way food tastes in a pseudo-sensory
perception. This equipment has
confirmed for the first time in the
world that the salty taste perceived
when eating low-sodium foods is
enhanced by about 1.5 times in a
clinical test on people who are
reducing salt. This spoon and bowl
were developed from salty
chopsticks, which aim to reduce their
daily salt intake.
The principle of this salting spoon
and bowl is to deliver light electricity
with a specific wavelength from the
surface of the metal container to the
food. It affects the sodium chloride
ions in the food and induces a feeling
of saltiness when touched by the
tongue. The equipment used the
power from the batteries embedded
inside. The development in the form
of spoons and bowls has different
from chopsticks. The advantage is
that the container has enough space
for the battery and reduces the
saltiness of both soups and curries.
This innovative device is preparing
to be launched and sold in Japan in
2023. It is an innovative product that
should decrease the problem of
eating salty habits and health
problems.

Electric Salt Spoon
Consumers can switch on the
spoon handle and set the intensity
(4 levels) according to their
preference. After making your
selection, use the spoon the same
way as an ordinary one. Light
electricity will be released through
the food to produce the effect
from the tip of the spoon. It can be
used for ramen noodles, soups,
and curries with many
ingredients instead of
ordinary spoons.
