Genshin Impact Special Dishes: Sumeru Characters

*Sumeru’s taverns are cozy and provide a great environment to debate with your friends while you dine or play Genius Invokation TCG.*

Sumeru: An Aromatic Appetite Adventure

In Genshin Impact, there are many interesting characters from all occupations and walks of life. There are many ways to get to know them, from story quests to hangout quests to limited-time events.

A fun way to learn more about your favorite Genshin Impact characters is through cooking. Each character puts a unique spin on a recipe, reflecting their individual personalities and providing stat bonuses or added effects.

Cook a bunch of Mushroom Hodgepodges with Tighnari, for example, and you’ll get Tighnari’s Forest Watcher’s Choice, which has mushroom varieties handpicked by Tighnari himself for an improved flavor profile (and improved stats!).

Here’s a guide to the special dishes for the characters from the nation of Sumeru, with recipes and where to get them, ingredients for each dish, and the effects of eating the dishes. I included the Wanderer here and not in the Inazuma guide since he was released during the Sumeru patches (he’s happier in Sumeru, anyways). Spice up your life with delicious food from Sumeru!
