Miyashita and his lab have explored various ways that technology can interact with and stimulate human sensory experiences. He's also developed a lickable TV screen that can imitate various food flavours.
The taste-enhancing chopsticks may have particular relevance in Japan, where the traditional diet favours salty tastes. The average Japanese adult consumes about 10 grams of salt per day, double the amount recommended by the World Health Organisation.
Excess sodium intake is related to an increased incidence of high blood pressure, strokes and other ailments.
"To prevent these diseases, we need to reduce the amount of salt we take," said Kirin researcher Ai Sato.
"If we try to avoid taking less salt in a conventional way, we would need to endure the pain of cutting our favourite food from our diet, or endure eating bland food."
Miyashita and Kirin are refining their chopsticks prototype and hope to commercialise them as early as next year.
