[Sake-Specialized Service "SAKEMAP"] Realizing a Platform to Redefine the "Sake Experience Market" by Connecting Breweries, Restaurants, and Users!

Our company supports April Dream, an initiative that turns April 1st into a day for sharing dreams. This press release outlines the dream of mi-ta Co., Ltd.

mi-ta Co., Ltd. (Location: Kawasaki City, Kanagawa; Representative Director: Miki Arima), which has specialized in web content production (website creation, SEO, article writing, etc.) and solved challenges for various industries like logistics, housing equipment, and leisure facilities through digital power, will launch the sake-specialized service "SAKEMAP" in March 2027.

[Background of the Dream] To preserve sake culture for the next 100 years

Japanese sake has value beyond just being an alcoholic beverage. It embodies local nature, culture, tradition, and the passion of its creators. Each bottle contains a story, and its cultural value is recognized globally. However, domestic consumption has been declining since its peak in the 1970s, leaving many breweries in financial difficulty. Furthermore, in recent years, sake production itself is facing unprecedented crises, such as changes in rice quality due to climate change. We have decided to maximize our expertise in solving problems through "the power of web content" to ensure that our beloved sake and its wonderful culture remain for generations 100 years from now.

Toward a platform that redefines the sake experience market

In preparation for the March 2027 launch, we are building a platform that goes beyond mere information dissemination to "redefine the sake experience market." This platform will provide the following experiences:

Sake Log (Optimization by AI)

An AI learns the user's past drinking tendencies and taste preferences. By simply holding a smartphone camera over a sake label, users can easily record (log) it, and the system instantly calculates the "one bottle that fits you best right now." We will create a world where no one "fails in choosing sake."

Maximizing the "Story Experience" direct from breweries

Beyond just reading articles, users can experience the atmosphere of the brewery and the commitment of the Toji (master brewer) through VR and live streaming. We will use our SEO expertise to appropriately deliver the wonderful "stories" of small local breweries to fans worldwide.

Search for restaurants specialized in sake

Based on recommended user data, we will provide a function to find famous restaurants highly recommended by sake enthusiasts and breweries. We will create a place where you can encounter the best glass and the best pairings.

Sake Events

To bring online connections back to reality, we will plan numerous events such as brewery tours, providing a place where creators and users can interact directly.

[Current Efforts] Sake Information Media "SAKEMAP"

Prior to the completion of the platform, we are currently focusing on dissemination through the information media "SAKEMAP" (https://sake-map.com/) and Instagram (@sakemap / @sakemap.mii). We conduct independent interviews with breweries that continue to take innovative challenges, such as making sake entirely from table rice or using the world's first LED light fermentation. We also deliver the deep charm and new ways to enjoy sake, including event information from across the country and seasonal pairings.

Message from the Representative

"Sake has a mysterious power to connect people and enrich the heart. However, I have repeatedly witnessed situations where breweries with wonderful passion and technology stand in a predicament without the opportunity to be known. By combining the digital and web power we have cultivated in other industries, we can certainly solve this challenge. Instead of just drinking, one can deeply learn 'who made it and with what thoughts' and taste it as an experience. Spreading such a new way to enjoy sake and connecting this proud culture to the generation 100 years from now is my mission and greatest dream."
