The refs given here all lack independence from the subject. It looks like the only mentions of this company and its tea are with relation to it being marketed in association with some Studio Ghibli productions. Those mentions do not discuss the company in any depth. Could not find enough anywhere to justify an article at this point. A loose noose (talk) 05:31, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• There is quite a bit of info on this company available in Japanese, which I believe would be sufficient for this to pass WP:NCORP. The company's summary is here, stating that there are about 1300 employees. That makes it several times larger than, say, Argo Tea. There are a lot of hits that are not PR that come up in a Google News search, including hits from Nikkei Shimbun, SankeiBiz, Nikkei Style, several articles on collaboration with Nestlé, puff pieces in Vogue, Sankei Shimbun and Mainichi Shimbun.... Stopped looking after the first few pages. Dekimasuよ! 16:44, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I cannot find references that meet the criteria for notability either, topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 11:51, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
