This is a frozen fugu (pufferfish) hot pot set sold on Rakuten Ichiba under the shop name “下関 ふぐ老舗問屋 山西水産” by 山西水産株式会社 of Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture. It includes 300g of fugu fillet pieces for the hot pot, 150g of fugu pieces for shabu-shabu and 10 fugu tsumire (minced fish balls), plus ponzu (citrus soy sauce) and momiji-oroshi (grated daikon with chili), and the shop gives the set as 3–4 servings. The product description says it uses wild fugu (mafugu from Yamaguchi Prefecture, or gomafugu from Yamaguchi or Ishikawa Prefecture) and tells buyers to heat it before eating. This is the only size available. We organized the contents, shelf life, ingredient labeling, gifting and reviews from the Rakuten product page, the explanatory images, the shop information and the reviews. Its features are that three ways to eat it (hot pot, shabu-shabu and tsumire) come together in one set and that it arrives frozen.

Watch out for
- Some reviews say the hot pot fillet pieces were tough or dry (about 6 of the 73 we read; see the reviews section)
- The search keywords in the product page’s product name include とらふぐ (torafugu), but the name field says “ふぐ切り身（標準和名：真ふぐ）” (fugu fillet pieces (standard name: mafugu)), and the product description says the wild fugu is mafugu or gomafugu. We found no torafugu in the content labeling
- We found no statement on the product page or explanatory images that the toxic parts of this product have been removed, and no labeling of qualifications or notifications for handling or processing fugu. Fugu has parts that contain a powerful poison. Before you cook it, ask the shop how the toxic parts have been removed, and follow the shop’s instructions.
- We found no consolidated ingredient and allergen labeling on the Rakuten product page (the Amazon product page for the same 3–4 servings lists squid, egg, soybeans and wheat)

Summary: Is This the One for You?
Why choose it: You want a hot pot, shabu-shabu and tsumire together in one set, and you want enough for 3–4 people around the table. If both of those are your conditions, this is the one.

- The weak points are reviews saying the hot pot fillet pieces were tough or dry (about 6 of the 73 we read) and reviews saying the soup was thin (about 5).
