SAKE PAIRING

What it does

Overview
This application is an AI service that pairs Japanese sake or chu-hi with selected dishes. For Japanese sake, it suggests two types, and for chu-hi, it recommends two flavors.

Background
While there are various types of Japanese sake and chu-hi, there are very few services or individuals capable of providing appropriate pairings. This aspect has somewhat remained a black box. Recently, the number of foreign visitors to Japan has exceeded 3 million per month. This service was created to introduce these visitors to the enjoyment of Japanese alcohol, especially those unfamiliar with it.

Gemini API Specifications
In this service, the type of alcohol and the dish image selected by the user are sent to the Gemini API. The API processes the image, generates a description of the appropriate type of alcohol for the dish using LLM data, and displays the result in the UI. The output is designed to be easy to understand, with markdown formatting for clarity. This service leverages Gemini's strength as a multimodal LLM, allowing for quick and accurate image processing. To achieve a balance between speed and quality, we opted for Gemini 1.5 Flash. After comparing various LLMs and checking the accuracy (validity) of the pairing suggestions, Gemini was found to have the highest precision, with an impressive accuracy rate of 96.25% (77 correct pairings out of 80). This is a unique service that showcases the strengths of Gemini and offers something only AI can provide.
