Ramen Shop Simulator decorations come from three places — the shops, the gacha machine and the fax machine — plus a fourth route through the challenges you complete. Once you own them they land in your decoration storage, the shelf next to the fax machine, and you can sell any of them back from there.
Ramen Shop Simulator decorations: where they come from
| Source | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| The shops | Decorations bought the same way you buy anything else |
| The gacha machine | Rare pulls, paid for with gacha coins |
| The fax machine | Mail-ordered decorations delivered to your door |
| Challenges | Decorations and customizations as rewards for finishing them |
The challenge route is the one that is easy to overlook. Completing challenges is the other way to unlock decorations, along with customizations and recipes, so the challenge list is doing double duty as a shopping list.
Once a decoration is in the shop it has to be positioned, and everything movable in the shop is handled the same way — the move decorations guide has the controls.
Customization is the separate layer on top: decorations have options such as wood colour and tile patterns, and different bowl shapes and decals are planned. Those are not new objects, they are new looks for objects you already own.
The Decoration Storage shelf
Decorations land in your decoration storage, which is the shelf next to the fax machine. You right-click a decoration in that storage to sell it, which makes the storage shelf the place where your decorations are both parked and liquidated.
The shelf's position is worth knowing precisely, because it is also where you order from: the fax machine is the machine beside it, and the fax machine store guide explains what you can order through it.
Selling is per-decoration rather than in bulk, so if you want to clear a batch you right-click each piece in turn.
More than four at a time
If you order more than four decorations they arrive in a box that has to be placed on the Storage Shelf first before the decorations can be taken out. That is the one rule that catches people out when they buy a bundle: the shelf is holding a box, not the decorations, and until the box is placed and opened the contents are not available to you.
Everything in the shop can then be moved. Decorations are picked up, rotated and put down in Creation Mode, which is covered in the move decorations guide, and the same mode is where an appliance can be sold again if you decide you bought the wrong one.
If you want a rare piece without spending money, the gacha machine guide covers the coins and the capsule colours.
