Overview
Participated in the Food Tech Project OPEN MEALS. We supervised the production of “cyber wagashi”, wagashi that can be eaten in real life, formed based on meteorological data.
Cyber Wagashi” is a wagashi made by a 3D printer using a proprietary algorithm developed based on weather data. With climate change and urban life, we can no longer feel the four seasons as we once did, but now we can see, eat, and enjoy the Tokyo sky of the day through wagashi that changes shape and color according to wind speed, atmospheric pressure, and temperature.
