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. 【Main Features】 ・AI label recognition from bottle photos ・Supports wine, sake, whisky, shochu, and spirits ・Displays name, region, producer, aroma, and flavor ・Record ratings, short notes, and tasting memos ・Save entries with label photos ・Visualize your preferences with “Taste Profile” ・Discover an unopened path with “Next Bottle” ・Look back on past drinks in your history ・Sync records across devices 【Recommended For】 ・Remembering the name of a drink later ・Keeping bottles found while traveling or dining out ・Gradually putting your taste into words ・Recording wine, sake, whisky, and shochu in one place ・Finding a quiet clue for what to drink next A drink does not end when the glass is empty.
