I absolutely adore eating, yet when it comes to deciding ‘Where shall we eat next?’, I often find myself swayed by review scores or advertisements. But what I truly wanted to know was the raw, honest opinion of someone who had actually eaten there. One day, I realised my smartphone was filled with countless photos of meals I'd taken but never shared. ‘What if I could share these photos more casually?’ In that moment, the initial idea for FoodGram was born. It began as a modest concept: an app where you could intuitively choose places based solely on photos. Yet as development progressed, possibilities expanded far beyond expectations. Linking it to maps made it useful for travel; allowing anonymous posting made sharing more casual; and it could even serve as your personal food album. We repeatedly redesigned the UI, refined the posting flow, and enlisted help from friends overseas, gradually bringing us closer to creating ‘a place where food from around the world gathers’. Before we knew it, photos from 15 countries had been collected at launch, and FoodGram transformed from my personal app into a ‘food map nurtured by everyone’. We'd be delighted if FoodGram could help broaden your enjoyment of eating, even just a little. We'll keep improving it, so please feel free to give it a try!

Hey Ryutaro @iseruuuuu ,


Congrats on the launch of FoodGram! I love the idea of food discovery through real photos rather than reviews or ads—it feels much more authentic.


I'm curious, how's the response been so far? What kind of marketing strategies are you focusing on to get the word out and expand the app's reach? Would love to hear how things are going!"

Thank you for your comment!

I'm thrilled you have such a great perspective. I truly value the actual food photos and honest feedback!

In terms of response, posts from Japan are more active, with over 2,000 submissions. We also have international posts, with contributions from about 16 countries! Subscription-wise, it's still early days, but we generate about ¥1,500 in monthly revenue. I want to keep experimenting with different approaches to grow our subscriber base.

For marketing, I often introduce the app to people close to me—family acquaintances, fellow engineers, and others—and speak at events to raise awareness.

Recently, I've also been using social media like Twitter, Instagram, and Threads to promote the app.

Please check out “FoodGram” across various social platforms! And if you have any great advice, I'd absolutely love to hear it!

What a neat idea. Is this usable in the U.S. and overseas, or only in Japan?

Thank you so much! Reading your comments made me incredibly happy!

Actually, this app targets the global market, and the Food Map feature includes posts from outside Japan!

Since pins mark submitted restaurants, we need submissions from overseas to enrich the map!

Here's a screenshot of the app!

great idea, congratulations!!! I just downloaded the app,I always choose food based on the photos added to Google Maps in the reviews, but there are few of them there, and sometimes there are none at all, which is why I like this idea so much

Thank you! I'm so happy you feel that way. When you post, a pin gets added to the restaurant. If there wasn't a pin in your area yet, you'll be the first one to add one! I look forward to your posts!
