Arima has 2 kinds of springs. One is reddish brown 'Kinsen' and the other is colorless 'Ginsen'. Kinsen has a high level of iron. When the spring water comes into contact with the air, it oxidizes and becomes brown color. Ginsen is so-called carbonated water, as carbon dioxide is dissolved in it. It feels smooth.
