SAKE GROWTH AI PLATFORM & SAKE GUIDE

Help the world understand your sake.

Brewery knowledge, useful to the trade and meaningful to the drinker. Sake Growth AI supports business information. Sake Guide supports consumer understanding and choice.

Our broader mission is useful knowledge infrastructure for Japan’s traditional industries, beginning with sake. We organise brewery-confirmed facts and stories for reuse across languages and uses. Maps and articles invite discovery; trusted knowledge connects that discovery to business conversations and everyday choices.

THE PROBLEMS WE WORK ON

For the people who make sake, explain it and enjoy it.

FOR BREWERIES

Your story, accurately represented.

Does every overseas request mean another round of finding, checking and rewriting information?

Work with us on source-linked product records, open questions and Japanese / English explanation drafts.

B2B · Brewery-led knowledge

FOR IMPORTERS, RETAIL & HOSPITALITY

Product differences, easier to explain.

Does explaining sake terminology or checking an old sheet take more time than it should?

Discuss a trial that organises information for a defined trade meeting, product sheet or staff explanation.

B2B · Information for the trade

FOR SAKE DRINKERS

Understand the bottle in front of you.

Labels, taste, food and occasions: useful cues make choosing sake less unfamiliar.

Sake Guide is being developed around entry points for understanding labels and exploring by preference, meal and gift occasion.

B2C · Understanding and choice

TWO PRODUCTS · ONE KNOWLEDGE FOUNDATION

A Platform for the business. An App for the drinker.

Brewery facts and descriptions are the foundation. Connecting trade and consumer experiences to that same knowledge is our platform vision.

B2B / ORGANISE AND REUSE

Sake Growth AI Platform

A foundation for product and brewery knowledge, with sources, reviewers, versions and permissions, prepared for overseas communication.

  • Product passport: sake-specific facts, character and sources
  • Market materials: JA / EN sheets and explanation drafts
  • Update record: changes, questions and next revisions

Now: discuss a small, team-led trial. AI questions and demand insights are explored within defined demo and research scopes.

B2C / UNDERSTAND AND CHOOSE

Sake Guide

A consumer app for people discovering Japanese sake, helping them understand the bottle and consider what fits their taste and occasion.

  • An entry point for understanding a label
  • Discovery by preference, meal and gift occasion
  • The brewery story and product character

Now: an actual home screen is shown. The app is in development.

We aim to reuse reviewed knowledge in both products and bring questions back into updates. Connected data, automated updates and demand insights remain development and validation work.

THE SERVICE WORKFLOW

From brewery knowledge to useful information, then back to learning.

AI assists organisation and drafting. People make official decisions. A team-led trial lets us test this workflow at a useful, manageable scale.

  1. 01

    Agree the sources and use

    Labels, specifications and existing translations. Define the market, audience, purpose and permission to use the material.

    WHAT YOU KEEPSource inventory and open questions

  2. 02

    Structure the knowledge

    Organise products, history, brewing and taste. Keep conflicts and unknowns visible, linked to the original material.

    WHAT YOU KEEPDraft product passport

  3. 03

    Review with the brewery

    Review official facts, descriptions, translation and sharing permission separately. Record who decided, why and which version.

    WHAT YOU KEEPReview record and JA / EN drafts

  4. 04

    Adapt to overseas use

    Reuse information for trade sheets and staff explanations. App use is a direction to explore when functionality and permission allow.

    WHAT YOU KEEPMaterials for agreed uses and recipients

  5. 05

    Bring questions back

    Return recipient questions and corrections to the reviewer. Usage and demand-signal analysis remain future validation themes.

    WHAT YOU KEEPOpen issues, updates and a review

TWO WAYS INTO SAKE KNOWLEDGE

Discover the place. Understand the sake.

Maps and articles are open entry points for learning about sake. Places, craft and language provide context for product explanations and the consumer experience.

Open the Japan brewery map

EXPLORE BREWERIES / EXISTING DIRECTORY

Explore Japan’s breweries on the map.

The existing directory lets you explore breweries by Japanese region and prefecture, with sources and verification status on brewery pages.

Public-source listings do not imply partnerships, customers or paid promotion. We do not claim verified overseas brewery coverage.

INSIGHTS / JOURNAL

Sake, through time and place.

Published writing on brewing, place and culture: a space to learn about sake beyond our own products.

WHAT WE PUT AT THE CENTRE

Sources, useful outputs and the next update.

When comparing services, we look beyond where information appears: who confirms it, how it is used and how it can be corrected. Three choices shape our approach.

Brewery-led knowledge

The brewery reviews official facts and descriptions. Sources and review decisions remain part of the product record.

Product records and review history

One foundation for B2B and B2C

We aim to connect trade materials and consumer explanations to shared knowledge through the Platform and App.

Use-specific drafts and a connected-product vision

Knowledge that can keep improving

Track versions, intended use, questions and corrections so completed work can support the next revision.

Version records, changes and a review

Capabilities and contracts vary by provider. These are the priorities we design and validate, rather than claims about every other platform.

PARTNERS TO LEARN WITH

Start with a real overseas use.

A trade meeting, a retail explanation or information for an existing importer. We hope to work with breweries and businesses that have a specific use, value accurate communication and can review the information with us.

We respect existing importers, wholesalers and retailers, and aim to make information more useful within those relationships.

Start with a 20-minute conversation.

  1. Discuss your current communication and difficulties
  2. If there is a fit, define products and useful outputs
  3. Agree fees, schedule and review effort before a trial

Terms are agreed for each project, without a blanket free-service commitment or sales guarantee.
