Kirin Holdings Co. has introduced a novel spoon designed to enhance salty and umami flavors by emitting a weak electric current, which is completely safe for the human body.

This innovative product is targeted at individuals looking to reduce their salt intake for health reasons. It is priced at ¥19,800, including tax. Reservations are open at the company’s online store until June 2, with only 200 units available for purchase by randomly selected customers.

Ideal for use with soups and curries, the spoon will also be available at select Hands stores, known for selling household goods, starting in mid-June.
