A blended source: Akandana-no-Yu and Yunoue-no-Yu are combined with local valley water, and the certificate samples the mix at the hotel's mixing-tank outlet rather than at a wellhead. The result is a sodium-calcium bicarbonate-chloride water — the juso-sen style, soft on the skin — with a salt-tinged finish and a neutral pH that keeps it undemanding. It runs colorless and clear but carries a faint carbonic tang and a whisper of hydrogen sulfide, the fingerprint of 187 mg/kg of free CO₂ still dissolved in it. Metasilicic acid at 177.8 mg/kg puts it squarely in Japan's beauty-water family, leaving the kind of silica film that makes skin feel noticeably smoother afterwards.
