The idea team came up with an idea based on the member’s own experience raising children, which reminded them of the sweet chewing behavior of babies and animals when they were infants. This project began with the thought of “Is it possible to recreate the happy moments that can only be experienced for a short period of time?” Since it was announced at CES 2022 in January 2022, it has become a hot topic on SNS and media both in Japan and abroad, and the crowdfunding challenge in Japan in March achieved 2297% of the target, the number of supporters was 2267, and the total amount of support was 11,485,575 yen.

Thanks to a program uniquely developed by Yukai Engineering called “Humgo Rhythm” that produces many sweet chewing gestures, you can experience a different sweet chew every time you insert your finger. For example, we made various gestures such as tasting ham, drowning ham, massage ham, and empty ham. We have implemented an algorithm that will never let you get bored depending on its parameters and combinations, and will bring you new discoveries every time you are bitten. The entire mechanism that includes the program is called the “Hamring System.”
