What KIKI can do
KIKI is a free app that tells you what a sake, shochu or awamori is from a photo of its label, with its taste, rating, value and shop prices. Label scan, bottle pages, the stamp book and the Feed are free; taste match, the AI assistant Ask KIKI and Feed+ are Premium.
What does a label scan tell you?
Point the camera at a label and, without pressing a button, KIKI names the exact bottle in seconds. Across 27,000+ bottles it tells two of one brand apart, junmai ginjo from daiginjo and nama from pasteurised.
You don't need to read Japanese.
What is on a bottle page?
Its taste as five lines (dry–sweet, light–rich, aroma, umami, acidity), the rating, a value score against similar bottles, prices at Rakuten, Yahoo! Shopping and the brewery's own shop, food that goes with it and the temperature to serve it at.
What do you collect in the stamp book?
Stamps, like the seals of a temple book. Ratings, scans, a trip through the 47 prefectures, breweries and kinds of drink fill one cloth-bound book, and its pages turn under your finger like paper.
Finish one of its 14 chapters and a title shows under your name. Hidden stamps stay secret until you find them, and each silver stamp gives you a free month of Premium.
What comes to the Feed?
Your friends' ratings and posts, the day's sake news, brewery open days and festivals, and breweries' seasonal bottles come to one column on the app's home screen.
How does taste match work?
Rate 5 bottles and KIKI learns the taste you like. From then on every bottle, tried or not, shows how close it is to your taste, from 1 to 99. Tap the number to see your taste zone and where the bottle sits on a taste map.
What can you ask KIKI?
Ask KIKI is an AI assistant you ask in your own words. It answers down to the exact bottle, from KIKI's catalogue and prices and from your ratings.
Example questions
Up to 30 questions a day. Prices and ratings come straight from KIKI's data, never from the AI's words.
What does Feed+ add?
Follow the breweries and prefectures you like and their new seasonal and limited bottles, release days and events come to a tab of their own in the Feed. Set a reminder on an event and the app tells you the day before.
