TOKYO – May 2, 2024 – Touhou Mystia’s Izakaya, the cozy restaurant simulator Touhou Project fan game from developer Dichroic Purpilion and publisher Phoenixx with more than 18,000 Overwhelmingly Positive reviews on Steam, launches its grand opening on Nintendo Switch today for $26.99. This Nintendo Switch release includes immediate access to all six DLC packs previously released on Steam.
Mystia Lorelei’s beloved Izakaya, the most popular eatery in all of Gensokyo, has been ransacked by a mysterious customer! With the restaurant torn down and expenses stacking up, help Mystia get back on her feet by starting a new enterprise from scratch. Rebuild and re-establish Mystia as Gensokyo’s most celebrated culinary favorite.
By day, hand-pick ingredients scattered across series-favorite locales like the Hakurei Shrine and the bustling Human Village. Converse with locals along the way to learn the locations of rare ingredients, and expand Mystia’s recipe book to satisfy the taste of various guests such as Reimu, Akyuu, and 30 other hungry Touhou characters.
At night, select a location for each evening’s dinner-service-on-wheels, and prepare a new menu to satisfy local preferences. Hire friends to work each shift, and create a welcoming atmosphere with business-boosting decorations, multiple background music options, alternate employee outfits, and more.
Stir-fry, saute, and flambé a flawless eating experience for eager customers, and prepare to please each of their peculiar tastes. Successive satisfactory experiences will lead to record profits, but poor management can lead to bad reviews and a scolding from Mystia’s mentors.

Venture to the Forest of Magic, Youkai Mountain, Shining Needle Castle, and many more locales filled with new ingredients, characters, recipes, soundtracks, and other surprises including special music track “Lost Phantasia” from Touhou Danmaku Kagura: Phantasia Lost.
