Research notes
IMPORTANT NAMING NOTE: The retailer's actual URL and product title spell this product 'Koicha Hashidate no Mukashi' (with a 'd'), not 'Hashitate' as given in the user's product list. This is very likely the same product (an alternate romanization of the Japanese name, referencing Ama-no-Hashidate, one of Japan's 'Three Scenic Views'), but is flagged here since the exact spelling differs from what was requested.
