Shop Inventories & Services

Navigating the various shops and services in Kamurocho and Onomichi is crucial for Kiryu's survival and success. This section details the key establishments, their unique offerings, and strategies for making the most of your yen.

Convenience Stores (Poppo & M Store)

These ubiquitous stores are your go-to for quick healing and stat-boosting items. While their inventories are largely similar, prices can occasionally vary slightly, so it pays to check both if you're on a tight budget. Always stock up on these before major story missions or challenging substories.

  • Locations:
    • Kamurocho: Poppo (Tenkaichi Street), Poppo (Shichifuku Street), M Store (Nakamichi Street).
    • Onomichi: Poppo (Central Shopping District), M Store (South of the Ropeway Station).
  • Key Items to Purchase:
    • Staminan X: Recovers a moderate amount of HP. Essential for combat.
    • Toughness Z: Recovers a moderate amount of HP and a small amount of Heat. Useful for extending Heat Actions.
    • Energy Drink: Recovers a small amount of HP. Good for topping off health after minor skirmishes.
    • Sushi Set / Bento Box: Provides a significant health boost and can be consumed on the go.
    • Alcoholic Beverages (e.g., Beer, Sake): While not directly healing, consuming these can sometimes trigger unique Heat Actions or fulfill requirements for certain substories.
  • Strategy: Purchase items in bulk when possible, especially during sales events which are occasionally announced via the in-game news feed or by nearby NPCs. Keep at least 5-7 healing items on hand at all times.

Drug Stores (Don Quijote & General Pharmacy)

For more potent healing and status-curing items, drug stores are your best bet. They also carry some unique accessories and food items not found elsewhere.

  • Locations:
    • Kamurocho: Don Quijote (Central Kamurocho), General Pharmacy (Taihei Blvd. East).
    • Onomichi: General Pharmacy (Jizo Street).
  • Key Items to Purchase:
    • Staminan Royale: Fully restores HP. Crucial for boss fights.
    • Toughness Emperor: Fully restores HP and a large amount of Heat. The ultimate combat consumable.
    • Revival Stone: Revives Kiryu with full health if he falls in battle (one-time use per item). Highly recommended for difficult encounters.
    • Antidote: Cures poison status.
    • Eye Drops: Cures blindness status.
  • Strategy: Prioritize purchasing a few Revival Stones before tackling any major boss. Don Quijote often has a wider selection of novelty items and accessories that can provide minor stat boosts.

Restaurants & Cafes

Eating at restaurants is not just for immersion; it's a vital way to gain experience points (EXP) across all five stats (Strength, Agility, Spirit, Technique, Charm). Different dishes offer varying EXP bonuses, and certain combinations can trigger "Meal Set Bonuses" for even greater gains.

  • Locations (Examples):
    • Kamurocho: Ringer Hut (Taihei Blvd.), Sushi Gin (Pink Street), Cafe Alps (Theater Square), Smile Burger (Nakamichi Street), Gindaco Highball Tavern (Theater Square).
    • Onomichi: La Pente (Central Shopping District), New Gaudi (Jizo Street), Yonetoku (Ropeway Street).
  • Services: Order food and drinks.
    • Meal Set Bonuses: Pay attention to the menu. Ordering specific combinations of dishes (e.g., a main, side, and drink) can grant significant bonus EXP. The game will often highlight these combinations.
    • EXP Gain: Each item contributes to your five EXP categories. Aim for balanced meals early on, then focus on specific stats needed for new skills.
  • Strategy: After completing a few fights or a substory, head to a restaurant to convert your earned money into valuable EXP. Experiment with different menus to discover all meal set bonuses. Keep an eye on your phone's "Food" app for a list of available restaurants and their menus.

Weapon & Gear Shops (Ebisu Pawn & Le Marche)

While Kiryu doesn't use traditional weapons in combat, these shops are crucial for acquiring and selling valuable gear, as well as unique items for substories or crafting.

  • Locations:
    • Kamurocho: Ebisu Pawn (Pink Street), Le Marche (Theater Square).
    • Onomichi: Ebisu Pawn (Jizo Street).
  • Services:
    • Ebisu Pawn: Buy and sell valuable items. This is your primary outlet for selling expensive plates (e.g., Platinum Plate, Gold Plate) found throughout the game or earned from mini-games. They also occasionally stock unique accessories.
    • Le Marche: A high-end boutique selling expensive accessories and clothing items. Some of these provide minor stat boosts or aesthetic changes. Essential for completing certain substories or hostess requests.
  • Strategy: Always sell your valuable plates at Ebisu Pawn for maximum profit. Check Le Marche periodically, especially if you're looking to complete your item collection or need specific fashion items for a substory.

R&D (Just Right)

Exclusive to Onomichi, this unique establishment allows Kiryu to develop new equipment and items using materials he collects.

  • Location: Just Right (North of the Ropeway Station, Onomichi).
  • Services:
    • Equipment Development: Bring collected materials (e.g., Iron Ore, Mysterious Stone, various animal parts) to the proprietor. He can craft powerful accessories, protective gear, and even some unique consumables.
    • Material Acquisition: Materials can be found through exploration (glowing spots on the ground), fishing, batting cages, and as rewards from substories or mini-games.
  • Strategy: Regularly visit Just Right and check the available development options. Prioritize crafting accessories that boost your attack, defense, or provide useful resistances. Don't hoard materials; use them to create powerful gear that will significantly aid Kiryu in combat.
