Japanese drinks giant Kirin Holdings will start selling an electrified spoon that researchers claim can promote healthier eating by enhancing salty tastes without extra sodium. Monday's product launch marks the first commercialisation of technology that last year won an Ig Nobel Prize, which honours unusual and whimsical research. Kirin will sell just 200 of its Electric Salt Spoons online for 19,800 yen ($127) this month and a limited run at a Japanese retailer in June, but is hoping for 1 million users globally within five years.
Kirin Holdings Co. (KNBWY) might move higher on growing optimism about its earnings prospects, which is reflected by its upgrade to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
A Japanese whisky "renaissance" will help Kirin Holdings more than double exports of its premium brand by 2025, the company's master blender said. Japan had fewer than 10 distilleries for most of its whisky history, which hit the century mark last year. "I really believe that we are in the midst of a Japanese whisky renaissance," said Jota Tanaka, who leads Kirin's whisky business.
