The Forbidden Taste is one of the first side cases you can get in Lost Judgment. You can get this side case by interacting with a bulletin board located on the wall at the Yokohama 99 office. This side case is the most annoying one as you will have to help Joe-San an odd character in investigating the rumors of a ramen stall that only emerges at night can be located by following mystery cats. So in this guide, we will tell you how to complete the Forbidden Taste Side Case In Lost Judgment.

How To Complete The Forbidden Taste Side Case in Lost Judgment?

Once you get this side case, go to a restaurant named “Meng wu” located in China Town. You will find a man named “Joe-San” inside the restaurant. He will ask you to help him find the mysterious Ramen Stall, as he loves ramen and he hasn’t tasted the ramen available at Phantom Ramen Stand.

The quest will then begin, and the first thing you need to do is hit the start button to bring up your phone and then open the Buzz Research app. Open the keyword researcher and search for the Phantom Ramen Stall. Go to the marker location and hear the conversation of the people there. You will have to repeat this process several times as you need to get 3 hints to find the Phantom Ramen Stall by hearing the people’s conversations.

The Three clues that Yagami will get from the people’s conversation are as follow:

  • The Phantom Ramen Stall only appears at night.
  • You will have to follow the cats to find the Phantom Ramen Stall.
  • Cats are used in the broth.

Once you get all the three clues, return to Meng Wu and talk to Joe. He will tell you that you will have to befriend a cat to find the Phantom Ramen Shop.

How To Befriend a Cat in Lost Judgment:

You can see the cats marked on the map with a paw sign. There are two groups of cats, one of them can be found near Onodera’s Wares. Before going to them, you must buy some cat food from the nearest Poppo Mart first. After getting the cat food go to the blue marker on the map and try to befriend the cat. However, the cat will flee for the first time. Here’s are the things you need to know to befriend a cat:

  • Name the cat and remember it.
  • Offer the food to the cat twice.
  • Petting the cat.

If you follow these steps, you will be able to befriend a cat. But you must know that each time a random cat will greet you when you approach a cats’ group in Lost Judgment. You will have to wait until nighttime either by sleeping or fast-forwarding the time once you befriended a cat. The cat you befriended will then welcome you, and a cutscene will play in which the cat will take you to the mystery Phantom Ramen Stall and the Forbidden Taste side case will be completed.
