Kodansha Game Creators Lab published Wabisabi Sushi Derby on July 16 for PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch. The game tasks players with raising sushi and entering them in races, with the ultimate goal of winning the S1 Cup. During races, sushi can be snatched by customers' chopsticks and eaten, resulting in permanent loss. Players can accelerate their sushi by cheering, but must time it to avoid chopsticks. Each topping type has a unique skill, such as shrimp knocking rivals away or engawa diving to evade. A training session before each race can improve stats or grant skills. Sushi performance degrades over time, encouraging strategic use. A promotional song by Ryo Yamashita, who worked on Pop Team Epic's dot-pixel segments, is on YouTube. The game costs 710 yen with a 10% launch discount.
