Whether the water is 'hard water' or 'soft water' is determined by the level of contents of minerals, such as magnesium and calcium. In Japan, soft water is determined by hardness below 100mg/L. Soft Water contains lower levels of minerals including magnesium and calcium and, has a softer mouthfeel and a mellower taste.
On the other hand, hard water has a hardness above 100mg/L. It includes a higher level of minerals such as magnesium and calcium but has a heavier mouthfeel. It is harder to be absorbed by our body, and hence it is not recommended to be mixed with power milk.
