About B-Kyu Gourmet Match
Japanese B-gourmet is one of the world's most diverse and beautiful drinks — yet outside Japan, most people feel lost choosing one. We built B-Kyu Gourmet Match to fix that.
Our Mission
To make Japanese B-gourmet approachable, exciting, and personally relevant to every drinker worldwide — without the gatekeeping.
What we do
- A free 20-question diagnostic that maps your taste profile
- Personalized recommendations from a curated database of 452 dishes from 47 prefectures
- Country-aware suggestions that account for your local cuisine and palate
- Direct buying links to trusted retailers (Amazon, Amazon)
- Education on brewing methods, regions, and pairings
What we DON'T do
- Sell or ship alcohol ourselves
- Charge for the diagnostic — it's free, forever
- Hide our recommendations behind paywalls
- Collect data we don't need
How we make money
When you click an affiliate link and purchase from a partner retailer (Amazon, Rakuten, Amazon, etc.), we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. That's our entire business model — no ads, no premium tier locked content, no selling your data.
Editorial independence
Our recommendation algorithm is based on objective food characteristics (richness, texture, flavor, region) and your stated preferences. Affiliate partnerships do not influence rankings. We will never accept payment to feature a specific sake.
The team
B-Kyu Gourmet Match is a small independent project by sake lovers, for sake lovers. We're based in Japan and we work with sake experts to verify our database.
