1. Does the packaging say 'Made in Japan'?

2. Check the batch code.
TAIYOYUDEN 2x DVD-R (batch code: GBxxxxxx)
TYG01 4x DVD-R (batch code: GDxxxxxx)
TYG02 8x DVD-R (batch code: GGxxxxxx)
TYG03 16x DVD-R (batch code: GHxxxxxx)
TYG11 8x DVD-R DL (batch code: BGxxxxxx)
YUDEN000 T01 4x DVD+R (batch code: TCxxxxxx or TSxxxxxx)
YUDEN000 T02 8x DVD+R (batch code: TGxxxxxx)
YUDEN000 T03 16x DVD+R (batch code: THxxxxxx)

Generally, TY DVD discs have three codes, a four-digit number, a eight-character batch code (which are both located in the outer hub area) and another code in the transparent hub.
Taiyo Yuden CD media often has a frosted hub and two codes, a long one printed right into the hub and a short one in the dye area (usually 80 PGxxxx or 74 PGxxxx). If the codes in the transparent hub are double printed/overprinted, shorter than normal or do not exist at all, you might have value line media.

3. Are they darker green? Taiyo Yuden use a cyanine dye and so the data side of the disc will look a darker green than the discs of other manufacturers.

These are not fool-proof methods of identifying genuine Taiyo Yuden, it is always best to buy from a reputable source.
