I will be speaking at the S-NET seminar on examples of space business.

Can delicious beer be brewed in space? It is a scientific inquiry that piques intellectual curiosity and a challenge to bring smiles to people's faces.

It is said that in the near future, humanity will live in outer space. For long-term living, technologies that efficiently produce food and beverages with limited resources, as well as a delicious diet that allows for a fulfilling life even in a closed environment, will be key. How will the fermentation process change in the vastly different environment of space? What fermentation conditions will be optimal? This time, we have designed a device to conduct such experiments. It can be equipped with sensors to monitor alcohol concentration and beer flavor components, allowing for the evaluation of brewing quality during unmanned experiments on satellites. Additionally, it has a compact structure suitable for use on the space station. Takasago Electric Industry provided parts and technical advice for the construction of a lunar beer brewing device by American students in 2017. While there is gravity on the moon, brewing beer in the weightlessness of outer space requires a completely closed system, necessitating more advanced technology for gas management and internal agitation. We have addressed such challenges and have also filed for a patent. Cheers with beer brewed in space while looking at Earth! Isn't that exciting? This is a project filled with dreams and hopes, looking towards the future of humanity heading into space!

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

Our company sells PDCE devices and the supports and fittings for installing these devices in various locations. The new lightning rod "PDCE Lightning Ball" is designed to "avoid" lightning strikes by incorporating features that make it difficult for lightning to approach, unlike traditional lightning rods. Its round shape and double structure with an insulator help suppress "welcoming discharge," which attracts lightning current. This lightning protection system complies with the lightning reception requirements of the "Building Standards Act." Rakurai Yokusei Systems Co., Ltd. https://www.rakurai-yokusei.jp/

We have launched a "Display Item Search Page" that allows you to search for unit houses currently on display at exhibition halls nationwide, which was made available on January 6, 2026. There are over 800 items listed on the website. You can filter by area, price range, size, purpose, product type, color, and more. You can also check exterior and interior photos, prices, facilities, and drawings/specifications online. If you're interested in a display item, you can directly inquire, make a reservation to visit, or consult via LINE. This is a convenient service that allows you to efficiently progress from comparison to detailed consideration. Please take a look!
