Tokyo's Pioneer in Genetic Dining Experience
The future of dining is coming to Tokyo! On November 22, 2025, a unique experience called the "Genetic Restaurant" will be hosted at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) as part of the Tokyo Mirai Park project. This innovative initiative, organized by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and KEAN Health, is set to transform how we view our diets by tailoring meals specifically for each individual's genetic makeup.
Understanding the Concept
Genetic information can reveal various traits, such as how effectively our bodies can break down carbohydrates and fats. By understanding our own genetic characteristics, we take the first steps toward a healthier lifestyle and enhanced well-being. This event is designed to help participants gain insights into their genetics and discover meals customized for them through a memorable culinary journey.

The Genetic Restaurant event will provide a comprehensive program, including:
1.
Introduction (Approx. 5 minutes): A brief overview of the event and guidelines will set the stage for the experience.
