Research notes
Fetched the official Fukujuen Global Online Shop 20g product page. Page is thinner on brewing detail than several sibling matcha products (e.g. Kotobuki no Shiro, Stone-Milled line), which spell out exact usucha/koicha gram and ml ratios — this page instead just references an external brewing guide without repeating the numbers.
