KuloNiku: Bowl Up! is a cozy anime-inspired cooking sim that mixes cute food presentation with fast-paced kitchen action. You play as a young chef who inherits your grandma’s once-famous meatball restaurant in the town of KuloNiku and sets out to bring it back to its former glory.
Beyond serving quirky locals, the game adds a bit more personality through its rival chefs, town relationships, and story-driven progression. As you take on customer orders and improve your cooking, you also build connections with the people around town, uncover more of the restaurant’s past, and work to protect your family’s legacy.
KuloNiku: Bowl Up! also stands out with its Meatball Brawls, where cooking turns into competitive culinary showdowns judged on more than just speed. You can unlock new tools, discover recipes, upgrade ingredients, and customize your restaurant with decorations that can also affect gameplay, giving the cozy management side a little more depth.
The game is developed by Gambir Studio and published by Raw Fury. Its Steam page lists a planned release date of April 7, 2026, and there’s already a demo available to download while the full game can be wishlisted ahead of launch.
