❶I have heard that various Japanese products are accepted as cool by people from abroad. It is called “Cool Japan.” What Japanese products are “cool” to you?

Mary :

For me, Japanese lunch boxes are very cool. Last week, I saw a bento box in the shape of a maneki-neko. It is surprisingly compact but is divided into three sections. In addition, the top section can be used as a soup bowl when you turn it upside down! I was very surprised at that idea.
