At CES 2025, Kirin Holdings showcased its innovative Electronic Salt Spoon, designed to enhance the flavor of low-sodium foods using a mild electric current. This technology concentrates sodium ions, boosting umami and saltiness without adding extra sodium. Previously launched in Japan for about $127, the company aims for a global rollout. The spoon's development is backed by research that earned the 2023 Ig Nobel prize. Attendees sampled its effects at CES Unveiled, sparking interest in this unique culinary gadget.
