Tochigi Prefecture's local sake "Tsuji Zenbei" 🍶.
We found this sake at a liquor store in Lake Chuzenji.
It is a little heavy and good for this middle stage of drinking.
The next morning, I went to the hot spring behind the inn because I was told that there was a place where hot water gushed out.
The hot water was like a hell valley, as it is called "Yumoto" in Japanese.
The spring water is drawn directly from here to each inn, so the quality of the spring water was excellent.
There is a nice spot nearby where you can take a footbath, but it's so hot that it's crazy ♨️
It takes 30 minutes to get used to it...
Still, 10 seconds is my limit and my knees are red 🦵.
Don't forget to buy some salted yokan (sweet bean jelly) as a souvenir at the Japanese sweets shop next door...

Hi Hiro 😃.
I see you went to Oku-Nikko 🤗It's close but I haven't been there for a while 😅I didn't know there was such a hot footbath ♨️ 😆Thank you for drinking Tochigi sake 🍶 as well 😊.
Is that Tsuruya's salted yokan?

Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
We had a great time in Oku-Nikko!
It was so hot that I thought it might have been a footbath with the spring water still in it. ♨️
I'm not sure if it's the same as the one you're looking for, but I'm sure you'll find it!
It's delicious with just the right amount of saltiness.
