THE PROBLEM

01

Memory fades faster than taste.

Kumamoto, Kusshi, Olympia, this farm versus that bay. Without a log, even enthusiasts forget what they loved.

02

Discovery is broken.

Restaurant apps tell you a place has oysters. They do not tell you which ones, or whether they are worth ordering.

03

Recommendations die in group chats.

Friends share the best spots over text and they are lost within a week.
