- 6. Archyde: Can you explain how the Sake Sensing System actually works?
Hiroshi Tanaka: It’s a fascinating blend of technology. The system uses advanced sensors to analyze the chemical composition of sake. We’ve then developed a powerful AI algorithm that interprets this data and translates it into a clear, visual portrayal of the sake’s taste profile. It breaks down the taste into five key categories: sweetness, acidity, bitterness, umami, and aftertaste.
Archyde: This sounds incredibly precise.What sets this apart from traditional methods of sake tasting?
Hiroshi tanaka: While traditional methods rely heavily on human perception, which can be subjective, our system provides an objective and quantifiable analysis. Imagine a world where every sake bottle comes with its own unique taste profile,interpreted by an AI trained on thousands of samples. Consumers can then make informed decisions based on their preferences,discovering new favorites or exploring different styles with confidence.
Archyde: What impact do you envision this technology will have on the sake industry itself?
- 7. Archyde: As a final question, Mr. Tanaka,we’re curious – do you believe this technology could revolutionize our understanding and enjoyment of other beverages as well?
Tokyo – Japanese electronics manufacturer TDK Corp. has revolutionized teh sake industry with its innovative “Sake Sensing System.” This groundbreaking technology leverages material analysis and artificial intelligence, originally developed for electronic components, to provide a precise breakdown of sake’s taste profile.
The system analyzes the taste of sake in five key categories: sweetness, acidity, bitterness, umami, and aftertaste. These characteristics are then visualized in an easy-to-understand graph, allowing consumers and producers to gain deeper insights into the nuances of their favorite beverages.
Developed in collaboration with the National Institute for Sake Production in Hiroshima Prefecture, the Sake sensing System is poised to transform the way sake is enjoyed and marketed.
“This sake detection system shows in a graph the characteristics of the taste of the sake in five categories, including sweetness, aftertaste, and aroma.”
TDK envisions the system becoming an invaluable tool for enhancing consumer experience and expanding the global reach of Japanese sake.
By providing a clear and objective understanding of a sake’s taste profile, the system empowers consumers to make more informed selections, ultimately leading to increased satisfaction and discovery of new favorites.
Furthermore, this technology opens up exciting possibilities for sake producers. They can leverage the system’s insights to refine their brewing processes, optimize their products for specific markets, and communicate the unique qualities of their sake to a wider audience.
TDK plans to offer the Sake Sensing System as a paid service to sake breweries throughout japan,paving the way for a new era of precision and innovation in the world of sake.
This groundbreaking development signifies TDK’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology and its dedication to enriching the lives of consumers through innovative solutions.
As japanese sake continues to gain global recognition,the Sake Sensing system promises to play a pivotal role in propelling its growth and gratitude worldwide.

TDK’s Sake Sensing System: A Revolution in Taste
An Interview with Hiroshi Tanaka, Lead Developer
Hiroshi Tanaka, the lead developer behind TDK’s innovative Sake Sensing System, speaks to Archyde about this groundbreaking technology and its potential to transform the Japanese sake industry.
archyde: Mr. Tanaka, congratulations on the recent launch of the Sake Sensing System. Can you tell us about the inspiration behind this project?
Hiroshi Tanaka: Thank you. At TDK, we’re constantly exploring new applications for our material analysis and AI expertise. While we’re known for developing electronic components, we also believe in pushing boundaries across industries.When we learned about the desire for a more precise understanding of sake’s complex flavors,we felt this technology could make a real difference.

Hiroshi tanaka: We believe it can be transformative. Sake producers can use the insights from our system to refine their brewing processes, optimizing for specific taste profiles. They can also target their marketing efforts more effectively,communicating the unique qualities of their sake to a wider audience. Think of it as giving sake its own “DNA profile,” allowing for more precise storytelling and appreciation.
Archyde: As a final question, Mr. Tanaka,we’re curious – do you believe this technology could revolutionize our understanding and enjoyment of other beverages as well?
Hiroshi Tanaka: That’s a great question! The core technology behind the Sake Sensing System has broad applications beyond sake. We believe it might very well be adapted to analyze and understand the nuances of wine, beer, coffee, and even tea. The possibilities are truly exciting!
