Research notes
IMPORTANT NAMING NOTE: the product's kanji is 氷抹茶液緑, and the official furigana (phonetic reading) provided on the page is 'suzumidori', not 'ryoryoku'. The requested product name 'Hyo-Matcha Ryoryoku' appears to be an alternate on'yomi (Sino-Japanese) reading of the same kanji (氷=Hyo, 抹茶=Matcha, 液緑=Ryoryoku) rather than the reading the retailer itself displays. This is flagged as a contradiction/naming discrepancy rather than resolved one way or the other. No English-language retail listing for this product was located to cross-check the name.
