About Doraemon Dorayaki Shop Story
Doraemon Dorayaki Shop Story is a single‑player simulation where you manage a sweets shop starring Doraemon and friends. You create dorayaki, arrange shelves and tables, and serve a cast of Fujiko‑F‑Fujio characters.
Exploration and skill stats of staff affect ingredient hunting and recipe development, while facilities and decorations boost shop charm and reputation. The game runs for one in‑game year before an optional continuation, and supports full controller use on Steam.
01 / THE GUIDE
Shop Setup and Decoration
You begin by making dorayaki, then set up seats and shelves before opening the shop. Decorations are chosen freely for appearance, and they raise the quality and reputation of sweets at tasting events.
Facility charm influences customer satisfaction and point gain, while matching genre types nearby creates area bonuses that further improve the shop’s performance.
- Select decorations that match the staff’s finishing style for a reputation boost.
- Group facilities of the same genre to trigger area bonuses.

Staff Exploration and Skill
Five friends act as shop staff, each with Exploration and Skill parameters. Exploration helps locate ingredients and overcome obstacles, while Skill aids sweet creation in the kitchen and prototype room.
Higher exploration also raises the rank of books usable for sweet improvement, expanding the variety of recipes you can discover.
- Prioritize staff with high Exploration to unlock rare ingredients faster.
- Balance Skill upgrades to improve both kitchen output and prototype quality.

Ingredient Searching
Finding ingredients in various locations unlocks new sweets. Staff exploration values make it easier to meet new characters and discover items. Some sweets lack hints, requiring discovery through ingredient collection.
The rank of books you can use to improve sweets also depends on staff exploration, linking ingredient hunting to recipe refinement.
- Send staff with the highest Exploration on ingredient quests.
- Explore diverse locations to encounter characters that may offer rare items.

Ranking and Facility Expansion
Advancing in rank unlocks more management options, additional facilities, and extra uses of the Lander‑Expander to enlarge shop space. Reaching the highest rank meets specific conditions and grants broader development capabilities.
Facility parameters like Charm affect satisfaction points, while Genre alignment yields area bonuses, both contributing to rank progression.
- Focus on increasing Charm to boost satisfaction points quickly.
- Plan facility placement to maximize Genre bonuses before expanding.
05 / THE GUIDE
Ending and New Game+
The story concludes one year after starting, at the end of the fourth week of March, but play can continue afterward. Starting a New Game+ with cleared data carries over some progress, giving an advantage in subsequent runs.
This allows players to reuse discovered recipes and staff improvements while aiming for higher ranks in a fresh timeline.
- Save key data before ending to benefit from New Game+ carryover.
- Use the continued play period to experiment with unused facilities.
