A story that'll satisfy your body and your soul! Manage a plucky, upcoming ramen shop run by a sweet elderly couple in this narrative-driven store management sim. Get to know the clientele while you help Granny and Gramps build their humble shop into a local institution! Serve up piping hot ramen, fried rice, gyoza, and shumai to happy customers. Are they still hungry? There's always chili shrimp, liver and leeks, or happosai! Are they bottomless pits?! Then hit 'em with some kanitama, zasai, or bang bang chicken! Gramps's repertoire starts off limited but his pantry will expand the more he cooks, giving him plenty of options to feed all the hungry folks that darken his door! And what a cast of characters awaits! You'll meet all manner of eccentrics and colorful personalities, just waiting to open up to you over a nice, hot meal. Keep them fed and keep them talking, and you'll pull the curtain back on a variety of tales in this tiny community. The only way to the heart of this story is through its stomach, so get cooking! The game is playable from start to finish for free, so don't hesitate to walk on through that door and get to know Granny and Gramps in the latest installment of the acclaimed Hungry Hearts series! We're happy to have you at our table, whether you're a new or returning fan! ---------------------------------- Story ---------------------------------- Some decades ago now, there sat a small, unassuming ramen shop in a tiny town in Japan. It seemed like it had been there forever, but its origins are quite peculiar, indeed. Much abbreviated, this is how it goes... A stubborn old man who—to hear the townsfolk tell it—never cracked a smile married the nicest, most amiable woman you could ever hope to meet, and together they opened a restaurant. The two made a formidable team; their eatery soon became a fixture in town, and seemed destined to become an institution. That is, until the old man turned to his wife one day and said... Y'know, I've been thinkin'... Such was the beginning of his pitch to turn their humble establishment into a ramen shop. His wife was taken aback, but after a moment's pause, merely smiled back at him. What a lovely idea. I'll help however I can. For you see, they'd always shared a quiet regret between them. One rarely spoken, but ever-present—a knot in their shoulders they could never massage away. An unfulfilled promise. A dream deferred. This is the story of their reinvention. ---------------------------------- So let me guess: you're asking yourself right now, "Is this game for me?" It just might be! Did you enjoy Hungry Hearts Diner? (If so, thanks!) Do you like casual/idle games? Are you looking for something with a relaxed pace? Do you like shop management sims? Do you desperately want to feel something? Are you feeling a bit hungry right now? Were you born anytime before 1989, also known as the Showa Era? If you shouted "Yes!" at your device to any of the above, first of all we hope your voice assistant wasn't listening. Second, download this game and give it a try! It's free, from start to finish!

Beautiful story, fun mechanics

I love all of these games, but I especially loved the addition of the ramen mechanic! It never felt too difficult because I knew if I just kept cooking and discovering ingredients I would get what was needed. If anyone is stuck, though, I recommend just continuing to play, level up dishes and finish each customer’s story! If you do that, you’ll unlock more recipes and ingredients. It might take a little time but it’s worth it. The story is so beautiful in this one, just like the rest. I was nearly in tears at the ending ♥️ I’m definitely going to replay some of the other games now but I hope to see more with the Ramen cooking mechanic (or other iterations of it!) in the future if they keep making more!

I am such a huge fan of any game that Gagex puts out, and this one is no exception ❤️ for y’all who are frustrated over the lack of ramen ingredients, be patient! They ALL unlock in time - requests, ingredients, and all. Enjoy it - there’s no penalty for turning down requests, nor any time restraints on fulfilling orders, which is so rare. I never hesitate to spend money on these - completely optional of course, and does not take away from the experience, but I definitely don’t mind supporting the developers. I can’t wait for what Gagex comes up with next!

they didn’t even ask to write a review that’s just how good this game is. I recommend it to anyone who loves cooking games, idle games, or games that are just fun and easy. I can’t put it down even when they ask me too! that’s how good of a game they know they have! I already sent it to a friend and I can see this game replacing my tiktok addiction!

Impossible Raman Combos

It’s fun but impossible ramen combos. You get to a point it ask for oils such as chili oil for example or sesame oil but no clue or help on how or where to get this. It’s pretty impossible. Even tried to good and Reddit the answer after trying for so long and no one has a clue. I love these games but seriously what the heck. Done from here but it was really fun up until that point I guess. Only reason I gave it two stars. Also like another complainant..can’t upgrade or spend the accumulated funds anymore past a certain point and still stuck with low energy bar. It would be nice to spend it on that.
