Dishes play an important role in the presentation of a dish’s appeal. In order to use a computer to recommend
dishes that match the desired impression of a meal, it is necessary to have knowledge of the impression that each
dish gives. In this study, we focused on restaurant information on gourmet food websites. Based on the hypothesis
that the impression of a restaurant is consistent with the impression of the food served at the restaurant, we
attempted to create an impression of the restaurant by measuring the similarity between the restaurant and the
dishes used at the restaurant. In this paper, we measure the similarity between the dishes based on the image
features, and verify the degree of agreement between the impressions of similar dishes.
