Pony Inuzuka (high discern - you'll get "high-quality stuff" and better for all initially available ingredients plus Anko, without spending a lot of Sushi Coins).Haruo Enokida (high prep - you need him to make recipes involving Ika early on).Must-have staff (reload the savegame until you can hire both at once): Run the Want Ad proposal, and save the game as soon as you see the message that it's complete. Dismiss him/her instead, and wait until you can start running Consulting proposals. When you have your first staff, unless this is your first time playing the game, do not train him/her or create any new recipes. The initial cost is only 10,000 yen, but this cost does go up - after about 5-10 other proposals, the cost will have ballooned past 20,000 yen. When you have the ability to do Consulting proposals, run PR: Offices right away. (p.s: its best to focus mostly on dishes that have Madai as they can help you win almost every contest) The recipe should have final values of 16+ Flavor, 12+ Texture, 10+ Aroma and 10+ Color, with very high compatibility to all gender and age groups. Use all storebought items, Price Seeds, and all special powders to this recipe.Recipe is Madai (base ingredient) + Akagai + Lemon (A compatibility to both) + Onion (B to Madai, A to Akagai) - do this as soon as Madai becomes available to Consulting at Y14 M2. You need high values on all attributes EXCEPT Aroma. Kairo Cup (#15): You're up against a score of 29 by entry #1, so a perfect score is crucial.I received a perfect score, despite having low compatibility with the 2 female youths. The resulting recipe resembles that of a male genitalia, with the Aroma value sitting above 20 this is done with both chefs Hikaru Shirai and Futoshi Asaryu at Level 9. Recipe is, as Makizushi, Matsutake (base ingredient, very high starting Aroma value) + Maguro + Maguro. I did this as sort of a joke, and never anticipated winning with a perfect score.If you do not have access to Matsutake yet, use the recipe for Kairo Cup instead. Showbiz Contest (#13): This contest pits you against very high aroma values, with judges being 2 female youths and one male adult.

Recipe is, as Gunkan, Uni (base ingredient) + Umibudo + Lemon =. Mermaid Contest (#11), Japan Championship (#12), and International Contest (#14): I used only one entry for all three contests, so I didn't attain a perfect score (but managed to win nonetheless) for #14.You can wait until around Y14 and Y15, as the rewards are nothing special. Makizushi Contest (#10): Maguro + Ika + Unagi.Sugamo Sushi Contest (#9): Tako + Daikon Oroshi + Cheese =.Kanto Contest (#8): Hamachi + Neriume + Asatsuki =.Price Seeds and Sashimi Knives are very useful here to boost the Color value.
