Research notes
This item is bag-packaged only on the official site (no box/can variant found in the maccha category listing). No English-language retailer listing (ujichamatcha.com, matchalavie.com, japanesetaste.com) was found carrying this specific product, so no cross-check/second source was available for tasting notes.
