Flagged inconsistencies on the brand's own page
- Product name spelling: requested as 'Koicha Hashitate no Mukashi' but the source page consistently titles it 'Koicha Hashidate no Mukashi' (t vs d). Treated as the same product for this entry, but the discrepancy is noted rather than silently resolved.
- Search-result summary claimed sizes 'ranging from 20g to 200g in cans and boxes,' but the directly fetched product page content only listed pricing for 20g and 40g sizes; larger sizes may exist but were not confirmed in the direct fetch.

- Tasting Notes
- unique spicy and tangy aroma featuring notes of pickles with a hint of savory spices; completely free from bitterness, with raw green notes taking center stage; flavor evolves from a bold, straightforward matcha into a smooth, sweet, almond-like creaminess in the aftertaste; transition clear from full-bodied, verdant tea to a mellower, creamier afterfeel in both usucha and koicha preparations

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.
