"What are God Recipes?"

God Recipes are physical book-like items with QR codes printed on them released by Bandai between 2020-2021 to be scanned for use within the Nintendo Switch video game Tabe-O-Ja. They are no longer on the market as of 2022. They have two uses: (1) Scanned once per save file to add the pictured monster (Tabegami) character to your roster. (2) Scan once daily for a random item with the game's Lottery feature. These are all codes compiled from multiple sources by users of the Tabe-O-Ja Discord community.

"How do I use these?"

Below is a list of QR codes derived from physical God Recipes. In game, you must go to the Summon (召喚) menu to scan in your new God Recipes. The game will show you what the Right Joy-Con's IR camera is looking at, so make sure to position it over the QR code until the game recognizes it. These codes are best recognized if you print them onto a sheet of paper, not too large or too small, for scanning. Pointing the IR camera at a surface such as a smartphone screen makes it appear totally black, thus it's unreadable by the game.

"The one I need/want is missing!"

Don't fret, you may be able to obtain certain Tabegami by Evolution or Taste Change. Required items needed for this can all be found in game (check the items you can win tab for each quest), just keep battling!

Tabegami: Ryou-ou Hajime Max (涼王ハジメマックス) Battle Type: Crusher (クラッシャー) Special Attack: Introducing the Cold Ramen Tower! (冷やし中華タワーはじめました) Soul Ingredient: HAJIMEN Broth (HAJIMENつゆ) Can be found in: Obtained through in-game event. Description: A Tabegami who descended from cold Chinese noodles. He is the rival of Yaō Mega Mosa Death Max. With his cool-looking eyes and detached tone, he may sing the praises of love and healing, but in reality, he has a ruthlessly cold personality. He will stop at nothing to reach the top. He often tries to attract women with trivia like, “Did you know cold Chinese noodles are actually a Japanese dish?” If the person doesn’t answer the phone, he’ll say, “Cold Chinese noodles… oh, you’re on the line, are you?” 「冷やし中華から降臨したタベガミ。夜王MEGA盛デスマックスのライバル。涼し気な目元と、クールな口調で愛や癒しを謳ってはいるが、本当は冷酷無比な性格。頂点を取るためには、手段は選ばない。「冷やし中華って日本発祥の和食らしいよ」という雑学トークから女性の気を引くパターンが多い。相手が電話に出ないと「冷やし中華、いや、話し中か…」と言う。」 Dish name: Chilled Ramen Tower HAJIME (冷やし中華タワーHAJIME)

Yes, but if you wish to summon Tabegami using God Codes, you will need a Right Joy-Con from the Switch 1, as the Switch 2 Joy-Cons lack the IR camera.

Everything else operates the same on Switch 2.

He is knowledgeable about the Tabegami world, and is good friends with Kaeru, a food hunter, with whom he gets excited talking about meat. He is generally expressionless, but when he gets angry he will mutter "Nikui." His birthday is November 29th. 「市場でデリカテッセンを営む謎多きタベガミ。誰が召喚したのか、なぜ店を経営しているのか、すべてが謎に包まれた存在。しかし店に並ぶ肉はいいものばかり、しかも親切に自分の体に部位の名称を書いているので、一般客のみならず街のタベオウジャにも人気がある。タベガミ界に詳しく、食材ハンターのカイルと仲が良く、肉の話で盛り上がる。基本的には無表情だが、腹が立つと「憎い」と呟く。誕生日は11月29日。」 Dish name: Nikuo's Pork Chop (ニクオのポークチョップ)

Tabe-O-Ja God Recipe Legend Infinite Phoenix Homura

タベオウジャ 神レシピレジェンド 無限鳳凰ホムラ Description: A legendary warrior who once made a name for himself at the Tabegami Colosseum. This Tabegami was born from Margherita pizza, the simplest and most popular of all pizzas. If you say this, he will say, "This is not a pizza," and pour melted cheese on it. He is earnest and silent, but not stubborn; rather, when it comes to combat, he has as flexible a mindset as cheese. His weapons are a giant pizza cutter and a shield made of pizza. If you say this, he will say, "This is not a pizza," and pour spicy oil on it a second time. 「かつてタベガミコロッセオで名をはせた伝説の戦士。ピザの中でも最もシンプルで、最もポピュラーなマルゲリータピザから生まれたタベガミ。…と言うと、「ピザではないピッツァだ」とトロトロチーズをかけてくる。真面目で寡黙だが石頭ではなく、むしろ戦闘に関してはチーズくらい柔軟な思考で臨む。武器は巨大なピザカッターとピザでできた盾。…と言うと、「ピザではないピッツァだ」と二度目は辛味オイルをかけてくる。」 Dish name: Colosseum Margherita Pizza (ピッツァコロッセオ・マルゲリータ)

(タベオウジャ 神レシピ ウズシオ醤油味 TB03) Description: This Tabegami is a pizza-loving creature with fresh tomato sauce and hot, melted cheese on its head. It can attack enemies by extending its long cheese tongue like a whip. It can also be used to wrap it around objects and remove things like Tabasco. It's hard to tell what it's thinking, but it's open-minded to pizza lovers and will deliver pizza to them. If it can't be delivered within 30 minutes, it'll apparently be free. 「フレッシュなトマトソースと、アツアツのとろけるチーズのピザを頭に乗せたタベガミ。長～いチーズの舌をムチのように伸ばして敵を攻撃する。またタバスコなど、物に巻きつけて取ったりするのにも使える。何を考えているのかよく分からないが、ピザ好きの人には心を開いており、ピザをデリバリーしてくれたりする。30分以内に届けられない場合は、ちゃんと無料にしてくれるらしい。」 Dish name: Chameleon Pizza (カメレオンピッツァ)
