What is nomikoi?

nomikoi is a matching app that starts with drinking compatibility.

A key feature is that users can easily imagine "what kind of time they could spend together" before meeting, as profile information includes alcohol preferences, drinking pace, drinking frequency, preferred shop atmosphere, and desired drinking areas.

It aims not just to connect "people who like alcohol," but to facilitate encounters with people with whom users think, "I'd have fun with this person," or "I'd want to go to that place I've been curious about with this person."

Why "Drinking" is an Opportunity for Encounters

Japan has numerous places to go drinking with someone, such as izakayas, bars, standing bars, wine bars, and craft beer specialty shops.

Going for a drink is not just about drinking alcohol.

It's about enjoying conversation, sharing time, and getting to know each other.

It is precisely during such times that a person's true nature and compatibility when spending time together naturally emerge.

Even with the shared interest of "liking alcohol," comfortable drinking styles vary from person to person.

Some people want to have fun drinking in a lively atmosphere, while others prefer to talk slowly in a calm setting. Some want to explore different kinds of alcohol together, while others want to enjoy the food and the shop selection as well.

nomikoi views "drinking" not merely as a hobby, but as an opportunity for people to connect naturally.

Starting with "Let's go for a drink together," not "Let's meet."

With matching apps, users often wonder, "How should I ask them out?" or "Where should we go?"

However, if you have a common shop you want to visit or an area you want to drink in,

"Would you like to go to this place?"

"Shall we go for a drink in this area?"

Such natural conversations can arise.

It allows you to start with "Let's go for a drink together," rather than "Let's meet."

This is the kind of encounter nomikoi aims for.

Future Prospects

In the future, we plan to enhance features that make drinking compatibility easier to understand, and functions that connect people based on desired locations and events.

We also aim to collaborate with restaurants and alcohol-related events to create a service that bridges online encounters with real-life drinking experiences.

Reasons for going out for a drink become reasons for an encounter.

nomikoi will create a world where people can meet more enjoyably, starting from the feeling of "I'd have fun drinking with this person."
