The bowl is sagging at an angle, and the contents of the bowl are also flowing out,
At that time, the temperature was reported to have exceeded 40 degrees Celsius.
Moulds of melted matcha latte cups and ice cream models were also spotted in other regions.
In response, restaurant owners said "The temperature inside the display case would have soared even more at a time when it was already a heat wave.".
In fact, food models to stimulate appetite are made of wax, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), silicone, etc., making them vulnerable to heat.
It is also an example of experiencing an unprecedented heat wave this summer.
According to the Japan Meteorological Administration (JMA), Isasaki City, Gunma Prefecture, recorded 41.8 degrees Celsius on the 5th, breaking the maximum temperature.
Most of the other regions were also observed to be above 40 degrees Celsius, and the heat is expected to continue for the time being, so authorities urged the prevention of heat diseases.
Meanwhile, Japan recorded the hottest July since observation, with average temperatures of 2.89 degrees Celsius higher than the 1881-2020 average.
In addition, more than 17,000 people were transferred to hospitals for heat stroke during the month of June, the highest number of patients on a monthly basis since 2010.
