Why it matters
Karaage lands with a fryer whose cooking oil degrades with use and must be replaced, a maintenance loop the game had not tied to a side menu before.
Key Facts
- Karaage appears in Japanese Ramen Simulator customer orders starting from shop level 15.
- The self-service water server in Japanese Ramen Simulator unlocks at shop level 14.
- Japanese Ramen Simulator raised its shop level cap from 30 to 35.
Karaage appears in customer orders from shop level 15, and a fryer, karaage pack, fried food plate, and cooking oil were added to prepare it. Lemon unlocks at the same level and can be sliced into a topping. A self-service water server unlocks at shop level 14: customers fill their own cups and take a seat if cups are stocked. Ramen ingredients were expanded with extra-thick noodles, chili pepper, and mizuna, which unlock at levels 31, 33, and 34. The shop level cap rose from 30 to 35, and a new critic called Food Fighter can be challenged at level 35. The free update also adds decorations such as pillars, an openable counter, poster stands, blackboards, an outdoor unit, and an aquarium.
- Fryer: buying unlocks at shop level 15; placing cooking oil lets you fry karaage, and the oil gets dirty with continued use, so it must be swapped for new oil.
- Karaage support items: Fryer, Karaage Pack, Fried Food Plate, and Cooking Oil all unlock for purchase at level 15.
- Lemon: unlocks at level 15 and can be cut and used as a topping.
- Extra-Thick Noodles: unlocks at level 31.
- Chili Pepper: unlocks at level 33, cuttable as a topping.
- Mizuna: unlocks at level 34, cuttable as a topping.
- Pillars: level 10. Openable Counter: level 12. Poster Stands, vertical and horizontal: level 17.
- Blackboard and Round Sign: level 31. Outdoor Unit, Ceiling Ventilation Fan, and Air Conditioner: level 32.
- Aquarium, Houseplant, Drain Grate, and Non-Slip Steel Plate: level 35.
- Drink Beer emote: unlocks at level 5.
Two tutorials were added, one for buying and cooking karaage and one for the water server. Lighting color and the entrance noren curtain can now be recolored, and the Food Fighter clear earns a dedicated trophy.
