I tried using 'Cheezam!', Which AI automatically identifies cheese and tells you even recommended wines.

Many cheese lovers have the experience of seeing delicious cheese on SNS posts and thinking, 'I don't know the name of the cheese, but I want to try it.' However,

it is said that there are more than 1000 types of cheese, so it is not easy to know what kind of cheese it is just by looking at it. In such a case, if you use 'Cheezam! ', Which AI automatically determines the type of cheese, you can see the cheese in the image or photo in one shot, so I actually tried using it.

Cheezam! By Prevision.IO --Computer Vision with AI for cheese
https://cheezam.fr/

When you access the above URL, it looks like this. It's easy to use, first click the button in the red frame.

Then select the image of the cheese you want to look up and click Open.

Then, in

addition to the judgment result of 'Morbier ', recommended wines were also displayed. Morbier, which features a black layer made of edible charcoal, is said to be suitable for the French Brouilly wine ' Domaine Dema,' Prélude ' '.

Then, when I uploaded an image of Camembert cheese on the Internet, the answer was

'Pon L'Eveque'. Pont-l'Eveque is the same cheese from the Normandy region of France as Camembert, so it's not too far away if you don't hit it. The wine ' CARDINAL ' from Chateauneuf du Pape was perfect for Pont-L'Eveque.

If you use a device with a camera such as a smartphone or tablet, you can take a picture of the actual cheese and have AI judge it. To use it, tap the button with the red frame as before.

Tap 'Take photo or video'.

Take a picture of cheese with your smartphone camera.

Tap Use Photo.

Then, even though it was blue cheese, it was judged as

'picode'.

I uploaded only the cheese peas, considering the possibility that it could not be judged correctly because the cut end mixed with blue mold did not appear large, but the result was a cheese '

Chauurs ' covered with white mold.

'Cheezam!' Is an AI that learned French cheese. 'Blue cheese' itself is a big category, and when it comes to authentic blue cheese, you can see blue mold all over the cut, so it may not be possible to judge it well with cheese that is commercially available as blue cheese at Japanese supermarkets.
