The Portable Sunset (ユウヒノミ) is a fruit that appears in Pikmin 3. At first glance, it appears to be a Love Nugget (which is a tomato), but it is actually a persimmon fruit. It produces 2 cups of juice, and is found in two spots in the game. It currently has not appeared in Mission Mode.
How to Obtain
There are 2 Portable Sunsets in Pikmin 3's main story: one in the Distant Tundra and one in the Twilight River.
Distant Tundra
The Portable Sunset in the Distant Tundra requires Blue Pikmin to obtain. It is hanging from a branch above a small pond near a Bearded Amprat and a Bouncy Mushroom. By throwing 8 Pikmin onto the fruit, it will fall into the water, from where the blue Pikmin can retrieve it. It is advised to bring some Yellow Pikmin to take care of the few Amprats along the way.
Twilight River
The Portable Sunset in the Twilight River is found right beyond a Bamboo Gate. This fruit is guarded by 3 Orange Bulborbs. If the player does not have enough Winged Pikmin, they will have to go head to head with the Orange Bulborbs. Alternatively, simply throw 8 winged Pikmin over to the fruit, and they will lift it over the gate easily, without even waking up the Orange Bulborbs.
Notes
Brittany's American Comments
"Look at the colors! It reminds me of the time I melted all my crayons and tried to combine them together into a super crayon. I really thought that would work... Anyway, Alph doesn't like the smell of this fruit, but he doesn't have a sophisticated nose palate like I do."
Brittany's European Comments
"This radiant specimen should remind me of childhood on Koppai, when we'd watch the sunset while enjoying a big dinner. But instead it makes me think of the onset of night on this planet, and the monstrosities that brings. I've covered it up so we can sleep in peace."
