FAQ

Are umami, aroma, cost, and ROI on this page real in-game stats?

No. All 6 entries use a site model (tier: model) checked against Early Access v0.1.50.17746 on 2026-10-11 — not datamined bowl stats. Day 1 fixed buy-screen umami/aroma display for some items; trust your build in-game.

Why is Tantanmen not in the recipe grid?

Tantanmen shipped in the official Day 1 patch. We list unlock levels from Steam notes but will not publish a full recipe or scores until we verify in Early Access — see the pending-official block above.

Where should I cross-check shop levels and new menu items?

Use our level-unlocks guide and changelog for official unlock shifts (e.g. drinks Lv.25, bok choy Lv.26). Broth Builder helps you experiment with modeled dashi — it does not read live game files.
