Japan-based Kirin Holdings unveiled a new electric spoon at CES 2025 that enhances the saltiness of food.
spoon uses a mild electric current to concentrate sodium ions, boosting the umami and salt flavor of low-sodium foods without adding extra salt. It increases saltiness by 1.5 times.
The spoon offers four intensity levels to customize the taste experience. Made of plastic and metal, it weighs just 60g and is powered by a rechargeable lithium battery.
Launched in Japan in 2024 for around $127, Kirin plans to expand global sales in the future.
