The latest stylish rendition of Japanese confectioneries not only look good and taste good, but are scientific, too, because they’re designed based on weather data.
▼ Sweets designed based on the weather in Japan on the day Tokyo Tower was completed, the day Tokyo Sky Tree was completed, and the day of the solar eclipse during the Heisei period (from left to right).
The sweets, which are called “Cyber Wagashi” (“wagashi” being Japanese sweets), are a food tech project by “Open Meals”, which is a creative organization that works together with business and universities to digitize our experience of food.
▼ This 3-D printer was designed specifically for this purpose, and its frame was built using traditional Japanese carpentry techniques.
They can even make designs of the weather of the past or the predicted weather of the future.
