Persona 3 Portable[]
- Main article: Social Link/Fuuka Yamagishi
Only exclusive to the female protagonist to perform in Persona 3 Portable, she can cook when meeting with Fuuka Yamagishi's cooking club on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Every cooked item can be used as a gift for other Social Links to gain Social Link points with them. After advancing Fuuka's Social Link to Rank 5, the female protagonist can freely cook whenever she wishes during club-meeting days.
The female protagonist must reach Rank 1 of Fuuka's Social Link in order to obtain the key item Dog Food, which initiates Koromaru's. For more information on his Social Link, see Social Link/Koromaru.

In Reload, the activity has been rehashed: starting from June 16th, the protagonist can spend time cooking or brewing together with various SEES members in the Iwatodai Dormitory as long as they're available to perform that specific activity. The protagonist can only cook with Yukari Takeba, Mitsuru Kirijo, Akihiko Sanada, Ken Amada and Shinjiro Aragaki.
The activity produces specific consumable items depending on the person the protagonist is cooking with:

Persona 4 / Golden[]
The protagonist is able to make a Boxed Lunch for school the night before at the Dojima Residence whenever Nanako stocks the fridge. When he cooks, he needs to choose the correct cooking step to prevent him from botching it. In Persona 4, making a mistake will yield the protagonist Bait instead.
The protagonist can invite Social Link students from Yasogami High School that have already formed a bond with him, unless their Social Link has been reversed. Sharing food that's perfectly cooked with school friends will earn points towards their Social Link. If a Social Link is given their favorite food, they will give three points as opposed to two.
Making five perfectly cooked Boxed Lunches nets the "Cooking With Gas" trophy in Golden.

Persona 5 / Royal[]
『ペルソナ５』ショートムービー【喫茶店の修行中】
Brewing and cooking at Leblanc (Japanese, promotional)
- Main article: Confidant/Sojiro Sakura
"The way you're drinking it makes it look delicious. This coffee has a lot of thought and love behind it, huh... Maybe if you drink it in the Metaverse, it'll heal your wounds too."
When the protagonist unlocks and ranks up Sojiro Sakura's Confidant, he'll be able to brew coffee or cook curry in Café Leblanc. The activity is only available during evenings, and never during the day, even on holidays. Cooking is also available during nights before calling cards are sent. This activity passes time.
The protagonist will be unable to cook or brew when there are customers in the store. As such, talking to them several times will make them leave. Afterwards, he'll have to choose what he will prepare. He'll make one cup of coffee per session, and two dishes of curry, and the catalogue extends as he ranks up Sojiro's Confidant.
The protagonist brewing coffee.
The protagonist can make coffee any day. When he does, Sojiro will come to taste, and the protagonist can receive a Confidant note 19 times. Initially, it'll only give one note, but on the 7th try and after, it'll be two. The boost is influenced by multipliers, such as having a Persona of a matching Arcana or scoring well on the exams. The number of times points can be received is restricted to his Confidant rank: if it's Rank 2, he will only come to taste 3 times, with each additional rank extending it to 2. Rank 4's the only other exception, as it will initially only extend it once, with the second time unlocked after Futaba Sakura joins the group. Additionally, Sojiro will give coffee trivia every time.[1][2]
The protagonist can only make curry when there's excess curry ingredients in the fridge. This is only on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The protagonist will improvise with his curry on his own, during which 15 bits of curry trivia can be received.[1][2]
The protagonist can be offered to cook curry when certain Confidants (specifically Ryuji Sakamoto, Yusuke Kitagawa and Futaba Sakura) invite him to hang out directly at Leblanc: they'll spend the morning together performing specific activities, but they'll request the protagonist brews or cooks during the 2nd time slot for the day. There, the protagonist can choose between following Sojiro's directions or not; if he chooses not to follow his directions, it will instead present him with Bitter Coffee, Fire Curry, Blaze Curry and Inferno Curry. Although they generally don't differentiate from their regular alternatives, the Inferno Curry, which is based on the Master Curry, only recovers half the original's SP.
If the protagonist ranks up Sadayo Kawakami's Confidant, she'll be able to be requested to prepare in his place: at Rank 3, she'll be able to make coffee, and at Rank 7, curry, but only 1 at a time. Initially, she can only prepare Leblanc Coffee and Decent Curry. However, once the protagonist learns the ability to make Master Coffee and Master Curry, she will as well. Requesting her initially costs ¥5,000 yen, but becomes free once her Confidant is maxed. The protagonist cannot use the kitchen simultaneously with her (meaning the protagonist can't brew if she's preparing curry and vice versa,)[1][2] and Sojiro will be automatically unavailable to spend time with.
In Persona 5 Royal, brewing coffee will boost the protagonist's Charm stat by one note, and cooking curry will increase his Guts by one note. Additionally, the protagonist will always make two cups of coffee per session instead of one.[2]

Persona 5 Strikers[]
Joker's Kitchen in Persona 5 Strikers
Cooking, also referred to as "Joker's Kitchen", is a side activity that can be performed. After clearing the Shibuya Jail and obtaining the RV, the protagonist can cook food that restores HP and/or SP, with some dishes having a secondary effect as well. Additionally, if he cooks a new dish, it increases his BOND with the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.
To cook said dishes, certain ingredients are required; these can be bought from local stores or, at a higher price, Sophia's Shop. Obtaining each meal's recipe is also necessary, and can be found through select stores/restaurants, story events, or by completing requests.

