Explore the New AI Wine Experience in Tokyo

On August 6, 2026, Broad Edge Wearlink Inc. will unveil AI WINE SHOP & BISTRO Sommia in Ebisu, Tokyo. This innovative venue combines the prowess of technology with the fine art of wine selection to create a unique interactive experience for wine enthusiasts and novices alike.

Meet Sommia: Your AI Wine Sommelier

Sommia is not just any sommelier. Equipped with advanced AI capabilities, Sommia interacts with customers, learning their tastes and preferences through conversation. This means that even if you can't articulate what you like in a wine, Sommia can help you discover it. Whether you are daunted by complicated wine labels or unsure about pairing wine with food, Sommia is designed to break down these barriers without overwhelming customers with too much technical jargon.

Hands-On Experience at AI WINE SHOP Sommia

Inside the shop, over 1,000 wine varieties from approximately 20 countries await, neatly categorized by color and flavor profile. No prior wine knowledge? No problem! Customers can sample wines and simply communicate their impressions to Sommia, who will synthesize that feedback to recommend the best bottle.

What Can You Do at AI WINE SHOP Sommia?

• - Tasting Diagnosis: Compare red and white wines, and Sommia will classify your wine preferences into one of 17 categories.
• - Flavor-Based Wine Shelves: Sommia will guide you directly to the recommended section of the store, showing you where your ideal wine is located.
• - Wine List Scanning: By just taking a photo of the store's wine list, Sommia can rearrange the options to highlight your preferences.
• - Sommia Talk: Instant responses about wine features, pairing options, and recommendations! The more you visit, the more precise Sommia's suggestions will become.

When you have completed your tasting diagnosis, Sommia will guide you to the perfect bottle within the store, emphasizing the conversational aspect of discovering your ideal wine instead of rote memorization.

Enjoy Your Wine Discovery in Two Unique Ways

After discovering your ideal wine, you can choose between two enjoyable options:

1. Take-Home Diagnosis Plan: Complete your wine selection process in the store, making it easy to enjoy it at home.
2. Diagnosis + Pairing Plan: Bring the bottle directly to the WINE BISTRO Sommia, a restaurant next door, and explore food pairings with Sommia explaining why each dish complements your chosen wine.
