THE RECORD

identity

IKEA describes eating the meatballs with a rich cream sauce and tart lingonberry jam, giving the dish a savory-and-fruity contrast. The restaurant also lists four-ball sides and a children’s meal with jelly; those are separate serving choices within this meatball family. [1] [2]

THE RECORD

history

IKEA’s Japanese account dates its original meatballs to 1985 and connects their Japanese restaurant history to the 2006 opening of the store now called Tokyo-Bay. A contemporary GIGAZINE visit to Kobe’s Port Island store in April 2008 records five-, ten- and fifteen-ball choices. That older serving range provides a useful comparison with today’s Tokyo-Bay listing, without establishing when each portion changed. [3] [4]

THE RECORD

nutrition

The table is per 100 grams, with no assembled plate weight. Apple, beef, egg, milk, pork and wheat are declared. Factory-handled allergens are separate; kitchen cross-contact is possible, and pistachio and macadamia status is unconfirmed. [1]

THE RECORD

prices

The table distinguishes the eight-ball meal, four-ball side and children’s meal with jelly. Children must be twelve or under; their ball count is unverified. The October Tokyo-Bay listing and July national announcement give different amounts without an exact price-change date. [2] [3]

THE RECORD

distinctions

The 2008 Kobe report is a diner’s view of an earlier Japanese serving, not a current taste test: the reviewer was restrained about its texture and flavor. Current Tokyo-Bay eight-ball, four-ball and child options also should not share a presumed portion weight. The photograph here was taken in Canada and shows different accompaniments; it illustrates the food family rather than documenting a Japanese plate. [4] [2] [5]
