Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“To create the ambitious, highly flexible game we envision, we believe feedback from the player community is essential.

We want Japanese Ramen Simulator to grow together with its players. We will actively incorporate your feedback as we work to make it an even better ramen shop management simulator.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Early Access to last approximately six months. However, this timeframe may change depending on development progress and player feedback.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Throughout Early Access, we plan to keep improving the game systems and adding new content while incorporating player feedback.

Between major updates, we will also make improvements based on community input and aim to maintain a steady update schedule.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the core features needed to run a ramen shop, including ingredient preparation, cooking ramen and gyoza, serving beer, customer service, and shop layout customization.

Online co-op supports up to six players, allowing friends to divide the work. You can also hire part-time staff and run the shop solo. The game also features original menu creation, physics-based plating, shop design, and a variety of events during business hours.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually increase the price as major content is added and the game approaches its full release.

Players who purchase the game during Early Access will not be charged any additional fees due to future price changes.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We welcome player feedback through the Steam Community Hub, our official Discord server, social media, and other channels.

Japanese Ramen Simulator is a game we want to grow together with its community. We will actively incorporate your opinions and requests as we work to make the game even better. Please share your thoughts with us!”

About This Game

About Japanese Ramen Simulator

Japanese Ramen Simulator is a ramen shop management simulator for up to six players.

Experience every part of running a ramen shop, from preparing ingredients and cooking to serving customers and cleaning up. Create a menu you are proud of and run the shop your way.

Prepare, Cook, and Serve

Prepare ingredients, broth, noodles, and toppings, then cook each bowl of ramen to match your customers’ orders.

Keep an eye on noodle texture and broth temperature, as well as the aroma and Umami created by your ingredients and the time it takes to serve each order.

Combine a wide range of ingredients in your broth and place toppings using physics-based controls. No two bowls turn out exactly alike. Recreate a favorite ramen or invent something no one has ever seen. The menu is yours to create.

More Than Ramen

Ramen is not the only thing on the menu. Cook gyoza and rice bowls, and prepare side orders such as beer.

Watch the browning on your gyoza and find the right balance of beer and foam. Top rice bowls with ramen ingredients to create dishes such as chashu rice bowls.

Expect the Unexpected

A formidable ramen critic may visit your shop. Fine-tune the aroma, Umami, and toppings to satisfy them with a truly special bowl.

Thieves may target the cash register, and fires can break out without warning. Use items such as shuriken and fire extinguishers to deal with trouble in your shop.

You can even try your luck at the gambling hall to earn money for the business.

Design a Shop of Your Own

Place cooking equipment, furniture, storage, and decorations to arrange everything from the kitchen to the dining area your way.

Use the Custom Design feature to draw on posters and noren curtains. Visit a friend’s shop and leave your autograph behind. There may even be some unusual fixtures, including toilets...

Build an efficient restaurant that can serve a crowd or a distinctive shop made for screenshots. Bring your ideas to life.

Online Multiplayer for Up to Six Players

Play online co-op with up to six players.

Divide preparation, cooking, serving, customer service, and cleaning among your friends, and work together to handle the rush of incoming orders.

Hire part-time staff to run the shop solo at your own pace.

Your Perfect Bowl, Served in Your Perfect Shop

Will you pursue the ultimate flavor, perfect your efficiency, or build a bustling restaurant with friends?

Pour your passion into a one-of-a-kind ramen shop that is truly yours.
