From the intro of the page linked:

>必ずしもお目当ての刀剣を鍛刀できることを保証するものではありません.

It says right there that you aren't guaranteed to get the specific sword you're trying for. This game is RNG based. There are no specific recepies for specific toudan, only for raising the chances of getting certain TYPES of swords. (i.e., you can try an uchigatana recipe and get a tanto. It's not guaranteed.)

This page is a list of reports for which recipes people used, whether or not they used an ema, and which sword they were using as the captain and his level, not what is required.
