A note from the founder
Hey traveler,
You already know that confusion.
You're standing in front of a konbini shelf. Everything looks appealing... buty ou have no idea what's inside.
That's not a language barrier. It's a different world. Japanese food labels are built with kanji for locals, structured for people who can read them at a glance.
I built Okaasan because I lived that frustration. One scan, and you know exactly what you're eating: allergens, nutrition, price and all. That's all it takes.
‘Okaasan’ means ‘Mother’ in Japanese.
Like a Japanese mom reading labels for you, making sure you're not getting sick.
The problem

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.

Expat in Tokyo for 4 years
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.
