Ever heard the term nekojita? In Japan, it literally means “cat’s tongue,” and it’s used to describe people who can’t handle hot food—kind of like actual cats, who avoid heat due to their super sensitive tongues. While most of us humans have some tolerance, we still blow or slurp carefully to avoid burning ourselves.
But now, there’s a clever little solution from Japan: the Nékojita Fufu Cat Tongue Food Cooler — a cat-shaped mini fan that does the cooling for you. Yup, this adorable gadget hangs on the side of your bowl or cup and gently blows air onto your hot soup, coffee, or ramen to cool it down faster. No more awkward slurping or waiting forever for your food to chill.
It’s more than just cute—it’s smart. You can choose between two airflow settings: steady or a more natural, human-like blowing pattern. It’s also USB rechargeable, easy to wash, and compact enough to toss in your bag. Whether you’re at home, at the office, or on the go, it’s ready to help.
Its little paws grip bowls and mugs with edges between 2mm to 6mm thick, or it can just sit next to your plate. Perfect for kids, elderly folks, cat lovers, or anyone with a “cat tongue” who wants a fun, useful way to cool their hot meals.
Honestly, if you’re someone who always burns their mouth—or you just love quirky Japanese food gadgets—this cat tongue food cooler is a must-have. [buy from amazon]
