In May 2024, Kirin Electronics introduced the Electric Salt Spoon, a device designed to enhance the perception of saltiness and umami flavors in low-sodium foods. Utilising mild electrical currents, the spoon stimulates taste buds, making food taste more flavorful without added salt. This innovation aims to assist individuals seeking to reduce sodium intake for health reasons. Kirin Electronics released a limited run of 200 spoons, targeting health-conscious consumers and those with dietary restrictions.
