Research notes

Second-highest price (JPY 9,000) in the set after Ato Mukashi (JPY 12,000), and one of only two products with a 3-month expiration date (the other being Ato Mukashi) versus 2 months for the rest - suggests these two may be higher/different grade or freshness handling, though page does not explicitly state a reason. No cultivar or specific farm disclosed.
