The spoon that intensifies salty flavors.

And this is one of those technologies ready to be used in our homes, imagine a spoon capable of transforming common meals into unique gastronomic experiences, without adding a pinch of salt, that is the reality behind the most recent innovation from kirin holdings. Introduced at CES 2025, the flavor-intensifying electric spoon designed to revolutionize the consumption of low-sodium foods, the electric spoon uses advanced technology to expand the perception of saltiness and food, making healthy meals as tasty as their versions traditional. The secret of this technological spoon lies in the use of soft electric currents that are imperceptible to the Tac but capable of deceiving the palate. By interacting with the ions present in the food, these currents increase the perception of the Salty flavor up to one and a half times, the result being soups, curries, even instant noodles without that powder from the packet but with enhanced flavor and without excess sodium that is harmful to health. With a practical and intuitive design, the spoon offers four levels of intensity allowing users to adjust the flavor experience according to their preferences. It is a versatile tool suitable for a wide variety of dishes and integrates perfectly into the dining table.
