A sodium-led bicarbonate-chloride spring, with the bicarbonate side giving a soft, skin-smoothing feel and the chloride sub-type adding a faintly salty finish. Weakly alkaline at pH 8.0 at the source, it falls within Japan's beauty-water family — pleasantly slippery without sharpness. Moderate mineralization of about 1.7 g/kg means real body to the water while keeping it gentle on the skin.
