Kokoro Kitchen

Kokoro Kitchen is a farm-to-table cooking game set in the spirit world. You help Alan, a grumpy poultry-geist, restore a rundown Japanese restaurant by serving meals, growing ingredients and preparing special items for customers. The restaurant’s past—and Alan’s connection to it—unfolds as you help him find what is missing.

Run the restaurant

Choose a menu each day and experiment with recipes to suit your customers. Balance the time spent preparing each dish against its quality to keep customers happy and earn money for upgrades. You can also prepare meals for takeaway tables to serve customers on the go.

Grow and prepare ingredients

Water and harvest crops in your garden, and care for cows and chickens to collect milk and eggs. Mini-games let you prepare ingredients for recipes, including fermenting soybeans into soy sauce and drying green tea leaves into matcha powder.

Upgrade your shop

Manage your money to buy plants for the farm, decorations for your bedroom and other items. Spend points on upgrades that restore the restaurant, add features to the kitchen and make running the business easier.

Meet the regulars

Learn about Alan’s history with the restaurant and help him find his missing piece. Former regulars also return with challenges; completing them reveals more about the restaurant’s past.
