Onsen Trio (温泉トリオ) or "The three sisters of Steam" (湯けむり三姉妹) is an unofficial Nogizaka46 unit created for the song Gomen ne, Smoothie, a song from Nogizaka46's 3rd album Umaretekara Hajimete Mita Yume.

The trio name comes from a reference to an outing that the three members took in 2014. On December 25, 2013, after recording Nogizaka46's "no", they went out for dinner together and promised to spend Christmas together the next year as well. A year later, on December 25, 2014, it was revealed on a blog that the three of them went on a day trip to the hot springs as promised. Until 2013, it seemed that these three people were not particularly close.
