There are thousands of sake out there, and most of us can't read the labels. SakeYō learns what you like, tells you what to eat with it, and shows you where to find the good stuff in Japan and Singapore — no special vocabulary required.
Coming soon to the App Store
Most sake apps assume you already know what you want. We do it the other way around, which is how people actually eat. Tell SakeYō you're having oysters — or yakitori, or a bowl of curry — and it tells you which kind of sake goes with it, why it works, and what to say so the person behind the counter knows you mean it. This is the part people keep telling us they can't get anywhere else.
Every good bottle comes with a story — the brewery, the family, the town it's from. We go find them, and write them down.
Real recommendations for sake and the food that goes with it — the bars, breweries, restaurants and shops worth a detour — across Japan and Singapore. Sorted by prefecture when you're traveling and by neighborhood when you're home, with a Passport that keeps track of everywhere you've been.
Follow local sommeliers and sake people and see what they're into right now — the bottles they reach for, not the ones they're paid to talk about. It's the inside track, without the part where you have to corner an expert at a party.
Answer a few questions about how you like to drink and SakeYō builds a picture of your palate. Then every bottle gets a score for how well it fits you — like a friend who's tried everything and remembers what you ordered last time.
Write down what you drank and what you thought — temperature, the cup, who you were with. Over time it adds up to a surprisingly good map of your taste.
Track the bottles you own and when to open them, so nothing good dies in the back of the fridge.
Point your camera at a bottle and SakeYō tells you what it is — handy when the whole label is in kanji.
A calendar of tastings, dinners, workshops and brewery visits across Singapore and Japan. Filter it, save the ones you want, show up.
Seven things worth knowing in Sake 101, a plain-English glossary for the label, and stories about the people who make it.
Built in Singapore by people who drink a lot of sake, so you don't have to guess.
