Research notes
The page's own title renders as '"Uji Fudo" (Terroir of Uji) Uji of Uji' - an apparent duplication/translation artifact in the trailing 'Uji of Uji' (likely meant to read something like 'the heart of Uji'), retained verbatim as it appeared. Identically priced (¥27,000) to the Reiwa 7 Award-Winning (First Prize) Matcha, both 30g single-cultivar Asahi teas with the same shading period, though sourced from different named gardens (Terakawa vs. Uji/Kumiyama) - no certifications, awards, or review ratings were disclosed on this page.
