Sanko Foods Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, President: Jiro Ueno) will begin offering "Social Gifting," a service that allows customers to send high-quality gifts via SNS or LINE without knowing the recipient's address, through its original brand "5minutes MEATS" Rakuten Ichiba store, starting Thursday, July 2, 2026. As a first step, this service will be available for the popular "Trial 7-Item Set," which allows customers to recreate a professional taste with simple preparation, proposing a new gifting style that aligns with modern lifestyles for the burgeoning Obon and summer gift market. Additionally, to commemorate the launch of this service, we are introducing a new complimentary service offering "16 Types of Original Message Cards" to add a festive touch to gift-giving occasions.

5minutes MEATS Gifts

Background of Introduction: Responding to Changing Gift-Giving Habits and Diverse Modern Needs

In recent years, due to lifestyle changes and increased awareness of personal information protection, there has been a rise in cases where people do not know the address or real name of even close acquaintances. Furthermore, while formal gift-giving traditions like Obon are declining, the demand for "casual gifts" that express daily gratitude smartly via SNS is rapidly expanding. Our company has introduced the social gifting function to meet these modern needs of "wanting to deliver special deliciousness even without knowing the address." We offer a premium gift experience for the new era by combining "authentic taste" achieved through skilled craftsmanship, "convenience" with preparation only requiring hot water immersion or microwave heating, and "smartness" through simply sending a URL.

Features of "5minutes MEATS" and This Service

Commitment to Ingredients and Peace of Mind: We are committed to manufacturing that minimizes the use of chemical seasonings, artificial colors, and preservatives, making it suitable as a gift for those who are health-conscious, such as elderly parents or families with young children.

Recreate Professional Taste in Less Time: Authentic stewed dishes that would normally take several hours are prepared by meat processing professionals to capture the homemade taste and then frozen. You can recreate the taste of a high-class hotel at home simply by heating them in hot water or a microwave.

Easy Social Gifting Function: Simply send the URL issued after purchase via SNS or LINE to the recipient. The recipient enters their own delivery address, allowing for smooth gift-giving without the hassle of asking for personal information.

16 Types of Original Message Cards to Choose From by Occasion (Free): We offer 16 types of design cards for free, which can be chosen according to the occasion, such as Obon, summer gifts, birthdays, or expressions of daily gratitude. You can convey the sender's warm feelings along with the digital convenience.
