Yeah it is rather confusing, and hopefully someone can correct me if I am way off base. But I believe Ippodo labels their 20 gram cans according to one of Japans tea schools guidelines, and their 40 gram cans according to another one of the Japanese tea school guidelines. I may be making this next part up but I thought I read something that supported this, but they choose those sizes according to the amount of tea per container each tea school prefers for their matcha i.e. 20g or 40g, and then named accordingly.
