Overview

Japanese Ramen Simulator, developed and published by Wild Dog, is a casual simulation game that puts you behind the counter of your own ramen shop. Released on October 9, 2026, this Early Access title supports up to six players in online co-op, letting you and your friends tackle every aspect of running a bustling noodle joint.

From prepping ingredients to serving hungry customers, the game aims to capture the full rhythm of a working kitchen.

Highlights

  • Full Shop Management: Experience the entire workflow—preparing soup, cooking noodles, arranging toppings, serving food, and cleaning up. Every station matters.
  • Flexible Camera Views: Switch between a first-person view for immersive cooking and a third-person view to better see your character and surroundings. The option helps players who may feel motion sickness in first-person.
  • Co-op for Up to Six: Play solo or team up with friends in online co-op. The game is designed for multiplayer, so you can divide tasks and run the shop together.

Who It's For

If you enjoy cooperative management games or have a soft spot for cooking sims, this one is worth a look. It's also a good pick for players who prefer a relaxed, casual pace—there's no combat or pressure, just the satisfying loop of preparing and serving food.

The multiple camera options make it accessible even to those who usually avoid first-person games.
