AJINOMATRIX × CHEF HIRO (3M) — Exploring the Most Visually Appealing Sushi on Social Media

We’re opening 2026 with an audacious creative challenge: co-create, with Chef Hiro, the most visually captivating sushi ever seen on social media—engineered with Ajinomatrix Sensory-AI.



Chef Hiro needs no introduction to food lovers online. With 2.2 million followers, collaborations ranging from world-class luxury brands to top media, and a uniquely playful rigor, he has turned culinary craft into global entertainment. At Ajinomatrix we share that spirit: in 2025 we wired flavor to physics and matured Ajinoverse 2.0—our stack that blends ingredient science, sensory data, and creative tooling for chefs and brands.


Status: We’re in exploratory discussions with Chef Hiro’s team about a creative sprint and showcase. Timelines and scope will be finalized once schedules align. (Brands and co-sponsors: see the call-to-collab below.)





The Concept: “Sushi That Breaks the Feed”



We will merge culinary artistry with Sensory-AI to design sushi compositions that optimize for:


  • Look: color harmony, luster, translucency, geometry, negative space, macro/close-up impact.

  • Feel: bite progression, snap vs. melt, rice cohesion, temperature contrast.

  • Aroma & finish: volatilization curves and retronasal echoes that match the visual promise.

  • Viral heuristics: predicted scroll-stop probability and share intent from visual dynamics.



Deliverables we are proposing for the sprint:


  1. Creative lab (Tokyo/Brussels): storyboard, palette, plating grammars.

  2. Prototype series: 6–10 hero pieces filmed in high-speed macro and natural light.

  3. Public challenge: a social rollout with behind-the-scenes “why this looks delicious” explainers.






The Tech Behind the Beauty



  • CACT (Clustering): narrows the ingredient and garnish search-space to coherent “visual-flavor families” (e.g., jewel translucents, matte botanicals, umami-amber set).

  • TasteTuner: maps Chef choices to target profiles (brightness, depth, finish) and suggests micro-adjustments (seasoning, curing, rice prep).

  • RecipeAnalyzer: rapid “what-if” deltas on aroma/texture when swapping fish cuts, vinegars, or botanicals.

  • Ajinoverse 2.0: a single canvas for recipe steps, sensory targets, and shot lists—ready for content and brand partners.



Outcome we’re aiming for: fewer iterations, stronger wow-factor, and storytelling that teaches audiences why they’re captivated.





Why This Matters (and How Brands Can Join)



For CPG, hospitality, and creators, this is a live proof that taste, texture, and aesthetics can be designed together—ethically and sustainably. We are opening limited co-sponsorship slots for:


  • Ingredient & garnish partners (premium, sustainable sourcing).

  • Optics & content tech (macro rigs, lighting, slow-mo).

  • Platforms & media (amplification, challenge mechanics).

Next Steps



  • Align diaries with Chef Hiro’s team and lock the creative-lab window.

  • Pre-produce the shotlist + sensory targets inside Ajinoverse.

  • Confirm co-sponsors and roll out the content plan.



Note: This post announces our intention and ongoing talks; any final collaboration, schedule, and usage rights will be confirmed with Chef Hiro’s team in writing prior to the shoot and publication.
