RIIZE's Yufuin Hot Spring Trip: A 'Healing Course' from Making Takoyaki to Eating Lobster

The group RIIZE shared the daily lives of the members through content capturing their travel process of enjoying hot springs and gourmet food in Yufuin, Japan. In the released video, scenes followed from the process of members making takoyaki themselves to tasting various local foods.

"Failure to Control Water" A Chaotic Cooking Process While Making Takoyaki

At the beginning of the video, the members prepared ingredients to make takoyaki themselves. Various conversations took place among the members during the process of using 200g of takoyaki powder and 640ml of water. Confusion occurred during the process of adjusting the amount of water due to Japanese notation and other factors. In particular, the cooking process was not smooth, to the point where the mention "We put in too much water" came out during the water-adding process. As the batter became thinner than expected, a reaction of "This is a bit like monjayaki" emerged.

During the cooking process, the members moved busily, applying oil and flipping the batter. They were shown adding cheese or including octopus and crab meat to compose the ingredients. While performing the action of flipping the batter, the members shared cooking tips, saying, "There must be plenty of oil so it doesn't stick and doesn't burn." After the takoyaki was completed, they checked the results, saying, "Ours is crispy."

Local Gourmet Experiences in Yufuin Including Lobster and Sashimi

During mealtime, various local foods of Yufuin were served. When sashimi appeared, the members reacted, saying, "Every kind is here." In particular, lobster was provided as a menu item, and the members enjoyed the food while having conversations regarding the characteristics of lobster, such as "If it can't molt, it dies." Seeing the lobster without its shell, they continued their meal while mentioning, "It has molted."

In addition to this, along with conversations about ingredients such as soy sauce and ginger provided with the sashimi, the members revealed their respective eating habits. One specific member showed a simple appetite by saying, "It would be nice if they gave me one bowl of rice with Shin Ramyun," while another member showed focus on the meal, saying, "I am replenishing protein." The members continued their conversation by sharing memories of animations or movies they enjoyed in the past.

"Feels Like Visiting a Dermatologist" Impressions Left by the Hot Spring Trip

Concluding the trip, the members shared their impressions of the Yufuin hot spring trip. Regarding the hot spring trip taken in summer, reactions such as "I think my skin got better" and "It feels like I visited a dermatologist once" came out. They expressed satisfaction, mentioning that their skin condition after the hot spring was "soft and smooth."

The members summarized this trip as "SHOTARO and SOHEE's healing trip," and exchanged positive conversations about the atmosphere of Yufuin town and the hot spring experience. The video concluded with the members shouting a slogan together against the backdrop of Yufuin town.
