It’s such a stylish shaved ice machine,” he said. Hmmm!　The ice melts in your mouth. The taste is on the level of what you would get at a restaurant.

The “Electric Shaved Ice Machine with Fluffy Snow Sticks” is compact and easy to place, and 18-year-old gravure idol Misaki Sawa is excited to try it out. She will be trying out 22 “cooling items” carefully selected by three experts (commented below) to help her beat the killer heat wave and stay comfortable even in this summer when temperatures exceed 35°C (95°F) every day.

Ms. Satomi Kishi, public relations manager of the lifestyle goods specialty store “Loft,” talks about this summer’s product trends.

There is an increase in carbonated items such as cold gel sprays and bath additives that promote perspiration, which can also be enjoyed with the sound of a whizzing sound. Another notable feature is the evolution of the handy fan, a standard item. In addition to its increased airflow, it is now more efficient and can be used by attaching it to the back of a smartphone,” says Sawa.

Mr. Sawa holds in his hand the latest handy fan “Eye Fan Mag. It attaches to the back of the smartphone with a magnet. Even if it does not have a magnet, the included metal ring can be used.

I used to feel it was dangerous to hold a smartphone and a handy fan together, because both hands would be occupied. It’s convenient to have them together!　It’s like killing two birds with one stone to be able to get a breeze while looking at your phone at the same time,” said Mr. Sawa.

Ms. Sawa is also very satisfied with the “double-sided usable pillow pad,” a cool pillow that she embraces with an enraptured expression on her face.

Not only is it exquisitely cool, but it also feels smooth and silky to the touch!　I can sleep soundly even on hot summer nights.

Kazuki Yamada, deputy editor-in-chief of monocritic magazine “MONOQLO,” explains.

The pillow has a feature that the coolness you feel from the moment you lie down lasts for a long time and prevents heat from being trapped in it. The pillowcase is not in the form of an elastic band, but rather wraps around the entire pillow. It is easy to replace and washing will not be a chore.

All you have to do is put in the ingredients, such as commercial vanilla essence, turn on the switch, and wait for 15 minutes. …… The “Toffy Ice Cream Maker” makes it easy to enjoy cold, delicious ice cream. Sawa-san couldn’t help but smile when he tried it out!

(15 minutes after putting in the ingredients) Oh, it’s ready, it’s ready!　It’s ready, it’s ready. It’s fun to be able to make ice cream by myself, it’s like I’ve returned to my childhood. It tastes rich and smooth. As an ice cream lover, I can’t get enough of the melting sensation.

Haru Kuramoto, a writer on home appliances, says.

Although you have to cool the pot beforehand, the ice cream recipes are introduced in the instruction manual and on the website, and you can even make unusual flavors such as avocado coconut. And it’s easy to wash, too, because the parts that come in contact with food can be washed in its entirety.”

Mr. Sawa was full of praise for the “cooling goods” recommended by the experts. We hope you will try them too, and make the uncomfortable heat go away.
