What this is
A playable fan mini-game: the evening golden-two-hours counter rush. Mechanics come straight from this site's Recipes page — the rice temperature window and prep timing. Two clicks per dish: stop the temperature, land the knife. Double-perfect pays 3x; storm-hour orders double.
Three rules
Rice temperature
The needle sweeps 20-45°C; click inside the 35-38°C gold box = perfect, near = passable, far = cold rice.
The slice
The knife shuttles fast; click inside the green = perfect. Rice + slice double-perfect = 3x tips.
Storm hour
Second half: premium squid orders pay 2x with shorter patience — risk pricing, house tradition.
