The use of taste data is going to the world of Web3.0
Taste & Aroma Strategic Research Institute (head office in Chuo-Ku, Tokyo, president and representative director: KOYANAGI Michihiro) transformed 4 items of their original recipes into food NFTs through the Food NFT Consortium initiated by 「だいたいウニ」 (Daitai-Uni: Alternative Sea Urchin). They contain original recipes and taste data, as the first NFTs of the company.
Taste & Aroma Strategic Research Institute has the technology of visualizing taste, aroma, texture by Kansei (‘affective’) analysis equipment, and provides consulting services in the field of food digital solutions, clarifying individual taste preference, developing and customizing food products for target markets based on a taste database of over 120,000 items.
The food market is currently facing various social challenges, such as resource depletion due to overfishing, unstable supply because of climate changes, and underutilized agricultural wastes. The potential of recreating taste is considerably expected to make contributions to the taste redesign of alternative foods and effective use of waste vegetables.
Taste & Aroma Strategic Research Institute has been on the board of the Food NFT Consortium since its inception, providing taste analysis technology, the fundamental of food NFTs. This technology is also crucial for shaping the value of digital asset, supporting the recipe recreation and vindication by combining taste data and recipe.
As a Web3.0×Food project, food NFT stores the all recipe data on the blockchain. The data asset consisting of recipe and taste data is eternally saved on the blockchain, which will not vanish or be delible. This ensures that records of recipe developers will not be lost, and facilitates its management and operation. Furthermore, the high reproducibility makes it suitable for preservation and transmission.
Food NFT released at this time
It is published in the form of webpages. The previews are accessible through the website of Food NFT Consortium. Details including recipe and taste data are encrypted and protected with password.

Food NFT as A Utilization Strategy of Taste Analysis Data

It has broadened the application fields so far as a common language of Kansei (‘affective’), the evidence for research and development of food, sales promotion, and marketing.
Along with Food NFTs becoming available in the future, that store analysis data on the blockchain, the application of taste data will extend into the Web 3.0 world fundamented with the blockchain.
In addition to preservation, transmission and certification, the food NFT is supposed to have a wide range of uses, such as trading NFT itself, franchising business by stating the right. The latest information on food NFTs is available on the Food NFT Consortium website and Twitter.

What is Food NFT?
Food NFTs are a kind of Non-Fungible Tokens that maximize the value of recording and tokenizing the “recipe data” and “taste data” which is quantified by the analytical technology of Taste & Aroma Strategic Research Institute. They also magnify the advantages of safeguarding the reproducible “recipe data” as digital assets by fully on chain in Symbol, a public blockchain.
■About Food NFT Consortium
The Food NFT Consortium was established to create a “Food NFT” market. “Taste data” and “recipe data” for many attractive “tastes” that you want to eat, make, and convey are created and recorded on the blockchain to convert them into Food NFTs.
