Research notes
Product page fetched directly showed JPY pricing (¥4,860) with no visible USD price; an independent web-search summary (not from the direct page fetch) cited $44.00 for this product, which does not match the JPY figure fetched from the live page. Page includes a detailed FAQ/brewing/subscription/shipping structure common to all Zenkyu single-product pages. No awards or ingredient list (beyond '100% matcha green tea powder' implied by blend description) were separately itemized on this page beyond what's captured above.
