Research notes
Per the brand's own 'Same Matcha, Different Names: The Tradition of Chamei' blog post (referenced in search results, not the product page itself), Hiroha no Shiro is claimed to be one of four differently-named matchas that are actually the identical tea product sold at the same price point (JPY 2,732), differentiated only by tea-ceremony name (chamei) tradition. This is a notable disclosure suggesting overlap with other same-priced products in this database (e.g., Seikan no Shiro and Senun no Shiro are also priced at JPY 2,732). Cultivar/farm/harvest date not disclosed.
