Pity they don't seem to have the poems on the 525ml bottles - although I can't read Japanese I used to like looking at the ages of those who wrote them.

when sapooro and asahi tried to introduce their (IMO better, too) green teas ito-en undercut them on price and they disappeared
then ito-en jacked their 2L bottles to $7.60 or so and nearly never go on sale (who buys these at this price??????? it's just tea and they're 120-300 Y in Japan!)
and then, Ito-En starts importing its tea from Taiwan, not Japan - and still charges the huge premium.
Still I'm glad they offer their 525ml bottles at mainstream retailers here, those aren't too bad at $2.50 or so. I really like the dark strong version, too. Chugging the 2L bottle now actually!

Just gave my Super Famicom an overhaul.
Came without rubber pads on the bottom, so I pinched some from a SNES I have.
Desoldered the RF module.
Cut the composite video trace on pin 9 of the AV port and connected pin 3 to it, thus it is now using c-sync for sync.
Installed a new 7805 and added a 220uF 6.3V cap to filter the 5V power it produces, which tones down the vertical line a little.
All good, equipped for another 25 years of use or so.
