## What is Sakeshirube?

Just photograph the label.
That drink becomes part of your tasting journal.

Sakeshirube is an app for reading and recording the bottles you encounter — wine, sake, whisky, shochu, and spirits.

Take a photo of the bottle label, and AI identifies the drink, showing its region, producer, aroma, flavor, and finish.
A bottle you loved, a pour you discovered while traveling, or a glass you happened upon at a bar can all be quietly kept in your own tasting journal.

As your records grow, your taste begins to take shape.
Which aromas draw you in. Which flavors you return to.
Sakeshirube turns each record into a guide toward the next bottle.

Aroma, place, time, memory.
Keep each pour in your own almanac of taste.
