The “wakeari” (a Japanese shopping label for items sold with a stated reason) Ham & Sausage Set (訳あり ハム・ソーセージセット) sold on Rakuten Ichiba by 腸詰屋 蓼科店 in Chino City, Nagano Prefecture, is an assortment of ham and sausage items that are close to their best-before date, packed as 5 kinds with a guaranteed total of at least 1 kg. The page says the ingredients are basically domestic, with some imported ingredients such as those from Germany also used. The shop chooses the contents at random from the 47 kinds shown in the product image, so what arrives is not fixed, and the product page does not state how many servings it makes, the temperature at shipping, or whether heating is needed. We organized what the Rakuten Ichiba product page and reviews say into five points: amount, shelf life, ingredient labeling, suitability as a gift, and reviews. The three features we could confirm are that 5 kinds close to their best-before date are packed with a guarantee of at least 1 kg, that you can write likes and dislikes in the remarks field, and that the reason for the “wakeari” label is written on the product page.
At a Glance
Key points
- 5 kinds close to their best-before date, packed with a guarantee of at least 1 kg in total. The page describes 5 packs of about 100 to 400 g each (a weak point: the shop packs the contents at random, so you cannot choose what arrives)
- If you write likes and dislikes in the remarks field, the shop may accommodate them to some extent, according to the page. The contents are packed from the 47 kinds in the product image (ham, sausage, bacon, salami, meatloaf and more)
- The reason for the “wakeari” label is written on the product page. The page says the set contains irregularly shaped items and items close to their best-before date, packed in simple packaging

Watch out for
- The best-before guarantee is a minimum of 3 days from arrival. Gift packaging, noshi, wrapping and message cards are not supported, and the shop does not recommend giving this as a gift to anyone other than people close to you
- We did not find on the product page how many servings it makes, the temperature at shipping (chilled or frozen), or whether heating is needed

Compared with 6 Ham and Sausage Items
Among the 6 ham and sausage items featured on Ochinity (as of October 15, 2026). Each value is as of the date its own article was researched and may differ from the current listing. Ratings are as shown on Rakuten, and the fewer the reviews, the more easily the figure moves. The rows follow the Japanese gojūon (syllabary) order of the product names, with this article first.
| Product | Total amount | Delivery temperature | Rakuten rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wakeari Ham & Sausage Set (腸詰屋蓼科店)This article, 5 random kinds | at least 1 kg(guaranteed) | Not confirmed | 4.891,029 reviews |

| 代々木フードマート Smoked Turkey Legs | 1,100 g | Frozen | 4.1591 reviews |
You can go to each product’s article from its name. The total amount is the amount stated in each article, and the kinds of items and the number of pieces differ among all 6. This product’s “at least 1 kg” is the shop’s guaranteed value.
- The Rakuten rating of 4.89 is the highest figure among the 6 ham and sausage items featured on Ochinity (as of October 15, 2026). The review count is 1,029, and the counts range widely from 22 to 2,538, so the figures alone are hard to compare (a weak point: the review count is lower than the 2,538 of one item)
- Delivery temperature is not confirmed for this product and the Andalusian Pork item, so chilled versus frozen cannot be compared across all 6. The total amount ranges from 100 g to 1,100 g, and this product’s “at least 1 kg” is the shop’s guaranteed value
