Flagged inconsistencies on the brand's own page
- Product is named 'Somidori' (per URL and title, matching the user's supplied product list) but the description text refers to the cultivar as 'Samidori' -- a spelling discrepancy between product name and cultivar name as used on the same page.

Research notes
Product name displayed/URL as 'Somidori' but the cultivar itself is named 'Samidori' in the description text -- likely a brand stylistic spelling choice or a typo on the brand's part (the well-known Uji cultivar is 'Samidori').
