Food

is essential for life - and with the case of Yo-kai, it is no exception. They are found in the Food tab in the Inventory.

In the games, foods are used for healing the injuries of a player's Yo-kai friend(s) and replenish their Soultimate Gauge(s), as well as swaying enemy Yo-kai to join the player's side and as means for completing certain requests. Yo-kai will like certain food types better than others, and are thusly known as their.

In Yo-kai Watch: Wibble Wobble, however, Food is used only for befriending Yo-kai, and their favorite foods are automatically shown when you choose to give them food to increase the chances of them befriending you.

Trivia

 * The Candy type's Japanese name, dagashi, refers to a type of candy and snacks that became widespread after World War II. Mainly marketed to children with small allowances, they are very cheap and feature brightly-colored packaging, and occasionally come with small prizes like figurines and free snack tickets. Though the term usually refers to sweet candy, it can also include snacks like senbei (flavoured rice crackers), umaibō (stick-shaped corn snacks) and candied fruit. They used to be sold in dedicated shops called dagashi-ya, but are now increasingly sold in convenience stores as well.
 * Gooey Candy is neri-ame (ねり飴, "kneaded candy"), a syrup-like candy that is meant to be poured on chopsticks and kneaded until it changes consistency.
