SakeYō — Find Sake You Like
Scan a bottle. See your match.
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
At a restaurant, at a shop, wondering whether you'll like a sake — we've got you. Scan the bottle or the list and every one comes back scored against your palate.
SakeYō reads the label and tells you what's in the bottle, and whether you'll like it.
Point the camera at the front label, then the back. You get the brewery, the prefecture, the grade, the rice, the polishing ratio, the acidity, and the temperature it's best at, from cold to atsukan. You also get a number: how well this bottle fits your palate. That number is the point of the app.
YOUR PALATE
Seven questions, about a minute. How sweet you take your coffee. How much body you want in a drink. Fruit or earth. From that we place you on the four axes that describe every sake, and every bottle in the app is scored against you. Rate what you drink and the score sharpens. After about fifty bottles your ratings take over and the quiz fades out.
THE MENU
At a restaurant, photograph the sake list. We read every line, find the bottles we know, and rank them for your palate. When we can't confirm a bottle is the exact one on the list, we say so.
WHAT TO DRINK WITH DINNER
Start with the dish. Nearly fifteen hundred of them, from yakitori and unagi to laksa and a cheese you can't pronounce. We name the style that works, tell you why it works, and write out the sentence to say to the server. Or start with the bottle and we'll tell you what to eat with it. At home, we rank what's already on your shelf against tonight's dinner.
YOUR RECORD
The diary is what you've tasted: rating, notes, a photo, where you were, how warm it was served, what you drank it from. If you've done a WSET course, there's a full Level 3 tasting grid. The cellar is what you own. It reads the bottling date off the back label and works out the drinking window, so a nama doesn't sit in the fridge a year past its best. It tells you when to open things.
JAPAN
Where we eat and drink. Bars, restaurants and sake shops you can walk into, with where to sit, what to order and how to book. A twelve-seat basement counter in Kagurazaka. A bottle shop under Tokyo Station open from seven in the morning. A map of the forty-seven prefectures that fills in as you drink and as you visit.
THE PEOPLE
See what your friends are drinking. Find members whose palate matches yours. Tastings, dinners and festivals on a calendar, and a bottle share in Singapore that's on its thirty-eighth edition. Post that you're out tonight and see who turns up.
THE GAME
Put every bottle on the table in a bag and pass the phone. Grade, sweetness, body, style, pasteurization, region. Someone at the table is going to be worse at this than they thought.
LEARN
Sake 101 in seven topics, a glossary in plain English, and a guide to each style with the sentence to say to a bartender in Japan, in Japanese, with the romaji.
810 bottles from 227 breweries, every one with its real numbers behind it. New ones go in every week. Scan one we don't have and you can help us add it.
For adults of legal drinking age. Please drink sensibly.
Scan a bottle we don't have yet and it no longer dead-ends. The label goes into our catalogue queue, and you can save it to your diary while you wait.
Events look three months ahead instead of one, two-day festivals show both dates, and Japan events now sit on the rail alongside the local ones.
Finish the taste quiz and the app now knows it — your palate card and match scores update straight away instead of still asking you to take the quiz.
Faster scanning and faster match scores, plus fixes to the pairing sheets and the blind-tasting reveal.
