The world of Stardew Valley is full of great food, but one of the most versatile items is the Maki Roll. A Maki Roll is a delightful combination of fish and rice enclosed in seaweed that fills your gut and completes some specified tasks. This guide runs through all the ways to acquire maki rolls, so you're never without your favourite treat.
Understanding the Recipe: Two Paths to Maki Mastery
Before you go and enjoy making your own Maki Rolls, you'll have to unlock the recipe. There are two different ways:
Watch that cooking show: The Queen of Sauce is an in-game, reoccurring TV show that airs its cooking channel every Sunday. If you tune in on Summer 21 Year 1, you'll learn how to make Maki Roll.
Visit the Stardrop Saloon: Gus, the jolly owner of the Stardrop Saloon, has a couple of recipes for sale as well. Pop in the Saloon, and for a meagre fee of 300g, you can have the Maki Roll recipe in your cooking collection.
Beyond the Kitchen: Alternative Ways to Procure Items
Making your maki rolls has to be satisfying, but there are ways to get them in Stardew Valley:
Krobus' Shop
Krobus is a mysterious creature living inside the sewer. He runs a small shop which can be accessed through a tunnel behind the community center. On Saturdays, there may be Maki Rolls for sale in his shop.
The Dish of the Day: The Stardrop Saloon menu is dynamic—it changes daily. Sometimes, the Dish of the Day will be Maki Rolls. In case it might be a convenient thing for you, should you have not gotten the recipe yet or if you simply did not feel like cooking one day,
A Gift From the Garbage (sort of): This isn't the most glamorous method, but the old and faithful—not so much—down by the landfill can sometimes surprise a player with some pretty amazing things. There is a slight chance that you may find a Maki Roll that has been thrown away, a free if not sort of questionable way to satisfy your hunger.
Linus' Culinary Generosity: Befriending the hermit who lives in the mountains could surprise a player with somewhat unlikely good rewards. Sometimes, he'll even mail you a Maki Roll, reminding us that friends who eat together stay together.
