Ugoku Sushi Bar v1.1.0 Adds Automation Upgrades and Recipe Search

Developer Troypc has released version 1.1.0 of Ugoku Sushi Bar, a patch oriented around reducing repetitive busywork and addressing player-reported pain points in the bar's daily loop.

What changed

Kitchen Upgrades

  • New tea kettle upgrade added
  • Upgrades for automatic soy sauce and wasabi refilling
  • Option to skip the wasabi preparation minigame via upgrade
  • Upgrade to skip fish cleaning
  • Tamago and rice cooker upgrades enabled

Recipe & Shop

  • Recipe book now supports search and filtering by ingredient and plate color
  • Tool shop layout refreshed to accommodate new upgrade entries

Everyday Improvements

  • Soap refill mechanic re-enabled
  • Option to skip chopstick case opening animations
  • Customer relationship panel now scrolls with an improved layout
  • Task descriptions now indicate which shop sells the required item
  • Item names aligned between tasks and shops
  • Stove sound volume lowered

Fixes & Adjustments

  • Fixed Rini's dialogue box overlapping the frying pan
  • Fixed frying pan upgrades incorrectly increasing cooking minigame difficulty
  • Corrected a text error in the fishing tutorial
  • Dragon Plate stock adjusted: unlocking now grants 2, with an upgrade raising that to 5
  • Fixed plates disappearing and a bug with the end-of-day panel
  • Adjusted overuse penalty application
  • Increased availability of caviar and Dragon Heritage plates
  • Faucet indicator added

Taken together, the update lets players automate the most repetitive prep steps through upgrades while making the recipe book and task system meaningfully easier to navigate — a meaningful quality-of-life pass for anyone deep into their sushi bar routine.

Ugoku Sushi Bar v1.0.3 Patches Tutorial Loops, Save Data Gaps, and More

Version 1.0.3 of Ugoku Sushi Bar, published on 30 July 2026, arrives with fourteen distinct fixes spanning the tutorial, plate handling, saving, and recipe logic — a substantive sweep for a game still in its early post-release window.

What changed

  • The tutorial could enter an infinite loop and never conclude; that path is now closed.
  • A softlock during the table-cleaning tutorial section has been resolved.
  • Customers now have unlimited patience while the tutorial is active.
  • Plates were becoming trapped inside the plate stack; they no longer do.
  • Grilled ingredients can now be used when preparing 2× and 3× sushi rolls.
  • Food can no longer be placed on empty plates arriving on the conveyor belt.
  • Completed plates that could fail to be served are now correctly dispatched.
  • Save data was failing to record house plants, Rini's location, upgrades, and money; all four are now preserved.
  • Feeding Rini correctly deducts ingredients from player stock.
  • Seasonal recipes were occasionally ordered outside their proper seasons.
  • The restock button for Tea Herb was non-functional and has been repaired.
  • A visual issue affecting the lobster has been corrected.
  • Russian and Polish font rendering problems are fixed.

Taken together, the patch removes several barriers that could halt new players before they ever reached the main game, and closes save-data gaps that would have quietly erased progression.
