Satori Kato
Satori Kato was a Japanese chemist.[1] Kato was initially thought to be the inventor of the first soluble instant coffee whilst working in Chicago, after filing a patent in 1901 and exhibiting the product at the Pan-American Exposition[2] until it was realised that David Strang of Invercargill, New Zealand had invented the product two years earlier.[3]
