Research notes
This is the highest-priced product in the 12-item set (JPY 12,000 vs JPY 1,500-9,000 for others), suggesting a premium/rare grade, though the page does not explicitly label it with a numeric grade or cultivar name. Shelf life (3 months) differs from most other products in this set (2 months) - noted as a distinguishing fact rather than a same-page contradiction.
