Research notes

Unlike several sibling products (Tenryu, Uji Hikari, Shirakawa), this page does not use the word 'Ceremonial' or otherwise state a grade/tier -- this appears to be a genuine gap in disclosure rather than an error. No certifications or organic claims were found, differentiating it from Tsuyuhikari/Yorokobi/Yugana which do disclose Non-GMO/radiation-free claims.
