Dream - When enjoying a meal, sometimes we add seasoning like salt and pepper that are provided on the dining table. However, basically adding too much salt to food is not a good thing. Interestingly, there is currently technology that can correct the taste of food without the need to add a lot of salt.

Quoting Oddity Central, researchers collaborated with scientists at Meiji University to create a smart kitchen tool that uses electricity to enhance the salty taste of food. At that time, they tested smart spoons and bowls that could make food taste 1.5 times saltier. However, only the spoon successfully reached the marketing stage. Eventually, Elecispoon was launched with the goal of improving public health by helping to reduce salt intake.

This is where Elecispoon plays an important role. This smart spoon uses unique electric wave technology to deceive the user's taste senses. According to Kirin's press release, the tip of this spoon has a mechanism that can transfer electric charges to the food it touches, while creating an electric field around the tongue. This electric field causes sodium ions in the food to gather, resulting in a stronger salty taste.
