Any fan of Japanese cuisine loves good sushi, but this restaurant in Tokyo takes it to another level. Sushi Singularity restaurant is starting to serve exclusive 3-D printed sushi that’s personalized for each guest. How does that even work?
The restaurant works together with a startup called Open Meals. They have an ambitious plan – to use new technologies to make “new sushi” that will be 3-D printed based on the DNA analysis of each customer. This means that your personal sushi will provide the nutrients your own body needs based on your health requirements.
But DNA analysis can’t be done on the spot. It takes some time, so the guests need to make a reservation first, after which they will get a health test kit to their address. Based on the tests, they will receive a health ID which will be used to optimize the cooking ingredients.
“Hyper-personalisation will become common for future foods. Based on DNA, urine and intestinal tests, people will each have individual health IDs,” Open Meals website reads. “This identity is analysed, and nutritional matching is performed to match nourishment needs with biometrics, thus the person is automatically provided with the optical diet,” explained the brand.
