With Leisure Plus, Redefining Hong Kong’s Bathroom Experience Through AI Smart Toilets and Bathroom Cabinets for a New Era of Intelligent Living
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 April 2026 – As urban life in Hong Kong places growing emphasis on efficiency, health and space utilisation, a truly future-facing bathroom brand has officially arrived. Leisure Plus Building Products Company Limited, which has been rooted in Hong Kong for nearly three decades, has officially announced its appointment as the Hong Kong sole agent for global bathroom leader JOMOO. Together, the two companies are bringing world-renowned premium smart bathroom products to the Hong Kong market, using JOMOO’s leading AI-powered digital technology to deliver innovative bathroom solutions tailored to the city’s unique living environment. This partnership not only marks the arrival of a heavyweight international brand in Hong Kong’s bathroom market, but also signals a new AI-driven era for local homes and commercial spaces.
For Hong Kong people, the bathroom has never been a purely functional space. Within a limited footprint, it carries cleansing, grooming, care, storage, and the rhythm of how each day begins and ends. Space is compact, humidity is high, storage must be efficient, and expectations for the user experience keep rising. JOMOO’s arrival in Hong Kong answers the city’s pursuit of efficiency, comfort, health and aesthetics with world-leading AI bathroom technology. The brand is also introducing several smart toilets and innovative bathroom mirror cabinets for their Hong Kong debut, showing how bathroom AI can move from concept into daily life and become a real part of improving everyday living.
Leisure Plus Building Products said: “Bringing JOMOO to Hong Kong reflects Leisure Plus’s deep insight into the future of living. We see Hong Kong’s premium bathroom market moving beyond traditional hardware into a new stage that combines smart technology, health management, space integration and sensory experience. By partnering with JOMOO, Leisure Plus is bringing globally leading AI smart bathroom technology to Hong Kong, not only adding an international-calibre brand to the market, but also redefining daily life through technology, enabling the bathroom to evolve from a single-function space into a core living space that delivers comfort, efficiency and wellness value.”
JOMOO: Reshaping the Bathroom Experience with AI and Unrivalled Global Leadership
Founded in 1990, JOMOO has long ranked No.1 in China’s bathroom industry and among the world’s top three. With technology-driven bathroom living at its core, the brand combines R&D, intelligent manufacturing and innovative design, and is committed to redefining premium living through AI. As the pioneer behind the “AI BATH” scene-based brand, JOMOO breaks away from conventional product thinking with pioneering motorised flip-and-discharge cleansing technology that significantly improves performance while achieving library-level quietness. Combined with AI robotic self-cleaning and contact-free health sensing technologies, it deeply integrates artificial intelligence, biosensing and everyday bathroom use, delivering more proactive and thoughtful health support for users.
In this high-profile move into Hong Kong, JOMOO is guided by the strategy “Tech Bathroom, Global JOMOO”, bringing not only products but also a lifestyle upgrade powered by AI. Tailored to Hong Kong’s compact and humid living environment, the brand offers smart, space-saving and health-enhancing bathroom solutions, helping lift the overall standard of bathroom living in the city.
From Smart Toilets to Bathroom Cabinets: A Powerful New AI Bathroom Lineup Arrives in Hong Kong
G06 and G08 Smart Digital Toilets
In Hong Kong’s space-constrained homes, bathroom spaces often face multiple challenges, including limited room, humidity and restricted functionality. Tailored specifically for Hong Kong homes, JOMOO is introducing two flagship smart toilets and one smart bathroom cabinet that use AI-powered digital technology to resolve the tension between space and functionality in one stroke, bringing consumers a world-leading premium smart bathroom experience. The G06 Smart Digital Toilet is an entry choice that balances intelligence, comfort and practicality, while the G08 Smart Digital Toilet comes with an upgraded digital display and a more comprehensive smart feature set, taking comfort, convenience and technology to a new level.
To address the common problem of compact bathrooms in Hong Kong, both products are equipped with features such as “triple foot-sensing control”, “smart wireless control” and “auto-flush on departure”. Users do not need to twist sideways or make unnecessary movements, and can enjoy a freer, smoother toilet experience even in narrower bathroom spaces.

Powered by AI technology, it integrates three major functions – beauty-product preservation, dedicated wash care, and smart mirror features – so that every inch of space delivers greater value and daily routines become more precise, smoother and more relaxed, completely reinventing the bathroom experience.

