What We Confirmed
- Quantity and a guideline for the number of servings

| 4. Suitable as a Gift | The page shows that noshi and message cards are supported (the page says to state your request in the order notes field). The types of noshi inscription are not confirmed. The page says items are packed in simple packaging, and we found no mention of a gift box | Gift options field, product description and product description images on the product page |
| 5. Review Trends | Rakuten Ichiba’s rating is 4.59 out of 5 (1,056 reviews). We read the first 59 reviews in Rakuten’s default sort order (posted February 2006 to September 2026; the latest is September 23, 2026), plus all 9 one-star and all 10 two-star reviews (78 in total). The trends below are for the reviews we read and may not reflect the product’s current state. Many comments praise the taste of the hamburg steak and the ease of eating it simply by heating or pan-frying, while some say the amount is small. Posts from 2020 and earlier include comments on sets that differ from the current one | Rakuten customer reviews (viewed October 6, 2026) |
Suitable as a Gift?
The gift options field on the product page shows that noshi and message cards are supportedSource: gift options field on the product page (viewed October 6, 2026). The product description says to state your request in the order notes field or similar if you want noshi or a message cardSource: product page description. On the other hand, we found no list of noshi inscription types (such as 御歳暮 year-end gift or 内祝 return gift), so this is Not confirmed. We also could not confirm any mention of gift wrapping.
As for packaging, an image in the product description states that items are packed in simple packagingSource: text in a product description image (the seller’s own claim). We found no mention of a gift box. The description text lists a number of gift occasions, but that alone does not show support for each occasion, so this article does not say that it is supported.
If you are considering it as a gift, checking the following points can help avoid misunderstandings.
- For the type of noshi inscription, please consult the shop individually in the order notes field
- Specifying a delivery date: the Yahoo! Shopping product page shows “お届け日指定可” (delivery date can be specified). On the Rakuten Ichiba product page this is Not confirmed
- Because it arrives frozen, whether the recipient can receive it at that date and time, and whether they have freezer space
On the review site, there are also posts from people who sent it as a year-end gift (御歳暮), or sent it to a family member living alone as a care package (Source: Rakuten customer reviews, viewed October 6, 2026).
