I agree, it's a really cool site, very informative. I wish I could read more japanese. The one you mentioned is Kongouhou. kun and on readings for kanji are not normally mixed - it's one or the other for the whole name.
The meikan chart auger mentioned is a chart supposedly created by the fukiran society showing the ranking of varieties based on rarity or popularity. I wonder who really created it. it seems more like a marketing ploy, which would go against the ideals of the society. they're into education and conservation, rather than economic exploitation.
