table is ordered by product name in Japanese syllabary (gojūon) order.
