Japanese Ramen Simulator Save Location & Steam Cloud
The Steam store lists Steam Cloud and Save Anytime for App ID 4968640. Wild Dog has not published an exact on-disk save folder, so this page sticks to Steam-client checks and Valve’s generic cloud rules (unofficial fan wiki).

How to check cloud & local saves (HowTo)
Based on Steam/Valve public docs and store features; in-game menu labels vary by UI language.
- STEP 1
Confirm Steam Cloud is enabled for the game
In the Steam client, open Library → Japanese Ramen Simulator → Properties (gear) → General. Ensure “Keep games saves in the Steam Cloud” is checked. The store page lists Steam Cloud as a supported feature — Wild Dog has not published which files sync.
- STEP 2
Use Save Anytime during a shift (in-game)
The Steam store lists Save Anytime among supported features. Save from the in-game menu when you need a checkpoint — we do not list hidden hotkeys here because Wild Dog has not published a standalone save-key chart.
- STEP 3
Open the install folder via Steam (local files)
Right-click the game in Library → Manage → Browse local files. This opens the game install directory on your PC. Wild Dog has not documented a public save subfolder name — do not assume paths from other games.
- STEP 4
Before switching PCs, let Steam finish syncing
Exit to desktop (or fully quit the game) so Steam can upload cloud saves. On the new PC, install the game, sign into the same Steam account, and launch once online. If progress is missing, check Properties → General cloud toggle and Valve’s Steam Cloud help — causes vary by PC and are not confirmed by Wild Dog.
- STEP 5SITE MODEL
Optional manual backup (site model — generic Steam practice)
Some players copy their Steam userdata folder after quitting the game. Valve documents userdata under the Steam installation; we do not map App ID 4968640 to a folder name without a verified path. Treat copies as your own risk — test on a spare account if possible.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Q1.Does Japanese Ramen Simulator support Steam Cloud saves?
Yes — the Steam store page lists Steam Cloud among supported features for App ID 4968640. That means Valve can sync configured save data between PCs on the same account under normal Steam Cloud rules. The developer has not published a file-by-file sync list.
Q2.What is the save file location on disk?
Wild Dog has not published an official save path for Japanese Ramen Simulator. Use Steam → Browse local files to open the install folder, and check Steam Cloud status in Properties. We do not quote unverified %USERPROFILE%\… paths from random forum posts.
Q3.Can I save mid-shift?
The store lists Save Anytime — saving during business hours is a supported design goal on paper. Use the in-game save flow; exact menu labels depend on your UI language.
Q4.Steam Cloud not syncing between two PCs?PLAYER REPORT
Player reports often mention: cloud toggle off, launching offline before first sync, or Steam client stuck on “Syncing”. Quit the game fully, verify cloud is on for App 4968640, restart Steam, and read Valve’s Steam Cloud wizard. Wild Dog has not posted game-specific cloud debug steps.
Q5.Does Steam Family Sharing copy my ramen shop save?
The store lists Family Sharing as a Steam feature. Sharing rules are defined by Valve (who may play, on which library, and what persists). Treat each family member’s progress as separate unless Valve’s docs say otherwise — we have no Wild Dog statement on shared saves.
Q6.Will Early Access updates wipe my save?SITE MODEL
Wild Dog has not promised save compatibility for every future build. Day 1 and follow-up patches changed balance and tutorials but did not announce a forced wipe. Back up via Steam Cloud and optional userdata copies before major updates — site precaution, not official policy.
