Sakenote is for anyone who wants to record what they drink, understand their taste, and find their next favorite sake. ■ Snap a label, let AI fill in the rest Point your camera at a bottle label and AI automatically recognizes the name, brewery, grade, and rice-polishing ratio. Free 10 times a month, and you can earn more by sharing a review or logging a purchase. Barcode lookup and manual entry are always free. ■ Never forget what you drank Keep your cellar and tasting history in one place — ratings, a 5-axis flavor profile (aroma, sweetness, acidity, body, cleanness), food pairings, who you drank with, and where. ■ Is it ready to drink? Based on the bottling date, AI estimates whether now is the right time to drink it and whether it needs to be chilled. ■ How well does it match your taste? The more you log, the sharper your taste profile gets — see at a glance which flavors, regions, and grades you gravitate toward. ■ Where can I buy this? Find nearby shops that carry a sake you like, right on the map — sorted by distance or browsed by region. ■ Bars that pour the rare stuff Discover sake-focused bars and izakayas across Japan, with notes on what rare bottles they carry and what the vibe is like. ■ Conquer all of Japan Your map fills in as you log sake from more regions — see how many of Japan's 47 prefectures you can complete. ■ Wishlist Keep track of sake you're curious about or want to buy again. ■ English, Korean, and Japanese Use it seamlessly whether you're at home or traveling in Japan. Sign in and your records are safely backed up to the cloud, so you can pick up right where you left off on a new device.
