Copied from the official site as of the date checked. The label is shown in Japanese as printed; tap an ingredient to see its English name and role. The links in the table below lead to our Ingredients A–Z and food additive database. The ingredient list, storage method and so on were transcribed from the image of the back label on the product page of the official online shop of Kouki Shoko (linked from the Wei-Pa official site as the official online shop of Kouki Shoko Co., Ltd.). The text of the product page does not give the ingredient list, and no nutrition facts were found on the official site. Of the allergens, gelatin and soybean do not appear by name in the ingredient list, so the label does not tell you which ingredient contains them. The label’s precautions say to keep the can in the refrigerator after opening, and to use a sturdy metal fork or spoon to take out the contents.
Ingredients, one by one
| On the label | Type | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 食塩（国内製造）salt | Ingredient | Saltiness | Ingredients are listed in order of weight, so salt is the largest. |
| 動植物油脂（牛脂、豚脂、なたね油、ごま油）animal and vegetable fats and oils (beef tallow, lard, rapeseed oil, sesame oil) | Ingredient | Richness | “動植物油脂” (animal and vegetable fats and oils) is a way of writing animal fats and vegetable oils together, with the contents given in parentheses. Beef tallow and lard are animal fats that solidify at room temperature. They can be read as part of the source of the beef, pork and sesame in the allergen labeling. |
| 砂糖sugar | Ingredient | Sweetness | — |
| 乳糖lactose | Ingredient | Bulk, balancing the flavor | A sugar found in milk. It can be read as the “乳成分” (milk ingredients) in the allergen labeling. |
| 小麦粉wheat flour | Ingredient | Bulk, binding | One source of the wheat in the allergen labeling. |
| たん白加水分解物hydrolyzed protein | Ingredient | Umami | Protein from soybeans, wheat and so on, broken down into amino acids. It is treated as a food, not a food additive. The label does not say which protein it is. |
| 肉エキスパウダー（ポーク、チキン）meat extract powder (pork, chicken) | Ingredient | Meaty umami | Pork and chicken extracts made into a powder. It can be read as the source of the pork and chicken in the allergen labeling. |

| 野菜パウダーvegetable powder | Ingredient | Vegetable flavor and umami | Vegetables made into a powder. The label does not say which vegetables. |

Under the labeling rules, umami additives may be written with the group name “調味料” (seasoning), and “（アミノ酸等）” (amino acids, etc.) is added when amino acids are the largest part. The label does not tell you what is included or how many kinds. |

Good points and concerns
+Good points
- 10 ingredients, and the only food additive is “調味料（アミノ酸等）” (seasoning (amino acids, etc.)), written with a group name
- The animal and vegetable fats and oils and the meat extract powder have their contents written in parentheses (beef tallow, lard, rapeseed oil, sesame oil; pork, chicken)
- The label gives the names and addresses of the seller (Kouki Shoko) and the factory (Ariake Japan)
−Concerns
- The largest ingredient is salt. No nutrition facts were found on the official site, so the salt equivalent is unknown
- “調味料（アミノ酸等）” (seasoning (amino acids, etc.)) is a group name, so the label does not tell you what is included
- 8 allergens are listed. The label does not tell you which ingredients contain gelatin and soybean
