AI-Baked Romance: Japan's 'RenAI' Bread Mimics Flavors of Love
February 4, 2024
Japanese bakery Kimuraya Sohonten has partnered with NEC Corp. to create 'RenAI' bread, which embodies different stages of love using AI.
The AI analyzed human conversations and song lyrics to infuse pastries with flavors representing romantic emotions for specific love-related scenarios.
Priced at 200 yen each, the pastries are available for purchase in the Kanto region and online, making them accessible to a wider audience.
The product line includes offerings with names like 'hajimete no date' (first date) and 'namida no shitsuren' (tears of heartbreak), with more to come, including flavors like mutual love and envy.
This initiative aims to blend technology with culinary arts to create an innovative and emotionally resonant eating experience that 'makes you fall in love when you eat it.'
