Official Japanese ingredient statement
Kept in Japanese to avoid changing the meaning of the manufacturer’s label. Match this text against the latest package before feeding.
鶏肉、野菜類(人参、かぼちゃ、いんげん)、豚脂、パン粉、卵黄粉末、でん粉、大豆油、酵母エキス、酵母、卵白粉末、増粘安定剤(加工でん粉)、ミネラル類(Ca、Mg、K、P、Fe)、調味料(有機酸等)、ビタミン類(A、D₃、E、B₁、B₂、B₁₂、葉酸)、緑茶エキス
Purpose, life stage and differences within the range
INABA Itsumo no Kodawari Gohan — Tsukune Dinner with Vegetables, 300 g is frozen meatball food from INABA Petfood. Manufacturing country: Japan. One pack weighs 300 g. JAN: 4901133485596. Official code: DF-45. The matched retail unit is one 300 g bag.
The large 300 g frozen tsukune pouch lists chicken first, followed by carrot, pumpkin and green beans. Pork fat, breadcrumbs, soybean oil and egg-yolk and egg-white powders remain part of the recipe. A 120 g pouch from the range is a different bag quantity; comparing energy per whole bag would compare unequal food weights.
The stated purpose is complete dog food for adult dogs. No unsupported life-stage or age threshold is added. Main-diet purpose and use as a topper or reward are separate feeding questions. Similar branding, flavour or pack shape does not justify copying a different recipe’s analysis, portion or intended age.
It is made in Japan and receives the Japan-made check. Manufacturer location, factory country and each raw ingredient’s origin are different declarations. A Japan-made claim does not prove that every raw material is grown in Japan. The individual official page and matching Rakuten listing were reviewed on 17 September 2026. Match name, capacity, JAN and life stage on the received pack. If the manufacturer updates a declaration, use the current package and updated directions rather than treating this confirmation date as a promise that online listings never change.
Complete ingredients and evidence behind the checks
English reading aid preserving the full official statement’s order and parenthetical groups: chicken, vegetables (carrot, pumpkin, green beans), pork fat, breadcrumbs, egg-yolk powder, starch, soybean oil, yeast extract, yeast, egg-white powder, thickener/stabiliser (modified starch), minerals (Ca, Mg, K, P, Fe), seasonings (organic acids etc.), vitamins (A, D3, E, B1, B2, B12, folic acid), green tea extract.
The original Japanese statement is retained in full on this page. Vitamins, minerals, processing ingredients and pigments are not dropped from the translation to make the food appear simpler. Chicken is first. Chicken, pork fat, breadcrumbs, vegetables, soybean oil and egg powders support the separate chicken, pork, grain, vegetable, legume and egg ingredient checks.
Human-grade is retained as the manufacturer’s package claim concerning food ingredients. It does not establish sale as a human food or compatibility with every dog. A chicken or protein name does not establish a therapeutic or allergy diet.
An additive-free claim must be read with its named scope. Vitamins, minerals, seasonings and modified starch remain part of the full declared formula.
An unchecked category does not certify zero trace presence, freedom from production cross-contact or compatibility with an avoidance requirement. Inclusion ratios and uncertain raw-material sources are not invented. If ingredient restriction matters for a particular dog, show the actual declaration to the manufacturer and veterinary team. The checklist helps organise documented statements for browsing and comparison; it does not approve this recipe for that dog or establish a disease-treatment outcome.
Analysis limits, original energy basis and feeding guide
Protein at least 9.0%, fat at least 9.5%, crude fibre no more than 0.5%, ash no more than 2.5%, moisture no more than 67.0%. Protein and fat are minimum guarantees; fibre, ash and moisture are maximum guarantees. These are not exact average measured contents. A fat minimum cannot be used as a fat ceiling when considering an individual restriction.
Nutrient concentrations absent from the reviewed official analysis are not calculated from ingredient names.
