- Same full-catalog and Matcha-for-Cooking-category check as for Ayame; 'Byakuren' does not appear anywhere on marukyu-koyamaen.co.jp/english/shop.
- Third Party Description Unverified
- { "positioning": "Food-processing matcha, designed specifically for use in confectionery and beverages (per Nara Tea Co, an authorized retailer)", "price_seen": "$45.00 (marked as 31% off a $65.00 regular price) for a 100g bag, on Nara Tea Co's site - this is a reseller price, not an official Marukyu Koyamaen JPY price", "flavor_notes": "Vibrant green color, well-balanced flavor, smooth taste, described as suited to matcha lattes; other resellers (Luna Matcha, Japaneseselect, Serendipity Australia) similarly market it as a baking/dessert/culinary matcha", "storage_note_from_reseller": "Recommend refrigeration or freezing after opening; shelf life approximately 6-7 months from production" }
Research notes
NOT FOUND on the official Marukyu Koyamaen English shop. All data here is sourced from third-party retailers and is explicitly unverified against the brand's own site. Reseller pages disagree on stock status (Nara Tea Co page showed both 'In Stock' and 'Unavailable' at different points on the same page, per the fetch) - flagged below as a contradiction within that third-party source.
