Those aluminum bottles are cool!

From 24CHANNEL#017 20100203.
This episode has two accomplished tasks. First was 水筒 (flask) & 美味しい水 (tasty water).
First is to have kakkoii flask

水筒(read: suitoo) is actually an aluminum bottle from Coleman, the outdoor gears specialist, that Tsuyoshi used at the previous episode (Camp). They met with the Coleman staff who looks like one of HSJ boy, Inoo Kei^^' and the bottle master, Honda-san.
The bottle is surprisingly lightweight.
Tsuyoshi drew two concepts. One is for the bigger bottle (32 oz) that has red-pink color with an emboss.

The second bottle is smaller (16 oz). He want it to be in purple with small sankaku prints at the lower part.

I wonder whether the aluminum bottle a new gear since I couldn't find them at the japan site, but there are at us site.

Here's what Coleman did for Tsuyoshi.

Now, Tsuyoshi has the bottles, he wants to fill it with tasty water.

This is the second part. To have a drink of tasty water.

Japan has some places that famous for the water. One of them is located in Nara, at Tenkawa village, that called ごろごろ水 (goro goro water).
Goro goro water. This water flows from the Goyomatsu limestone cave near the Doro River in Tenkawa Village, a place notable for its karst topography. It was considered "water of the gods"?that flowed from a place believed to be sacred by the Shugendo sect of Buddhism and has been designated by the Environment Agency as one of Japan's 100 select fine waters.

Tsuyoshi had a chance to taste the famous tofu that made using goro goro water. It's Meisui-tofu (). The tofu has softer texture. Read about Meisui-tofu here.

Looks delicious. I like tofu xD

This is not the goro goro water he wants to drink yet, but it's raw water that has been processed?

He choose @23 for Michael Jordan's, but I guess his fangirl would choose 24 instead, or no?

Here's the gensui (原水), the raw water of goro goro water. Is it really safe to drink the raw water?
