Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

A Japanese otome visual novel by honeybee, originally released for PC then ported to Playstation Vita as "Ayakashi Gohan ~Oomori!~". Its sequel "Ayakashi Gohan ~Okawari!~ was planned for a release on PlayStation Vita, but seemingly got canceled and is only available on PC. In the corner of a certain village where ayakashi and humans coexist, there is a shop that serves meals for ayakashi. The name of this eatery is “Ponpokorin”. In that store, both ayakashi and humans visit it seeking to have a delicious meal. The shop owner is a youko (a mythological fox spirit) taking on a human form. “Everybody can be happy if they can have a delicious meal.” That was the youko’s creed. The youko and its soon-to-be 7-year-old son continue to cook delicious meals to this very day. One day, as the hot summer ended and the harvest of autumn approached, a lone girl enters the youko’s store. From that moment onwards, the story begins.
