Research notes
This product required the most cross-referencing: ujichamatcha.com had price/size/tasting info but no certification body or ingredients; tsukimixjapan.com supplied JAS/EU Organic certification, ingredients, shelf-life guidance, and the JR Kyushu/Chef Narisawa endorsement. A matchajp.net listing for this product was found via Google search (title: 'Organic Matcha green tea powder ceremonial grade Hoshino-Seichaen 40g') but the URL returned HTTP 404 on fetch, and matchajp's current Hoshinoen collection page does not show an organic SKU -- likely discontinued/delisted there. A related j-j-market.com listing 301-redirected to wakokoro-tea.com, but the redirected page no longer contained this product either.
