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.
Item | Description |
---|---|
Chocolate Truffle | Made at the cooking club. Might make a good gift. |
Sweet Fries | Made at the cooking club. Might make a good gift. |
Sugar Cookie | Made at the cooking club. Might make a good gift. |

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[]
- 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 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[]
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.

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 really has a lot of ingredients, doesn't it? Did I see you put fruit in there? |
Wow, I didn't think apples would go 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, honey will 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. | Hm, what was that sticky stuff you put in...? |
Wow, I never thought honey would go well with spicy curry. I guess 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. | Hm, what was that white stuff you put in...? |
Yogurt, huh...? Maybe that'll make the curry turn white... | |||
4 | Curry Secret Ingredient: Steak 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. Oyster sauce can be used as well. They add depth and a mature flavor, as if the curry was allowed to rest overnight. |

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. However, if too much chocolate is added, it will destroy the flavor balance completely. |
Hm, what was that brown stuff you put in...? |
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. Coffee has anti-aging and slimming properties, but in large amounts will cause the curry to become bitter. Take caution and add slowly. |
Hm, what was that brown powder you put in...? |
Whoa, instant coffee...!? I never thought that would work in curry. | |||
7 | Curry Secret Ingredient: Red Wine | This alcoholic beverage is used as a secret ingredient 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. |
Hm, what was that red stuff you put in...? |
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. Cumin is known for its curative properties, aiding in digestion, treating stomach pains, and improving liver function. |
Hm, 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 main spices used in curry. It has a refreshing aroma, sharp spiciness, 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. |
Hm, what was that powder you put in...? |
Wow... Carmadon? I mean... cardamom? | |||
10 | Spice: Clove | One of the spices used in garam masala. It has a strong aroma and is often used to cure tooth aches, as a deodorizer, and in hot drinks. Reports say that clove was used in medieval Europe to cast away demons because of its strong scent. |
Hm, what was that brown powder you put in...? |
Clove, 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. The whole plant is edible. The seeds are dried and used as a spice, while the fresh leaves are better known as cilantro. |
Hm, what was that powder you put in...? |
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 houshold spice with a refreshing aroma and a sharp flavor. It adds a depths of spice to curry. Black, green and white pepper are all made from the same plant. The flavor changes due to the differential treatment of the peppercorn. |
Hm, what was that... Ah... Ahhh... 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 aroma. Its combination of sweet and spicy adds a great layer of depth to the 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. |
Hm, what were those twigs you put in...? 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. Turmeric has a sharp, slightly bitter flavor. In Sri Lanka, it is used in place of saffron to dye cloth. |
Hm, what was that yellow powder you put in...? |
Turmeric, huh... So this is what gives curry its color... | |||
15 | Spice: Nutmeg | One of the most used spices in the world. It has a mild earthiness and a sweet, refreshing scent. It is a main ingredient in garam masala. Known for its warming effects, nutmeg is recommended for people who get cold easily and those who suffer from stomach issues. |
Hm, what was that powder you put in...? |
Ah... nutmeg. My favorite nut is the cashew though! |
