Gourmo: Menu Translator

Translators translate words. Gourmo explains food, reads packaging and keeps your Japan tax-free shopping on track. PACKAGING: INGREDIENTS & ALLERGENS (new) Switch "Menu | Packaging" and photograph the ingredient list on any food package: snacks, sweets, ready meals, sauces. Japanese, Korean, Chinese, European and other labels. • What the product is and the full ingredient list in your language • Allergens: the 14 EU categories plus buckwheat (required on Japanese labels), including "may contain" factory warnings • Vegetarian, vegan, contains pork or alcohol, flagging hidden ones like gelatin, lard, fish stock and mirin MY ALLERGIES AND DIET Mark your allergies and diet once in Profile. Packaging gets a clear verdict: "Fits your profile", "Not for you" or "Check before eating". In menus, dishes with your allergens or against your diet get a red mark. JAPAN TAX-FREE TRACKER From November 1, 2026 Japan moves tax-free shopping to a refund method: tourists pay with tax, then get the consumption tax back after a customs check at departure. • Start a trip with your departure date and airport • Scan each receipt (automatic cropping): AI reads the shop, date and items, translates them and finds the tax and refund operator. Or enter a receipt manually • Warnings when a shop's purchases on one day are under ¥5,000 without tax, or when the 90-day export limit ends before departure • "Unused" and "in carry-on" checkmarks for every item: customs checks the whole receipt, so one missing or used item can cancel the refund for it • Status: bought → customs done → refund received, with the actual amount • Reminders before departure and a departure checklist The tax shown is the tax printed on your receipts; the refund operator keeps a fee, so the refund is a little less. Receipts stay on your device; the photo is sent to the AI service only to read it. Unofficial app. Not affiliated with the Government of Japan or any tax refund operator. Rules may change; always check the official source.
