Driving from the mecca of large servings to Gotemba Outlet. The "slim fan" from 3COINS that I used at that time was more comfortable than I expected. Reporting on its power and the large servings.

It was more comfortable than I expected, the 3COINS "Slim Fan"

I had just eaten a large and hot tempura (refer to the end of this article), so by the time I left the store, I was completely drenched in sweat. My shirt was damp all over, and I hesitated to get into the car like this. And to make matters worse, the interior of the car exposed to sunlight was filled with suffocating heat.

My back stuck to the seat was not getting any airflow, so it felt like a real sauna.
Will the 3COINS "Slim Fan" installed in the car truly show its capabilities!? The slim fan, installed between the headrest and the seat, made its appearance much earlier than expected in May, as it was set up for this summer.

Being slim, it does not obstruct driving. It delivers a cool breeze right at the gap between my back and the seat where the air conditioning doesn't reach.

The operation allows for wind power adjustment in three levels using a button on the side. Since the wind blows closely to my neck and back, I could feel a pleasant sensation as the breeze flowed through my shirt. With the icy cold air from the front and the strong airflow from the slim fan at the back hitting me simultaneously, my perceived temperature dropped sharply. This was more comfortable than I imagined!

After about a 1-hour drive, my back feels surprisingly dry!

And after about an hour of driving, we arrived at our next destination for the big serving challenge, the Gotemba Outlet. Perhaps because I was using the Slim Fan to keep the wind on me, my back was astonishingly dry! It got so chilly that I even had to reduce the wind speed of the Slim Fan halfway. The moment I got out of the car, I was moved by the freedom of my shirt not sticking to my skin.

By the way, what is the sacred place for large servings, "Tonkatsu Mayu"?

Before trying the Slim Fan, I stopped by "Tonkatsu Mayu" in Isehara after visiting Ooyama. This renowned restaurant has gained popularity on social media as the 'sacred place for large servings'. Locals, of course, as well as fans from afar gather here, making it bustling every day.

I intended to avoid peak hours and stopped by around 2 PM on a holiday, but to my surprise, there were several cars waiting in the parking lot. With no choice, I parked in a nearby coin parking lot and went to the store, only to find several groups waiting even in front of the store.

Unexpectedly, the turnover rate was high, and I was able to be seated in just a few minutes. I was quite hungry, so the quick guidance was a pleasant surprise.
What surprised me when I looked at the lunch menu was the sheer variety. I counted, and there were as many as 27 types of set meals available. What was astonishing was the pricing; even the most expensive menu was only 970 yen, which is incredibly cheap these days. Additionally, it's great that you can order this lunch until 4 PM.
From the many lunch menus, I chose the "Menchi Croquette Salad Set" (730 yen). Just as the rumors suggested, the generous portion of rice fills the plate, along with a menchi cutlet and croquette that are as large as fists. It's unbelievable how satisfying this volume is for 730 yen.

The menchi cutlet was particularly delicious. The coating is crispy and fragrant, with piping hot juices bursting out from inside. The accompanying potato salad is also quite hefty and has a comforting home-cooked flavor. There's no way this wouldn't go well with rice. Even though I felt like my stomach might burst, I was completely absorbed in finishing it until the end.

With a cool item, driving is fun no matter where you go

In the summer, even a little day trip can feel too hot and make you reluctant to go, but having a cool item can really lift your spirits.

By the way, the Slim Fan from 3COINS can also be installed facing the other way, serving as a circulator to send cool air to the back seat. How about adding a bit of coolness to your summer lunch outings or sightseeing drives?