Crafted for the enjoyment of life without compromise, the renewed Dry Crystal features Ryusei Yokohama as the new campaign’s face and is now available in supermarkets and restaurants throughout the region
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 April 2026 – Japan’s number one selling beer brand Asahi Super Dry has unveiled a major evolution of its Dry Crystal, introducing zero sugar in Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland and low sugar in Taiwan, 3.5% ABV. Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of living a full and active life, Dry Crystal offers less sugar than Asahi Super Dry beer, while delivering the same iconic Super Dry taste. Now available in Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan markets, the renewed Dry Crystal represents Asahi Super Dry’s continued commitment to providing consumers with carefully crafted and mindful drinking options without compromising on taste.
Dry Crystal is crafted for uncompromised enjoyment, available as zero sugar in Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland and as low sugar in Taiwan, showcasing Asahi Super Dry’s commitment to meeting consumers’ needs for more mindful drinking options. (The above is a promotional image from Hong Kong)
Two years after its groundbreaking debut, this lighter innovation in beer is set to redefine mindful indulgence with enhanced functional benefits. The upgraded Dry Crystal maintains the standards of the iconic Super Dry taste while matching the modern consumer’s desire for a more balanced and mindful lifestyle. This represents Asahi Super Dry’s unwavering commitment to anticipating and exceeding consumer expectations, proving that superior taste and active lifestyle are not mutually exclusive, but perfectly harmonious.
Uncompromised living meets Japanese excellence: Award-winning star Ryusei Yokohama leads the era of “New Moderation”
Dry Crystal offers a smarter choice for those who refuse to compromise – delivering the crisp, refreshing notes of their favorite beer while enabling an active, balanced lifestyle. This campaign, which showcases the new evolution of Dry Crystal, features brand ambassador Ryusei Yokohama. It also represents a lifestyle movement born from the philosophy of a brand ambassador who truly lives it. One of Japan’s top talents, Yokohama has earned critical acclaim, box-office success, and prestigious awards for his performances in movies like Shōtai (2024) and Kokuhō (2025). This partnership marks Yokohama’s first tie-up with an alcohol brand.
Dry Crystal powers Ryusei Yokohama’s life in motion
In the newest promotional video for the new Dry Crystal – the first-ever dedicated campaign video shot in Japan specifically for audiences in Taiwan and Hong Kong – values of balance, intentional choice, and living without compromise are portrayed through Ryusei Yokohama himself, naturally overlapping with Dry Crystal’s promise. The campaign showcases his dynamic daily rhythm, from intense training sessions to creative work on set.
In each scene, Dry Crystal becomes Yokohama’s natural choice. Its lighter formulation delivers the authentic Asahi Super Dry taste while supporting peak performance, resonating with the growing new moderation movement that values choice and balance.
Hong Kong and Taiwan are key markets for Dry Crystal, and this campaign film reflects this. The video is produced specifically for these audiences, rather than adapting to a global notion. Japan is a strategic choice for shooting the film, as it allows for conveying the connection to the Asahi brand, which very closely resonates with consumers in the two markets. By creating a compelling narrative for Hong Kong and Taiwan audiences, Asahi Super Dry signals a deeper market commitment, sharper cultural relevance, and greater media flexibility.
The new Dry Crystal is available in supermarkets, online and select restaurants across Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan. For more information about the new Asahi Super Dry, please visit (https://www.asahisuperdry.com/). Hashtag: #AsahiSuperDry

Singapore and Hong Kong share a substantive relationship, grounded in regular high-level engagement. These include the Prime Minister of Singapore’s official visit to Hong Kong last month, during which he met with the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and visited the Hong Kong Park of the Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Co-operation Zone (the Hong Kong Park in the Loop). The I&T connection also features HKSTP-led delegations to Singapore platforms such as Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH) and SLINGSHOT 2025, etc. Over the past year, more than 100 HKSTP park companies explored Southeast Asian opportunities, securing over HK$25 million in confirmed business deals with additional potential contracts exceeding HK$20 million directly supported by HKSTP.

Seeing HKSTP’s park companies engage meaningfully with the global public safety ecosystem at MTX 2026 reflects exactly the kind of cross-border momentum we built this platform for. This MoU marks the beginning of something lasting: a structured pipeline that turns innovation into operational impact, as we work together to build a safer world.”
The collaboration between HKSTP and TechX is aimed to establish a comprehensive framework to identify, co-create, and validate operational public safety solutions. Under the partnership, HKSTP and its counterparts will move from identified needs to real deployment through annual solution scouting visits to Hong Kong Science Park, funding of around HK$600,000 (S$100,000) per company for proof-of-concept trials with Singapore Public Safety experts, and an ongoing exchange of challenges and insights. This demand-led model accelerates problem-solution fit and reinforces HKSTP’s leadership in regional safety technology collaboration.
The HKSTP Pavilion, themed “Hong Kong’s Technology for Public Safety and Security — Global Application and Global Impact,” featured 10 park companies showcasing solutions proven in deployments across Hong Kong enforcement departments, the Greater Bay Area, and Singapore-related projects.

MTX is the largest public safety conference in Southeast Asia, the HKSTP pavilion is strategically positioned within the startup-centric SPINN District, effectively facilitated targeted engagements, secured curated matching opportunities with Singapore government agencies for each participating company, and advanced pilot projects and partnerships.

TechX delivers its mission through two core areas of expertise: to build and to connect. TechX designs and develops innovation initiatives and programmes alongside partners from across the globe, including flagship platforms such as HTX’s Innovation Centre, Hatch — a structured innovation centre that gives frontier deep-tech a clear pathway to validate and deploy solutions for real public safety challenges. TechX also bridges industry, startups, and government agencies into a global network, producing landmark events such as Millipol TechX, and bringing international communities like DEF CON® to Singapore for the first time.
With active partnerships spanning over 30 ecosystems globally — from Hong Kong to South Korea, and the United States, TechX sits at the heart of a growing worldwide alliance united by one ambition: Bringing Together a Safer World.
