Nozomi Suemitsu, representing the Moon Arcana, is one of the many Social Links you can do in Persona 3 Reload. Unfortunately, unlocking Nozomi can be a chore in itself as you'll need to have started another Social Link and have Level 2 Charm. You'll also have to ace his quiz and bring him a specific HP-recovery item from Tartarus. What makes Nozomi's Social Link worth doing in Persona 3 Reload is how quickly it can be ranked up and its availability time.
Persona 3 Reload: How to Start the Moon Social Link (Nozomi Suemitsu)
There are several things you'll need to have done before you can take the Gourmet Quiz and unlock the Moon Social Link in Persona 3 Reload.
Moon Social Link General Information
What Days is Nozomi Suemitsu Available?
When you unlock Rank 3 of Kenji's Social Link (Magician), speak to himthe next day he's available and he'll mention someone named the Gourmet King at Paulownia Mall. From then on, you'll be able to find Nozomi Suemitsu sitting by the fountain at Paulownia Mall.
When you first meet Nozomi, you'll want to make sure you have Level 2 Charm (Unpolished). If you have enough, you can speak to him and try to ace his Gourmet Quiz. Then, you'll need to give him an Odd Morsel item, which is only obtainable in the chests in Tartarus (Thebel Block). It's a common item, so if you're speaking to Nozomi a bit later in your playthrough, then you should already have one on-hand.
Nozomi is one of the easier Social Links to max out. He's also the only "school-exclusive" Social Link that can be Ranked Up during summer break. Nozomi Suemitsu is available every day of the week.
If you plan on saving Nozomi's Social Link for summer, then you'll want to reach Rank 3 of Kenji's Social Link before summer break starts .
