Research notes

Two separate pages (20g, 100g) with consistent description/cultivar/region/producer info but independent review pools. 100g page adds the general Uji-matcha quality claim and producer history detail (est. 1879) not repeated verbatim on 20g page, though both attribute product to Horii Shichimeien.
