You’ll know when you get one from another party member because they will directly text you and ask you to come speak with them. Completing all of these special friend requests will give you the What are Friends For? trophy/achievement.
Remember that you must always accept these from the request portion of your menu to activate them. After completing one, go back into your request menu and report it to finish it. A black checkmark next to a quest means you’ve accepted it. A red one means it is done and ready to be turned in.
If a fellow Phantom Thief hasn’t texted you about a request during the day it’s supposed to happen, try proceeding further into the story. In some instances, the story forces you out of the Metaverse anyway, and that’s when some of these can pop up.

Cooking Papa: Talk to Zenkichi to get the request, then accept it in your menu. Talk to Haru, and you’ll receive a new one called Obanzai Ingredients, where you’ll have to purchase several ingredients. Accept it in your menu.
You can buy Kamo-Nasu Eggplant at the Unwhat Groceries in the Shinsekai Tower area. However, it seems like Beef and Tofu are nowhere to be found in this area. You can buy them from Sophia’s online shop.

You can get both Kyoto Curry and Miso Ramen by cooking them in your RV hideout. The Kyoto Curry recipe is given to you automatically as part of a previous story event. Miso Ramen is a recipe you obtained back at Sapporo earlier in the game. If you missed it before, you can purchase it at Sophia’s online shop at a hugely marked-up price.
After reporting in Futaba’s request, you’ll automatically be able to report Zenkichi’s request, Cooking Papa.
If you’ve been following this guide and finished all of the requests from your crew, then the What are Friends For? trophy/achievement should pop up. For more on Persona 5 Strikers, stay tuned to GameSkinny.
