- The page says an opted-in public feed shows restaurant, dish, approximate location at about 1 km, and month—not photos.
Field notes
The described flow starts with a photo, then asks the user to choose a nearby shop or mark a homemade dish as “home.” Collection progress includes restaurant-specific variants, rarity levels, a Japan map, streaks, and shareable cards. The public discovery feed is optional; its listed details omit photos and use an approximate location and month. The page says the App Store release is still forthcoming.
