Flagged inconsistencies on the brand's own page
- The directly fetched page displayed price as ¥22,800 with no per-size USD breakdown, while an earlier WebSearch summary of the same product line cited USD pricing ("available in 40g, 100g, and 200g bags, with prices starting from $63.00 for the 40g size"). The currency mismatch (JPY vs USD) could not be reconciled — it may be a locale/session artifact of how the page was rendered for this fetch rather than a genuine site inconsistency, but is reported as observed rather than converted or guessed.

- Tasting Notes
- Deep green color with mellow umami and subtle astringency; suitable for both usucha (thin tea) and koicha (thick tea); positioned as having a "slightly lighter character" than Kuro, yet "retains more depth and umami than Shiro" — i.e., the middle tier of the three-product stone-milled line

Research notes
Middle tier of the three-product stone-milled line (Shiro/Syu/Kuro), all sharing the same brewing template and bag dimensions. This was the only one of the nine products where the direct WebFetch returned pricing in Japanese yen rather than US dollars.