The original declaration is approximately 550 kcal per 300 g pouch. This site converts 550 ÷ 300 × 100 and rounds to approximately 183.3 kcal/100 g. The result is a site calculation, distinct from a directly published manufacturer value per 100 g. Approximate input remains approximate after conversion. A single pouch, 100 g and a multi-pouch bundle are separate quantities.
The individually read back label gives daily main-diet quantities for this food alone:
Body weight 3 kg: 120 g/day (approximately 18 balls).
Body weight 5 kg: 180 g/day (approximately 28 balls).
Body weight 8 kg: 250 g/day (approximately 38 balls).
Body weight 10 kg: 290 g/day (approximately 45 balls).
Split into two meals. For use with dry food, the printed guide says to reduce dry food by approximately 5 g for every 10 g of this product. This is not 5 g per 100 g. It is a manufacturer’s combination guide rather than an exact universal energy substitution for every dry food.
The stated frequency is 2 meals per day. These are manufacturer guides; breed, activity, age, health and environmental conditions can require adjustment. Keep fresh drinking water available. The percentages include moisture. Dry, semi-moist and frozen foods do not contain identical water amounts and cannot be ranked as though they do. A moisture maximum is not an exact measured moisture value from which to invent precise dry-matter results. Original guarantee boundaries, portion basis and energy units should accompany a numerical comparison.
Rakuten purchase unit, actual photographs and storage
The linked seller’s unit is one 300 g bag. Distinguish one product pack from a multi-pack bundle and verify the selected count before ordering. Current price, availability, shipping and best-before period belong to the seller’s latest listing. Each purchase button uses an individually issued product URL copied verbatim from the logged-in Rakuten Affiliate link-only interface for this exact seller. This page includes affiliate advertising, and the site may receive a commission from a purchase. The seller handles ordering, payment, delivery and returns. Check frozen-delivery charges and eligible regions. Listing the product does not establish international shipping or import permission in another country.
The actual matching listing supplied the photographs. Published photos were visually reviewed to exclude store-name and shop-logo overlays. The gallery includes the exact back photographs read for feeding and thawing instructions. The common gallery credits Rakuten Ichiba. Artwork is an identification aid, not a substitute for a current ingredient statement or proof of an unchanged formula.
Keep unopened food frozen at −18°C or below. For microwave thawing, place frozen balls on a plate, cover with wrap and position in the microwave centre. Printed estimates: 5 balls, approximately 40 seconds at 500 W or 30 seconds at 600 W; 10 balls, 1 minute 10 seconds at 500 W or 1 minute at 600 W; 20 balls, 2 minutes at 500 W or 1 minute 50 seconds at 600 W. Adjust while checking because appliance and quantity matter, and cool thoroughly before feeding. The natural-thawing method is overnight in the refrigerator, not prolonged room-temperature storage. Avoid refreezing because quality can change. Transfer leftovers to another container, refrigerate and use promptly. The official unopened shelf life is 18 months; follow the printed date and do not treat that period as an after-thawing storage allowance.
Kibble size does not apply to frozen meatballs; neither small nor medium/large kibble is checked.
This page organises dated manufacturer and seller information rather than prescribing a ration or diagnosing an individual dog. Where disease treatment or veterinary dietary restrictions apply, bring the full ingredient statement, guarantee conditions and actual package to the veterinary team. Before changing foods, check the received product’s purpose, age declaration, handling and ration. Keep product and lot details if you need the maker to clarify a changed label.
How to use this information
Start with the life stage and feeding purpose shown on the package. Compare guaranteed protein and fat together with energy per 100 g; a lower percentage alone does not make one food better for every dog. Product names such as “beef” or “fish” do not necessarily mean a single animal-protein source, so use the ingredient flags and original statement together.
If your dog has an allergy, illness or prescribed diet, do not rely on this comparison page alone. Check the current package and contact the manufacturer or your veterinarian.
