When traveling in Japan, it is important to drink plenty of water throughout the day to ensure you can enjoy your trip without suffering from dehydration. There are very many vending machines in Japan, and many travelers use vending machines to quench their thirst, but especially in the summer, one problem is drinks that have been bought becoming lukewarm as you go about your day of sightseeing.
A stainless steel thermos is very handy to have in such a situation. Many people love stainless steel thermoses for their ability to keep cold things cold and hot things hot, but actually, this product is Japanese-born and filled with Japanese design.
Originally, glass thermoses were invented in Britain in the 1980s, and at that time it was not an uncommon sight to see children who had dropped their glass thermoses crying.
Seeing such sad faces Japanese designers developed a stainless steel thermos using vacuum technology to design a thermos bottle that won’t break even if a child drops it! The story of how it was made is all the more heartwarming because of its motive of helping children.
This product, which is so useful when traveling, has its origins in the desire of Japanese people of the time to not have to see the sad faces of children.