This smoothness...
There is no mistaking it... This is Hawaiian Kona... |

| Curry Trivia (Dialogue with Morgana) | |||
| 1 | Curry Secret Ingredient: Apples | Fruit are often used as secret ingredients in curry. They add sweetness and meld to create a mild and delectable curry flavor.
Grated apples are recommended because of their fiber. Stewing the apple will add sweetness and balance the spice in the curry. |
...This curry sure has a lot of ingredients, doesn't it? Did I see you put fruit in there? |
| Huh... I never knew apples would go so well with spicy curry... | |||
| 2 | Curry Secret Ingredient: Honey | Honey is a flower nectar collected by bees. When used as a secret ingredient in curry, it serves to soften meat and add sweetness. Honey can add depth and increase a curry's spice level by consolidating the flavor without diluting its spicy personality. | By the way... What was that sticky sauce you added? |
| Wow, I never thought honey would go so well with spicy curry. You learn something new every day! | |||
| 3 | Curry Secret Ingredient: Yogurt | This cultured dairy product is used to add acidity, richness, and sweetness to the curry. It also balances out the spice level. Common in India, the home of curry, yogurt is a good source of protein, probiotics, and it strengthens the immune system. | By the way, what was that white sauce you added? |
| Yogurt, huh...? Maybe that'll make the curry turn white... | |||
| 4 | Curry Secret Ingredient: Worcestershire Sauce | This secret ingredient is a common condiment that adds an acidity and richness to the curry. It's perfect for adding another flavor profile.
|
By the way, what was that brown sauce you added? |
| Steak sauce, huh...? That should make the curry nice and meaty. | |||
| 5 | Curry Secret Ingredient: Chocolate | Chocolate, in small amounts, can be added as a secret ingredient to curry to elevate spices and give it a deep, rich flavor.
|
By the way, what was that brown stuff you added? |
| Wow, chocolate...! Wait, wouldn't that make the curry sweet...? | |||
| 6 | Curry Secret Ingredient: Coffee | When used in curry, instant coffee brings a bitterness and complexity to the dish, which enhances the curry flavor.
|
By the way, what was that brown powder you added? |
| Whoa, instant coffee...!? I never thought that would work in curry. | |||
| 7 | Curry Secret Ingredient: Red Wine | This alcoholic beverage is used to add acidity, richness, and depth to the curry. It also tenderizes the meat. The alcohol dissipates while stewing. Red wine contains antioxidants that protect the skin and prevents signs of aging. |
By the way, what was that red liquid you added? |
| Red wine, huh... That should give the curry an elegant flavor. | |||
| 8 | Spice: Cumin | This ancient spice is one of the main spices used in curry. Cumin is invaluable and is the source of curry's mouthwatering aroma.
|
By the way, you put some kind of powder in there, didn't you? |
| Hmm... Cumin... This is what makes curry smell like curry, huh... | |||
| 9 | Spice: Cardamom | Cardamom is one of the primary spices used to make curry. It has a refreshing aroma, sharp heat, and slight bitterness. Cardamom is more commonly used to reliably freshen bad breath, but it is also known to burn fat and help with digestion. |
By the way, what was that powder you threw in there? |
| Wow, carmadon? I mean... cardamom? | |||
| 10 | Spice: Cloves | One of the spices used in garam masala. It has a strong aroma and is often used for toothaches, deodorant, and hot drinks. Reports say that clove was used in medieval Europe to cast away demons because of its strong scent. |
By the way, what was that brown powder you added? |
| Cloves, huh... No relation to four-leaf clovers? | |||
| 11 | Spice: Coriander | A spice used in many curries. It gives a sweetness and adds a delicate softness to the flavor.
|
By the way, what was that powder you added? |
| Hmmm, coriander... Maybe we can call it curryander from now on? Actually, never mind. Bad idea. | |||
| 12 | Spice: Black Pepper | Black pepper is a common household spice with a refreshing aroma and a sharp flavor. It adds a depths of spice to curry.
|
By the way, what was that, uh... ah... Meow-CHOO! That... That was black pepper, right? |
| I never knew black pepper could be added to spice up the curry... | |||
| 13 | Spice: Cinnamon | A spice with distinguished, refreshing scent. Its unique combination of sweet and spicy adds great depth to a curry. Cinnamon is made from the dried bark of a cinnamon tree. It's commonly used in sweets, but can also be found in spice rubs. |
By the way, what were those twigs you added? You have the wrong idea if you think I'm some dumb reindeer!* |
| Cinnamon, huh... The name of that spice sounds cute... | |||
| 14 | Spice: Turmeric | A main ingredient in curry powder. It's a herbaceous perennial plant from the ginger family. It's often used to color foods yellow.
