## What is Milk Checker?

Milk Checker

Milk Checker helps international travelers easily identify milk and soy milk products in Japan.

Many cartons in Japanese convenience stores and supermarkets are labeled only in Japanese. For visitors who cannot read Japanese, it can be difficult to choose the right product.

Milk Checker solves this problem instantly.

Simply take a photo of a carton, and the app will identify whether it is milk or soy milk — and show the exact type.

The app detects common categories such as:

• Whole Milk  
• Low-fat Milk  
• Non-fat / Skim Milk  
• Unsweetened Soy Milk  
• Original Soy Milk  
• Flavored Soy Milk  

No Japanese reading required.

Whether you’re visiting Japan for a short trip or staying longer, Milk Checker makes shopping quick, easy, and stress-free.

How it works  
1. Open Milk Checker  
2. Take a photo of a carton  
3. The app instantly identifies the product  

Designed especially for travelers exploring Japan’s convenience stores and supermarkets.

Enjoy Japan without language barriers.
