Stop guessing what you're eating

Japanese labels are difficult to read. One quick scan gives you the answer.

❌ Without Okaasan

  • You buy food without knowing what's really inside
  • Allergens like peanuts, dairy or shellfish are hidden in Japanese
  • Impossible to tell if it's Halal, Vegan, Kosher or Vegetarian

  • Alcohol or caffeine may be hidden in the ingredients
  • Additives and gluten appear under unfamiliar names
  • Google Translate gives messy text
  • Can't decode restaurant menus — ordering is a gamble

4.8 rating from users who shop better.

Before Okaasan I used Google Translate and had to scan labels line by line. It was slow and messy. Now I take one photo and understand the product in seconds.

I like that it shows the price in yen and in my own currency. When you're traveling it's much easier to know if something is actually cheap or not.

I can read Japanese, but ingredient labels are still dense and time-consuming. Okaasan summarizes allergens and nutrition instantly.

I track what I eat, but Japanese labels are hard to understand since I don't read it... but now with one photo I can instantly see calories and nutrition values.

Finding halal-friendly food in Japan is difficult when you can't read the ingredients. Okaasan warns me when something may not be halal. It makes shopping much safer.

FAQ

Is the free plan really free?
Yes. It allows 3 scans per month. No credit card required.
What counts as a scan?
Each photo you submit for analysis counts as one scan.
Do I need to speak Japanese?
No Japanese is required to use our services.
How accurate is the analysis?
While highly accurate on clear labels, AI may struggle with damaged or partially visible packaging. Always verify critical information like allergens and ingredients before consumption.
Is the Nutri-Score reliable for Japanese products?
Nutri-Score is an estimated score calculated from visible nutrition values developed in Europe. It provides a useful comparison tool and quick healthy check to any product, not a medical diagnosis.
Does it work in konbini and supermarkets?
Yes. Okaasan is designed for in-store use. Just snap the front and back of the package.
