3D-printed sushi? Japanese company brings restaurant idea to SXSW

If you want a piece of 3D-printed sushi from a Japanese company exhibiting at SXSW, first they want a piece of you... A company representative explained the process. When you make a reservation, the restaurant sends you what it calls a "health test kit." You send back a biological sample -- saliva, urine, stool -- and they analyze what kinds of nutrients your body needs. "Then we add those specific nutrients to your food to 3D print out those sushi for you," the representative explained. Using a combination of proteins, vitamins, minerals and other elements, the restaurant then prints each piece of sushi. The concept will be local in Tokyo to start, although Open Meals says it's also able to transmit 3D-printed sushi plans to anywhere that has the capability to print them.

“When you make a reservation, the restaurant sends you what it calls a “health test kit.” You send back a biological sample...”

After you’re identified, then they send over a killer robot to your house to eliminate you. Its for the earth...

@AOC tried it — they served her hay & sweet feed and a carrot for dessert.

How we keep it simple? I walk in, point at what I want, and you sell it to me.

Always be wary of a restaurant which collects stool samples.

Some day you can just have a food printer in your kitchen and when you order take out, they will send a file to your printer with the recipe instead of sending a delivery man.

I don’t see how this can be true. A simple Vit D level here can cost over $100, so they are claiming to completely analyze your entire nutritional needs and include it in the price of the sushi? Maybe for $5K per roll...

Or maybe it’s Big Brother or maybe it’s a gimick or maybe the company owner likes playing with poo but it’s definitely not what they’re making it out to be.

If true... this takes food processing to a new level. But what is the fake raw fish supposedly be made of? Is it some type of processed fish meal, or just goo they made up out of unspecified ingredients?
