In Japan, the problem of excess salt intake has reached critical levels, with Japanese adults consuming approximately twice the daily recommended amount for health. To solve this problem, scientists from Meiji University have created a unique electric spoon that can add a salty taste to ordinary food.

Professor Homei Miyashita demonstrated this amazing invention, which works thanks to a weak electric field that concentrates sodium ions on the silt, enhancing the perception of salinity. Lightweight and convenient, the spoon weighs only 60 grams and is powered by a rechargeable lithium battery, making it accessible to everyone.
