Supported passage

Broom reports differing producer views on source water. Shinji Fukuyo describes a Hakushu-water trial at Yamazaki that he judged different, while acknowledging that the team found no mineral-content/flavor correlation.

Attribution and limits

No trial protocol, controls, replication, sensory method or numerical data are supplied. A reported failure to find correlation neither proves water irrelevant nor identifies another cause. Academy application: distinguish source-water identity, measured chemistry, process conditions and blinded sensory results when designing a comparison.
