Ingredients & Allergen Labeling
As far as we could confirm, we did not find a full ingredient list, additives, or allergen labeling (the standardized food information label) on the product page. This item is not confirmed.
Since crab is the main ingredient of this product, it falls under one of the specified allergens that must be labeled under Japan’s Food Labeling Act. If you have a shellfish (crustacean) allergy, you should not eat this product. If you’d like to check for additives that may be used in processing (such as antioxidants), please contact the shop before purchasing, or check the food information label on the product when it arrives.

| What to Check | For This Product | Source |
|---|---|---|

| 3. Ingredients & Allergen Labeling | Not confirmed (we could not find the standardized food information label). Crab itself is a food that shellfish (crustacean) allergy sufferers must avoid. | We checked the product page but could not find this listed |
| 4. Suitable as a Gift? | Noshi (gift-wrapping label) wrapping, noshi name-writing, a message card, and a custom message are all confirmed available.

Suitable as a Gift?
The product name as displayed on the Rakuten product page carries several gift-related tags, so we can confirm the following four points:
- Noshi (gift-wrapping label) wrapping available
- Noshi name-writing available
- Message card available
- Custom message input available
On the other hand, the type of noshi inscription (such as oseibo (year-end gift), ochugen (mid-year gift), or a return gift for a family celebration (uchi-iwai)) and whether it arrives in a gift box or a simple gift box are not stated in the product description we checked, and are not confirmed. If you’re considering this as a gift, checking the following with the shop before you buy can help avoid mix-ups:
- The type of noshi inscription and whether it’s available
- Whether it comes in a gift box or simple packaging
- Since it’s delivered by frozen courier, whether you can specify a delivery date/time the recipient can receive it
