Research notes

Source URL slug ('...awarded-matcha') differs from the human-readable title ('Prize-Winning Matcha') but both clearly refer to the same product distinct from the 'Award-Winning' (First Prize) item. The page does not specify the exact prize/rank (e.g., second prize, honorable mention) beyond generic 'award'/'prize' language - same tea gardens and cultivar (Uji and Kumiyama, Asahi) as the Award-Winning product, differing mainly in price and presumed prize rank.
