The new perception of sound and taste experience. In your mouth, on your tongue, you will taste a sound experience of the journey to the various destination.

An experiencing exhibition by three artists as Ayako Suwa, the pursuer of "Expressive food," and sound artist Evala, the founder of See by Your Ears, and a media artist Yasuaki Kakehi who explores new haptic experiences. This is the new perception of sound and taste experience. In your mouth, on your tongue, you will taste a sound experience of the journey to the various destination. When you wear earplugs to cancel extraneous sounds and put a candy Taste of Journey in your mouth, the journey started with sounds vibration, then you can hear the sounds clearly inside your body. Though you close your eyes and ears, the experience evokes various dreamscape by your multiple sensations of sound, touch, and flavor. Everything synthesizes in the mouth to provide a sense of time passing and spatial movement.
The journey begins with selecting one aroma from the twelve scents blended especially for the exhibition. This aroma becomes the compass guiding guests to their destinations as they taste a candy which layered several tastes and textures in harmony with the fragrance and sounds. For the experience, Taste of Journey which installed a vibration actuator expresses a soundscape of Evala in your mouth through your bone conduction. You are leaving on a spatial journey by tasting and hearing. It all depends on you, someone says that its as like a long long journey for many years or a few hours even though the experience is in just 4 minutes. And by taking the journey simultaneously with others, guests share these special feelings and sensations, further deepening the experience and the impression it leaves behind.

"This is an experience to recuperate a real evolution, to whom had been evolved as "grown-up focusing too much on what one can see in the eye." Its a totally new sound and taste installation which invite you to a spectacular journey with using your multi-sensory." _Ayako Suwa
