Research notes

Sale/regular pricing ($22.00/$48.00) is shown without being clearly tied to one specific size among the five offered — ambiguous which variant the listed price corresponds to. Note: the source producer founding year for Rishouen is given as 1947 here, while other Rishouen products (Komiya, Kyōtanabe Gokou) on the same brand also cite 1947; consistent across pages. No cultivar name, certifications, ingredients, shelf life, or packaging details disclosed on this page.
