Yuugi is an NPC and Rare Customer found in Former Hell. This location and NPC are from DLC 2.

## Descriptions

### Bond Lv1

An oni who left Gensokyo a long time ago. She's got the spirit of an older sister with a firm and straightforward personality. She currently manages the hot springs in the streets of Former Hell. Let's go for a bath sometime!

### Bond Lv3

It turns out Miss Yuugi was once one of the Big Four of the Mountain. Rumors say she has an abnormal amount of strength, her grip is almost unmatched even among the oni. I never thought I'd be able to meet such a powerful youkai... I'm a little nervous.

### Bond Lv5

I thought oni had already lost interest in humans... but in reality Miss Yuugi secretly envies her companions freely moving about on the surface. If you're interested in the surface, just go there! That's how an oni should act!

## Strategies

Yuugi likes a large amount of tags, many of which are unfortunately difficult.

Out of these, Strength-Boosting, Aura-Bursting and Japanese cannot be added with ingredients. The only instances of these tags overlapping are Giant Tamagoyaki and Tempura Platter which both only have Japanese and Strength-Boosting. Giant Tamagoyaki is gained through bonding with Yuugi. Note that filling recipes cannot have Good with Alcohol. Tempura Platter by itself already satisfies Good with Alcohol and Signature, in addition to Japanese and Strength-Boosting, making it an excellent choice.

Immortal Turkey satisfies Aura-Bursting, Legendary and Large Portion. Although you cannot add additional ingredients onto it, by pairing it with a beverage with the tag she asked for, it nevertheless is enough to get a pink rating from her.

No recipe has all three of these tags. Use whatever has the requested one: add Good with Alcohol through Radish, Signature through Lamprey, Legendary through any ingredient that has it (Iberico Pork or Wagyu Beef is a good idea), or hit the ingredient limit of 5 for Large Portion to fulfill further tags and gain more points.

Beer can only be filled with ZUN Beer and Qilin if you have DLC3. Tengu Tango is High Alcohol+Sake, Godfather is High Alcohol+Vintage: use whichever has the needed tag.

Yuugi is a **decent priority character.** Her Lv5 reward is entirely cosmetic, but her recipes are quite useful, while her spell card is a great way to turn your less valuable drinks into rarer, better ones. Oedo Boat Feast in particular is the single most expensive recipe in the game: with proper setup, using it is part of the strategies that can gain the most money in the span of one day.
