The story
Fiction and adapted settings written by Akitsora Gaming for this title, including invented dialogue and events. This is not a historical or folklore reference. The rules and specification tables define the gameplay and math.
A steamer of clam rice is clams dug at the river mouth that morning, a pot of broth, and a whole noon of the cook's hands in the kitchen.
I. Preparing
The clams are purged of sand and folded, broth and all, into the rice, which goes into a bamboo steamer. The cook sets the steamers on a long wooden tray and stacks them on the stove.
The steamer is this game's own take: every kitchen does it differently, and here we keep only the moment the lid comes off.
II. Lifting the lid
Steam leaks through the bamboo weave, the cook lifts the lid with one hand — a white cloud rolls up, and the clam shells lie open on the rice.
A golden yuzu beside it adds a squeeze, and the number on it is the weight of the spin (base game ×2 to ×20).
III. The serving counter opens
Gather 4 kitchen seals and the serving counter is laid out end to end. Over the next 15 spins the multiplier keeps growing (×2 to ×500).
3 more seals add 5 more spins.
IV. Serving
A handful of scallions, a dish of pickled radish, a pinch of shichimi, and the cook holds the steamer out with both hands — eat it while it's hot.
