Coming Soon To Early Access

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

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

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 food, looking after customers, and cleaning up. Create a menu you can be proud of, design a shop to your taste, and run it your way.

Switch between a first-person view that lets you immerse yourself in cooking and a third-person view that lets you see your character and surroundings. If you're prone to motion sickness when playing in first person, you can choose a view based on your preferences and comfort.

Prepare, Cook, and Serve

Prepare the soup, cook the noodles, and arrange the toppings to make each bowl just as your customers ordered.

Show your skills through the texture of the noodles, the temperature of the soup, the aroma and Umami of your ingredients, and the time it takes to serve each order. Different soup ingredients and physics-based plating give every bowl its own finish.

Recreate your favorite ramen or try making a bowl unlike anything anyone has seen before. Let your imagination guide you as you create your signature dish.

More Than Ramen

Offer gyoza, rice bowls, beer, and other menu items to enjoy alongside your ramen.

Watch the browning on your gyoza and pour beer with just the right balance of liquid and foam. Serve the ingredients you prepared for ramen over rice to make dishes such as Char Siu Don.

Expect the Unexpected

A demanding ramen critic may visit your shop. Fine-tune the aroma, Umami, and toppings to serve a bowl that earns their approval.

During business hours, thieves may target the money in your cash register, and fires can break out without warning. Use shuriken, fire extinguishers, and other items to get your shop out of trouble.

Or perhaps you could try your luck at the gambling hall and win a fortune...

Arrange Your Space and Create a Shop of Your Own

Place cooking equipment, furniture, storage, and decorations to arrange your kitchen and dining area just the way you like. Build an efficient shop that handles orders smoothly or a distinctive restaurant worth taking pictures of.

Use My Designs to apply your own drawings to posters, noren curtains, ramen bowls, and more. Visit a friend's shop and leave your autograph. You'll also find unusual interactive fixtures and equipment, including toilets and gas cylinders.

Customize your outfit, body shape, and emotes, as well as your noodle-draining animations. Apply your own designs to clothing and create matching uniforms with your friends.

Unlock new ingredients and equipment as your Shop Level rises. Use the money you earn to expand your shop, add to your menu, and improve your dining area.

Online Multiplayer for Up to Six Players

Divide ingredient preparation, cooking, serving, customer service, and cleaning among your friends, and work together to handle the orders as they pour in.

In-game spatial voice chat is supported. Distance and walls affect how voices sound, making it feel as though you're working together in the same shop.

You can also hire part-time NPC staff and take your time running the shop solo.

Your Perfect Bowl, Served in Your Perfect Shop

Pursue the ultimate flavor. Perfect your efficiency. Build a bustling restaurant with friends.

Create a one-of-a-kind ramen shop filled with your own ideas and passion.
