MAKING KIMCHIa kimchi shop cooking sim
A back alley in the Bronx, New York. You open a kimchi shop with $500 to your name. You order the vegetables, then wash · cut · salt · season · toss them by hand. Each of the five steps is scored out of 100, and that score becomes your star rating and your price — a sloppy jar sells for less than half of a good one.
Napa cabbage kimchi, kkakdugi, chonggak, oi-sobagi, pa, yeolmu, gat, baek and dongchimi: nine recipes with real ingredients, amounts, brining times and fermentation temperatures. Each one has its right place — room temperature or the kimchi fridge — and picking wrong costs you stars. Kimchi left in the crock keeps ageing while your browser is closed, and a three-year-old jar sells for ten times the price of a fresh one.
You do not start with all nine recipes. They unlock as your total revenue grows, right in the middle of a shift. Kkakdugi opens at $500, chonggak at $1,200.
Open the door and customers walk in. They haggle, ask for a taste, quiz you about kimchi, demand refunds and threaten reviews. Serve them what they actually asked for and your reputation, your crowd and your prices all go up. The goal: $20,000 in total revenue to move to Manhattan, then $1,000,000 there to buy a brand-new condo.
Update, 2026-10-21
The ingredients have been redrawn to look like the real thing. All 50 items in the order screen
now have shading and texture, and the mustard greens, young radish, chonggak radish and dongchimi radish
on the cutting board are new. Cutting now works the way each vegetable is really cut:
napa cabbage halves are split from the core into quarters, the kkakdugi radish ends up as cubes,
cucumbers lose their ends and are cut into chunks, and scallions and mustard greens only get their roots
and wilted tips trimmed.
