About the Game

Cozy Shop Management

Stepping into a new job might seem a little daunting, but you've got this! There’s no rush here—we’ll take it one step at a time.

From tired salarymen to energetic school kids and sweet local grandparents, learn your customers' tastes, plate up delicious bento, and keep those smiles coming! 

Decorate with Heart

Are you a minimalist who lets the ingredients speak for themselves? Or is your style more... delectably outlandish?

Garnish freely: Dot your dishes with cute nori cutouts or elegant food picks.

Express yourself: There’s no "standard" here—only your own creative touch.

Make Friends, Not Just Sales

Meet a cast of colorful locals and get to know the lives behind the counter. Listen to their stories, share a smile, and build lasting bonds.

If you’re lucky, your new friends might just offer a helping hand—or a secret recipe—to help your little business bloom.

Wait, where did the shop owner go?! While you’re happily holding down the fort and managing the daily bento hustle, you'll stumble upon curious little clues provided by the locals. Piece together the mystery of his sudden disappearance and bring him back home to his beloved shop!
