Uribo Lab, a Type B Employment Support Workshop operated by Uribo LLC (Location: Kagoshima Prefecture, CEO: Hiroshi Fujiwara), held its first-ever sponsored experience event for the 'Space-Edible Spoon Project' on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at Ikeda Coffee in Kagoshima City.
MiMi cafe prepared a special sweet potato gelato, and a demonstration was held where participants actually scooped and ate the gelato using 'edible spoons.' This vision of 'products from Kagoshima to the world and towards space' has started moving Kagoshima businesses in their respective fields of expertise.
Project Achievements (as of April 2026): Progress and shipping volumes are currently being disclosed on the project's special site.
Event Scene on April 18: About 10 to 30 participants gathered at Ikeda Coffee. Amidst the aroma of coffee, the experience of scooping MiMi cafe's specially made sweet potato gelato with an 'edible spoon' and eating the spoon itself spread throughout the venue. The spoons were also exhibited alongside original blend coffee, catching the eyes of visitors.
Project Leader Hattori (Uribo) stated, 'This project is a challenge to create solutions from the field for social issues such as disability employment, waste reduction, and disaster stockpiles.' Participants expressed surprise at the spoon's hardness, comparing it to the world's hardest cookies, and felt the deep significance of the project's multi-faceted contributions to the environment and social welfare.
Collaborating Partners:
- Ikeda Coffee (Kagoshima City): Provided the venue and facilitated connections with the local community.
- MiMi cafe (Minamikyushu City): A farmer-run food truck that produced the dedicated sweet potato gelato.
- Satsuma-O Co., Ltd. (Strategy Partner): Supported the project since its launch through sample distribution, market development, and quality improvement feedback.
The project aims to reach space-food standards through collaborations with local partner companies and local brands.
