# MacroGaijin — Turn What You Have Into Something Worth Cooking

Your ingredients become the starting point. MacroGaijin uses **chef principles, food-pairing knowledge, and food science** to create recipes around what you already have, suggesting optional additional ingredients when they can make the dish even better.

**冷蔵庫の食材から、料理のプロの知識を活かしたレシピを提案。**

## 📸 FROM PHOTO TO RECIPE!

Photograph your ingredients or fridge and let MacroGaijin do the searching and organising. Turn what you already have into recipe ideas in **English and Japanese**.

**食材や冷蔵庫を撮影するだけ。日本語・英語でレシピを提案します。**

MacroGaijin connects your recipes with **English and Japanese ingredient names**, making it easier to understand what you have and what you may need to find at the supermarket.

**食材名を日本語・英語で表示。買い物ももっと簡単に。**

Want something different? Explore another idea or **Remix your recipe** using advanced flavour-balancing principles to better match what you want to eat.

**味のバランスを考えてレシピをRemix。自分好みの一皿に。**

## 🛒 ONE SHOPPING LIST. ONE SUPERMARKET TRIP!

If you're a foreigner living or travelling in Japan, take the **Japanese ingredient names** with you to the supermarket. If you're Japanese and cooking or living abroad, use the **English names** to find familiar ingredients in an unfamiliar store.

**日本では日本語、海外では英語の食材名を確認。海外での買い物をもっと簡単に。**

Already have half the recipe? MacroGaijin focuses your shopping list on **what you're actually missing**, instead of asking you to buy everything again.

**家にある食材は除外して、必要なものだけを買い物リストに。**

Ingredients identified from your kitchen can start already checked. Discover that you're actually missing something? Simply untick it and it moves directly onto your shopping list.

**冷蔵庫にある食材はチェック済み。足りないものだけ簡単にリストへ追加。**

Planning several dishes? Combine missing ingredients from multiple recipes into **one practical shopping list** instead of organising each recipe separately.

**複数のレシピに必要な食材を、ひとつの買い物リストにまとめられます。**

Items can include **estimated prices in yen and rarity information for Japan**, helping you understand not only what you need, but also what may be harder to find.

**日本での推定価格や食材の見つけやすさも確認できます。**

Prices and availability can change, so estimates are clearly presented as estimates.

**価格や在庫情報は目安として表示されます。**

## 🍳 MAKE YOUR KITCHEN YOURS!

Save the recipes worth making again and build your own personal collection.

**お気に入りのレシピを保存して、自分だけのレシピコレクションを。**

Photograph your finished dishes, rate what you cook, explore flavour profiles, and share your recipes or shopping lists.

**作った料理を撮影・評価。レシピや買い物リストもシェアできます。**

Over time, MacroGaijin becomes more than a place to find recipes. It becomes a history of what you've **cooked, discovered, and made your own**.

**作った料理や新しい発見を、自分だけの食の記録として残せます。**

## 🌏 COOK WHEREVER YOU ARE!

MacroGaijin began with a simple idea: **great food shouldn't become difficult just because the supermarket around you speaks another language.**

**言葉や国が変わっても、おいしい料理をもっと身近に。**

Whether you're discovering Japanese ingredients for the first time, a Japanese cook navigating supermarkets abroad, or simply wondering what to make with what's already in your fridge, MacroGaijin is designed to make that journey easier.

**日本の食材を初めて使う人も、海外で暮らす日本人も、冷蔵庫にあるもので料理したい人も。**

**Take a photo. See what you have. Turn it into something worth eating.**

**撮って、見つけて、おいしい一皿へ。**

いただきます。
**Let's cook.**
