- Japan ranking listing: Shiroi Koibito/Taiwan product page: 9-piece packThe Japan listing is ISHIYA's Shiroi Koibito (9 pieces / white chocolate), ¥800 (ANA FESTA's official product page, 9 pieces ¥864). momo's "+Buy Japan in Bulk+ In Stock, Hokkaido, Shiroi Koibito Gift Box, White Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, 9/12/18/24-Piece" product page's "Spec" first option is exactly "9-Piece Pack," corresponding to the low end of the promotional price range, NT$290. (Retailer: a momo third-party store (in stock)) This is the same brand as vivian-japan-shopping-item-038 (12-piece) but a different piece count, not a duplicate of the same product; separate entries were created for each with their own Taiwan price. Lead-reviewer note: the entryId contains an underscore, but the catalog ID rule only allows lowercase letters and hyphens, so it was changed to tw-fill-new-chitose-rank-7-23-1010.
