Stop losing track of that great junmai you loved last week. Just rate five taste axes—aroma, sweetness, acidity, umami and finish— and your tendencies appear on the four-type sake map (Kunshu, Soshu, Junshu, Jukushu). — Features — - Quick five-axis tasting notes with a simple star rating - Four-type sake map that visualizes where your taste sits - Origin map that pins the local sake you’ve tried across Japan - Serving-temperature guide, from chilled to warm kan - A shelf for labels: class, polishing ratio, SMV, rice variety - Photos and notes to remember each cup and pairing - Stats radar and trend insights to review your palate - On supported devices, on-device AI suggests your taste tendency - Export to CSV / PDF, plus a gentle daily reminder — Who it’s for — - Anyone who keeps forgetting which sake they enjoyed - Drinkers who want to put their preferences into words - Tasting and brewery-hopping hobbyists building a record - People who dislike social “follow/share” apps and prefer quiet logging - Anyone who’d rather not send drink logs to the cloud — Privacy & peace of mind — SakeLogAI works fully offline. No account needed. Your notes and photos stay on your device only and are never sent to an external server.
