Research notes
Notable distinction from other SKUs: sourcing is attributed to a 'partner' (Miyako) working with local Yame producers rather than a single named farmer like Mr. Masuda, Mr. Sakamoto, or Mr. Takada used on other product pages. Same Okumidori cultivar as Matcha Kyoto Okumidori Chanoka and part of the Masudaen blend, but different region (Yame, Fukuoka vs. Uji/Kyoto vs. Shizuoka).
