Original interesting home appliances are released every week! Sanko Akihabara So-honten" of Sanko, a home electronics manufacturer from Akiba, is too much fun!

Akihabara is a town with a variety of topics such as anime, idols, and personal computers, but it also has a face as a town of gadgets.

Those who know the good old Akihabara, in particular, may have the impression that it was a town that sold a variety of electronic products, and they may still look for unique products in the stores that are hard to find in other towns.

Inheriting the traditions of the good old Akihabara, Sanko, a home electronics manufacturer born in Akihabara and with a store in Akihabara, continues to create new ideas and products every day.

Although a small-to-medium-sized manufacturer with only 55 employees, Sanko's sales have soared in the wake of the Corona disaster, from 1.7 billion yen in FY2019 to 4.4 billion yen in 2020 and 3.7 billion yen in 2021. The driving force behind this success is the many new products that are launched every week as a result of ideas shared by all employees.

Employees bring in their ideas for new products one after another, and the ideas are commercialized one after another. Although they are not usually conscious of it, they certainly want it when they are told about it. Mr. Eki, a well-known PR person, introduced us to some of the Sankei products that reach out to such itchy corners of the market!

First on the store shelves was the "Neck Cooler Slim. It is an idea product that cools the neck directly with a cooling plate, and has been a hit product for many years.

The semi-circular plate cools the neck rapidly with a sharp "kiing" sound! and rapidly cools the neck.

Sanrio model neck coolers are also newly released!

In addition, there were many other cooling items lined up in the store to help people survive the extreme heat.

This is the "Folding Fambrella. The inside of the parasol has a fan that blows a refreshing breeze downward!

Personally, I was most impressed with the "Ore no Ramen Nabe. Simply put instant bagged rice noodles and water in the tray, bring to a boil, and your ramen is ready to eat. And since the tray is removable, washing it is a breeze!

Although bagged noodles are cosy, it is also true that preparing a pot, the right amount of hot water, and a bowl is often a hassle: ....... However, this will definitely improve both cospa and typa.
