Daikin Industries, Ltd. is introducing advanced HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) technology to recreate the air of highland areas inside SUIKUU, a restaurant that Suntory Holdings Limited plans to open at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan.
SUIKUU is being operated in co-creation with Suntory, which is jointly exhibiting A Spectacle of Air and Water “Under the Midnight Rainbow” with Daikin at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan. The restaurant will open in the Water Plaza West Building, a commercial building in the Water Plaza area that looks out onto the sea and sky.
Under the concept of a ‘restaurant in the highland areas,’ SUIKUU offers guests the experience of dining at a higher mountain elevation while being near the sea. To do this, the restaurant employs Daikin’s unique ‘ceiling-supplied displacement ventilation air conditioning’, which features a high purification effect along with temperature, humidity, and airflow control technologies, to recreate the clean, refreshing air of the mountains while providing peace of mind and safety.
When these advanced HVAC technologies are combined with the University of Tokyo’s multisensory stimulation (cross-modal), a technology that excites the five senses through visual and audio stimuli, and Osaka University’s generative AI, the dining space is made even more enjoyable.
As a company aspiring to ‘Perfecting the Air’, Daikin will utilize its cutting-edge technology at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, a ‘People’s Living Lab; A laboratory for a future society’, to provide visitors from all over the world with safe and comfortable dining spaces of the future.
