Research notes

Page fetched directly and successfully, but all sizes were shown as Sold Out at time of fetch, so current live pricing for 100g/1lb could not be confirmed (only the 30g sale price of $16.95 was visible). The characterization of Oishi as positioned 'between ceremonial and culinary grades' is this agent's/the summarizing tool's interpretive framing based on the page's comparative language about flavor strength versus ceremonial matcha — it is not a verbatim grade label used on the page itself, so it should be treated as an inference rather than a disclosed fact.
