Where ONSENSUI99 Is Sourced and How Its Quality Is Managed: Why You Can Choose It with Confidence

ONSENSUI99 natural alkaline hot spring water from Tarumizu Kagoshima Japan hardness 1.7 pH9.9

Since you drink water every day,

many of you may be concerned about

“where the water is sourced”

and “how its quality is managed.”

ONSENSUI99 is

natural alkaline hot spring water sourced from approximately 750m underground in Tarumizu City, Kagoshima Prefecture.

We deliver water nurtured by rich nature,

under quality control cultivated over many years,

to everyone.

This time,

we will introduce ONSENSUI99's commitment to its water source and quality control.


ONSENSUI99's Water Source: Tarumizu City, Kagoshima Prefecture

ONSENSUI99's water source is

Tarumizu City, Kagoshima Prefecture.

Tarumizu City is

located along Kinko Bay with a view of Sakurajima and is an area surrounded by rich nature.

Underground,

there is a volcanic ash layer

called the Shirasu Plateau.

This Shirasu Plateau is

a geological layer formed by volcanic activity around Sakurajima,

and it has played a role in naturally filtering rainwater over many years.

The accumulation of natural blessings

leads to the current ONSENSUI99.

Natural Alkaline Hot Spring Water Sourced from Approximately 750m Underground

ONSENSUI99 is

natural alkaline hot spring water that springs from approximately 750m underground.

Water naturally filtered over many years becomes

ultra-soft water with a very low hardness of 1.7mg/L.

It is also

alkaline with a pH of 9.5-9.9,

characterized by a mellow taste.

Therefore,

it is used for various purposes, such as:
・Daily drinking water
・Cooking rice
・Green tea
・Coffee
・Cooking

Many people find it easy to drink,

even at room temperature, with little distinct taste.


Quality Control Supporting Japanese Quality

At ONSENSUI99,

we perform daily quality control to ensure

that the water nurtured by nature is delivered

with as much peace of mind as possible.

Our manufacturing plant has acquired

ISO22000,

an international standard,

and implements management based on a food safety management system.

In addition,

we strive to maintain stable quality by confirming each manufacturing process

and conducting regular quality inspections.

Because it is water you drink every day,

we value being able to choose it with peace of mind.


Daily Efforts for Quality

Quality control is

not something special,

but a daily accumulation.

At ONSENSUI99,

we perform daily quality checks within the factory,

and continue meticulous checks

from manufacturing to shipment.

In addition,

we also utilize inspections by third-party organizations

to objectively confirm quality.

Such daily accumulation may be one of the reasons

why we have been loved by so many customers for so long.


Soft Water Culture Preferred by Japanese People

In Japan,

soft water has been familiar for a long time.

Soft water is water with low mineral content, such as calcium and magnesium.

Generally, it is said to have:
・A soft mouthfeel
・Little distinct taste
・Good compatibility with Japanese cuisine
・Easy to drink every day

Japanese food culture,

including green tea,

dashi (broth),

and rice,

has developed alongside soft water.

Therefore,

Japanese people naturally

tend to prefer water with a gentle taste.
