Behavior

• Coming in contact with an enemy or an enemy attack and taking HP damage will result in the primary buff getting halved. Active items, skills, and Special Attacks that can negate damage will prevent this from happening.
  • As of version 0.7, there is one sole exception to this. While Headphones can prevent HP damage, it fails to preserve the primary buff.
• The primary buff is not affected by indirect sources of HP damage. These are:
  • Delayed damage carrying over from shield to HP when both Body Pillow and Plushie are in use.
  • HP loss from Injection Type Asacoco.
  • Pickup damage from Simp Of All Time.
• As for the secondary buff, the following count as "eating food":

Character	Effect	Details
-	Food	Only as a drop, not when selected in the Level Up menu.
	Jingisukan	Healing effect counts as a food heal.
Inugami Korone	Choco Coronet	Choco Coronets count as food heals.
Nekomata Okayu	Feast	Additional food items count as food heals.
	Sensitive Voice	Charmed fans count as food heals.
	Mogu Mogu	Devoured fans count as food heals.
Yozora Mel	Mel Mel Cooking	Mel Mel Cooking dishes count as food heals.
Yuzuki Choco	Chocotto Cooking	Healing effect counts as a food heal.

• The Super version of this item includes the +5% crit buff from eating food. The aiming penalty can be negated with a max rank Kusogaki Shackles, or by being used in Snow Queen. When using the Super version to create Snow Queen a 10% crit buff remains active, effectively keeping the original 30% crit buff.

Super Collabs

This item, or its super variant, can be used in the following Super Collabs:

• Snow Queen – Collaboration with Snow Flower Sake

Tips

• Purely from a damage perspective, without any buffs to critical damage, it takes a Crit rate of 60% to match Face Mask and 80% to match a fully upgraded Gorilla's Paw.
  • With Hope Soda equipped, the percentages are 30% and 40% respectively.
• Often coupled with Body Pillow, in the interest of preserving the buff.
• Synergizes well with items and skills that increase food drop rate, like Uber Sheep and Yummy.
• Best used on Crit-oriented characters that have easy access to increased critical damage, or gain additional benefits from dealing critical hits.
  • Examples: Hakos Baelz, IRyS, Nekomata Okayu, Pavolia Reine, Yuzuki Choco

Trivia

• Similar to BL Book, Sake is a reference to multiple members of Hololive, but more specifically to one for whom the item is a staple. In this case, while there are several drinkers among Hololive talents and Japanese sake is a popular beverage among them, Yukihana Lamy is the one with whom sake bottles, like the one depicted in game, is most commonly associated with. She is often depicted in both 3D and 2D streams with a sake bottle, including one episode of Holo no Graffiti.
  • Lamy has her own official sake line whose creation she helped supervise, which won a Bronze Medal at the International Wine Challenge 2022.
