This is a japanese mobile app game available on for iphone and andriod phones. It is a region blocked which isn't too difficult to bypass. For itunes just sign up for a japan account and find any address or zipcode within japan to use as your address. Unsure about Andriod so you will have to google that.

This game is another one of those time based restaurant business game but its also a dating simulation game. If you are familiar with Tokimeki games then you will know that there are a number of guys you can choose to date and you have to earn their affection and get events. The story of the game is that you are a girl who just got a job at a cafe which happens to be next to a idol dormitory. In Japan idols are young attractive celebrities that do one or a combination of singing/acting/modeling. In Tokimeki Restaurant (tokires for short) there are two boy musical groups called 3 Majesty and XIP. Both have three members and you meet them all in the intro story. The intro is the only time you get to hear the guys talk which is unfortunate. The guys will either grunt or say one word at every new speech bubble of theirs. What makes up for it is that these guys are animated! The graphics and music in this game is really great! Usually I get really sick of the music in app games, but I haven't gotten tired or annoyed at the music in this game at all.

This game would be difficult to learn to play if you don't any japanese. Knowing just the basics should be enough. The game is rather simple to play. Just to cook food to level up, and increase the each recipes' star rating. More stars will unlock more recipes which will help lure the idols into your cafe more often. When they come in sometimes a heart will appear above them, and this is event icon so be sure to tap on it! Actually you don't have to go after one guy, you can see these events for all the guys if you want. This game is not an actual proper dating sim game since initially your character is getting to know them better to keep them as happy regular customers at first. These heart events will add 1 heart to the respective guy's affection. If you get 5 hearts the next heart event should be the skinship mode which you have to do within 24 hours or it will reset back to 0 hearts.

Physical contact is important in a relationship so that is what skinship mode is. There are 3 stages: 1st stage is tapping the pink hearts to fill up the heart meter but avoid the blue hearts, 2nd stage is the same thing but a longer meter, and the 3rd stage is a free for all and you can tap and stroke the screen as much as you want. This mode is quite suggestive but its nothing bad as the guys just stands there blushing and sighing. After that the hearts reset and you have to get 5 heart events to get the skinship mode again. If you mess up during skinship the hearts reset as well. You can unlock new events the higher your level and when you unlock appropriate recipes of the respective guys.

I quite enjoy this game and have been quite addicted to it. There are guides on this game so google it if you need help! I'm not an expert so I can't help very much, haha. Here's a link to the Japanese wiki of the game.
