Hina and Her Soba in Detail

Let's so straight to the point. How do you get the Housewife Hina and then receive Soba from her?

There are two main stages:

1. Getting Hina to visit
2. Serve a Rice dish

Pic 1 : Hina's Arrival

Pic 2 : Steps of Getting Hina

The sequence is like this :

Artist -> Lingerie Seller -> Adventurer -> Singer -> Celebrity -> TV Personality -> Exec. Assistant -> Hina

Artist gives Point Card.

Lingerie Seller gives Hostel Promotion.

Adventurer gives Theme Song.

Singer gives Add Spring Water.

Celebrity gives Endorsement.

TV Personality gives Free Vouchers.

Exec. Assistant does give you a plan but it does not help getting Hina.

Therefore, to quickly get Hina, the best way is to run those plans as soon as you can. Once you run the plan, the next housewife starts visiting. If the plan is not done by the time that particular housewife reaches 100 points, the next housewife will start coming anyway.

There isn't a plan from Exec. Assistant you can run to get Hina though. You will just have to wait until Exec. Assistant reaches 100 points. Although, I've read if you have Seafood Soup on the Menu, it will also trigger Hina's visit. ( I didn't have Seafood Soup on my Menu when Hina came. But you can give it a go if you are curious. )

Now, Stage 2 : Let's Serve Rice

Most people have trouble here. I was suggested serving Crab Fried Rice last time but it took ages so I decided to server all kinds of Rice dishes and finally got her. This time, I decided to try just plain Rice ( 4 Stars, Brain up 73, Aroma 90, Appearance 22, the rest 100 ). Hina came in, tried the Rice and gave me the Soba straight away.

I've also noticed, if she followed her friends in, even if she tried the Rice, she wouldn't say a word. That is why sometimes we need to wait a bit.

I was just curious so I reloaded the game and tried serving Crab Fried Rice. ( 5 Stars ) Five months passed and she had tried the dish many times but she just kept quiet. So I am wondering, since Crab Fried Rice worked for some people, maybe it's a little random each playthough?

I hope this helps people getting the Soba. If you have any questions, please leave a comment and we will try and work it out together.

Hina's Soba

I finally got my Soba dish from the Housewife Hina. It took me a few game years.

I decided to have all three restaurants serving rice dishes only. One fine afternoon, Hina came and tried one of the dishes. She walked up to me and said (with tears in her eyes) "Thank you for your delicious rice." while holding a bowl of soba noodles.  :p   I am not sure which rice dish she liked the best. Most people mentioned it would be the Crab Fried Rice. I did not care. I quickly thanked her and took the Soba off her hand.  :p

It is not a big deal without Soba. It just feels like I didn't get that point if I didn't have it. I will try serving her a rice dish when I invite her next time in the new game. Maybe that will make things easier.

"To get soba, you need to first unlock all housewife clientele. You start with artist, who gives you the point card plan. That plan unlocks Lingerie Seller. She'll give you the inn alliance plan, which unlocks the Adventurer. The Adventurer gives you the theme song plan, which unlocks the Singer. The Singer gives you the mineral water plan, which unlocks the Celebrity. She gives you the celebrity endorsement plan, which unlocks the TV Personality. The TV Personality gives you the free meal ticket plan, which unlocks the Executive Secretary. Finally, when you have enough points from the Executive Secretary AND you have Seafood Soup on the menu, the final housewife, Hina, will approach you about wanting to try your soup, which unlocks her. You must also have Rice on the menu because she will only give you the soba if she eats the rice."  ----  Sandiera Kairospot

Now that's one thing done. I will get back to developing new dishes again.  :D
