Idk, Japanese onsen baths are really, really hot. Maybe not literally boiling, but I felt like it was. And hot baths for sore muscles wouldn’t be a whole thing if it wasn’t producing some kind of tenderizing effect.
You’re correct, this is why you should avoid going to ramen shops near onsens. They use the people broth from the onsens in their ramen to add a mushroomy, cheesy, porky flavor.
oh no you fucking don’t.
BATHING DOES NOT THERMALLY DENATURE THE PROTEINS IN YOUR MUSCULAR TISSUE AND FUCKING KILL YOU.
Furthermore there is no recipe for broth that involves SOAP nor do you bathe in LITERALLY BOILING WATER.
Boiling is NOT bathing and I will FIGHT anyone who tries to argue otherwise.
I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL
FUCK IT, I WILL KILL ON THIS HILL
