外国人モニターによる日本製品レポート Vol.2 2007年8月配信

No.4
●Natinality：American
●Birh Year：20's
●Sex：Male
●Product Name：Shouyu
●Good / bad ：
Well, it's pretty cheap, widely available, and it keeps. Also, it is
necessary for cooking many Japanese dishes, and several foreign dishes as well.
As far as disadvantages go, I can't really think of any. If you drink the
stuff every day, you could get diabetes, I suppose...
●Improving idea ：
Well, given that shouyu is and has been a staple in Japan for a very
long time, I believe that its ability to be improved is quite limited. Company
could use additives or do something else to help its shouyu keep longer
or improve its nutritional value. Or, perhaps it could improve the actual
bottle to make it easier to pour a specific amount without using a
measuring instrument.

No.5
●Natinality：British
●Birh Year：30's
●Sex：Male
●Product Name：Cellphone
●Good / bad ：
The slimline design makes it easy to fit in a shirt / trouser pocket
with stretching the material like my old ipod does. I also like the quick
open function and the quality of the camera is good considering the size
of the handset.
●Improving idea ：
I wish it came with an automatic power on function like my old handset!
Without that it is difficult to use the alarms without leaving the phone
on (and on normal mode) during the night (during which time I tend to
reecive junk mail and or junk calls). Perhaps there is another way to
do this, but the instruction manual came with limited English (only
the most basic things were explained).

No.6
●Natinality：Indian
●Birh Year：30's
●Sex：Female
●Product Name：Tubed Butter
●Good / bad ：
A must on the breakfast table,this product has become an essential
part in the quick fix life of today.It's soft consistency makes it easy
to apply on bread/muffins et al. Also a convenient way to add taste to
food. The easy squeeze nature of tube adds convenience in handling it. The
all Nihongo script on the tube disables one to recognize the food
facts(like vitamins,minerals) in it,thus preventing many foreigners
using it on a regular basis for a balanced diet.
●Improving idea：
Fortifying the butter with more minerals,vitamins,fruit products(fruit
butter!!!) could make it more indespensible in our daily lives by adding
to its health value.Breakfast being the main meal,it'd be good to get
so much nutrition from one tube. Moreover,some basic facts like health
facts written in english could attract more foreign gentry and improve
its sales. So waiting for the fortified butter with an english label
in addition to Nihongo label to be recognized on the shelves!
