1-Berry Daifuku2-Overview42Berry Daifuku is a cooking recipe in Starsand Island that produces a mochi-style dessert with a valuable utility buff. It requires three ingredients: Strawberry, Sugar, and Flour. The finished dish restores +116 stamina and grants the Pet Pal buff, which causes pets to actively approach the player and provides a large boost to pet affection.64Berry Daifuku is one of the more notable recipes for players who are focused on pet-related gameplay. The Pet Pal buff makes befriending and adopting pets significantly easier, cutting down the time needed to build affection with wild animals. The recipe itself is purchased from the Aureleaf Kitchen in Starsand Town for 360 coins, making it accessible relatively early in the game once the player has a few hundred coins saved up.86Recipe Details108AttributeValueRecipe NameBerry DaifukuCategoryDish (Dessert)Cooking StationGas Stove or CampfireStamina Restored+116BuffPet PalBuff EffectPets will actively come to you.

When you eat a Berry Daifuku, you receive a timed buff that has two effects: pets will actively come to you, and you receive a large affection boost with any pet you interact with during the buff's duration.1816This makes Berry Daifuku extremely useful when you are trying to befriend wild animals for pet adoption. Normally, building enough affection with a wild animal to adopt it requires multiple days of gift-giving and interactions. With the Pet Pal buff active, each interaction grants significantly more affection, reducing the number of days needed to reach the adoption threshold.2018The buff is also helpful for maintaining existing pet relationships. If you have multiple pets on your farm and want to keep their affection levels high, eating a Berry Daifuku before your daily pet interactions ensures you get the most out of each petting and feeding session.2220Where to Get the Recipe2422The Berry Daifuku recipe is purchased from the Aureleaf Kitchen in Starsand Town for 360 coins. To buy it, visit the restaurant between 8:00 AM and 10:00 PM and interact with the cash register at the counter. The recipe is a one-time purchase that permanently adds Berry Daifuku to your cooking menu.2624The Aureleaf Kitchen is run by Aurelis, who also sells other recipe scrolls and prepared dishes. Browse the full recipe list at the register to see what else is available. If you do not see Berry Daifuku in the shop, check whether you need to progress further in the game or have already purchased it.2826Ingredient Sourcing3028Berry Daifuku requires three ingredients from different production chains: farming, and two processed goods from the Separator. None of the ingredients require fishing, foraging rare items, or animal byproducts, which makes this recipe fairly accessible once you have basic farming and processing set up.3230Strawberry3432Strawberry is a crop that grows during Spring and Winter. Seeds can be purchased from Graminova at the Happiness Seed Shop. Strawberry plants take about 5 days to mature and yield 4 berries per harvest, so a single harvest provides enough Strawberries for four batches of Berry Daifuku.3634Since you only need 1 Strawberry per dish, this ingredient is rarely the bottleneck. Plant a small row of Strawberries during their growing seasons and store extras in a chest for later use.3836Sugar4038Sugar is produced by processing Sugarcane or Beetroot in the Separator. Berry Daifuku requires 3 Sugar per serving, making this the most demanding ingredient by volume. Sugarcane is an all-season crop that grows in Paddy Fields, so you can produce Sugar year-round without seasonal restrictions.4240The Separator blueprint is purchased from Zerine's General Store and built at your worktable using 3 Stone, 3 Softwood, and 5 Fiber. If you plan to cook Berry Daifuku regularly, consider building multiple Separators to process Sugar and Flour simultaneously.4442Flour4644Flour is made by processing Wheat in the Separator. You need 3 Flour per serving, the same volume as Sugar. Wheat seeds are available from Graminova at the Happiness Seed Shop and can be planted in standard crop tiles.4846Wheat is one of the earliest and easiest crops to grow, making Flour straightforward to produce in bulk. Keep a dedicated patch of Wheat growing on your farm and process it through the Separator whenever you need more Flour. Since Berry Daifuku uses 3 Flour and 3 Sugar per cook, both processed ingredients deplete at the same rate.5048Profitability5250At a sell price of 297 coins, Berry Daifuku sits in the mid-range of cooked dishes. It is not the most profitable recipe available, but its real value comes from the Pet Pal buff rather than its resale potential. Players who are not actively working on pet adoption or affection may find other dishes more profitable to cook and sell.5452Here is how Berry Daifuku compares to other recipes in a similar price range:5654RecipeKey IngredientsStaminaSell PriceBuffBerry Daifuku1 Strawberry, 3 Sugar, 3 Flour+116297 coinsPet PalStrawberry Mousse1 Milk, 2 Sugar, 1 Strawberry+131374 coinsNoneSoup Dumplings3 Flour, 1 Meat Bites, 1 Veg.

If you need Forest's Gift for gathering, cook Soup Dumplings. If you are working on pet adoption, Berry Daifuku is the clear choice.5957Selling Berry Daifuku to the Merchant Ship on Monday at 200% price brings the value up to 594 coins per dish. This is a reasonable return if you have surplus Berry Daifuku that you do not plan to eat.6159Gifting6361Berry Daifuku can also be given as a gift to certain NPCs.

Check each character's full gift preferences in the Gift Guide to find their loved items for maximum affection gains.6866Related Recipes7068If you are looking for other recipes with useful buffs or similar ingredients, consider these options:7270Soup Dumplings: Uses 3 Flour like Berry Daifuku but grants the Forest's Gift buff instead. Good for resource gathering.Strawberry Mousse: Another Strawberry-based dessert with higher stamina (+131) and sell price (374 coins), but no buff.Mirthshroom Soup: Grants the Creamy Seeds buff, which gives a small chance to receive immortal seeds on harvest. One of the best utility buff foods in the game.Strawberry Jam: Made from Strawberries in the Jam Maker. A simpler alternative use for your Strawberry harvest.Laba Congee: Another recipe that uses Sugar. If you are processing Sugar in bulk for Berry Daifuku, you can set some aside for Laba Congee as well.7472Tips7674Cook Berry Daifuku before visiting areas with wild animals you want to adopt. The Pet Pal buff will draw pets toward you and boost affection gains from each interaction.Sugar and Flour are needed in equal amounts (3 each). Dedicate separate Separators to process Sugarcane and Wheat at the same time so neither ingredient becomes a bottleneck.Each Strawberry harvest yields 4 berries, and each Berry Daifuku needs only 1. A single harvest provides enough for four batches.The recipe costs 360 coins at the Aureleaf Kitchen. Buy it early if you plan to adopt pets, since the Pet Pal buff makes the adoption process much faster.Sugarcane grows in Paddy Fields and has no seasonal restriction. Keep a few tiles of Sugarcane planted year-round to maintain a steady Sugar supply for Berry Daifuku and other recipes.If you have extra Berry Daifuku that you do not need for the buff, give them to Charlene or Momo as gifts, or sell them to the Merchant Ship on Monday for double the normal sell price (594 coins).Berry Daifuku is best used for its buff rather than as a stamina food. At +116 stamina, it is decent but not outstanding. For pure stamina recovery, higher-tier dishes like Strawberry Mousse (+131) or cake recipes (+143) are more efficient.
