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.
If you’re adding mushroomy or cheesy flavor to the onsen then you’re skipping an important step: scrubbing your filthy body thoroughly before getting in the tubs.
Pork flavor is normal because that’s what we humans taste like. Do right by the ramen shops and clean yourself before adding your meats to the communal broth.
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

I do clean myself before but how am I supposed to eat microwaved creminis with swiss cheese in a tub without dropping a few pieces
mmm, umami
Best chicken broth is salty. Best baths are salty.
I’ve never killed a chicken by making soup out of it.
I will defend this hill with you, brother! You have my sword!
