As you progress the story in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, you’ll unlock the Akame Network progression system that asks Kiryu to help out the residents of Sotenbori to expand Akame’s information network.
One of the recurring requests that pop up when you’re roaming the streets is for Okonomiyaki, a street dish that can only be obtained by buying it from a specific vendor in the game. Here is how to get it.
Where To Get Okonomiyaki
Okonomiyaki can only be purchased from Hiratai, a street food vendor on the Sotenbori Footpath (south) between Bishamon Bridge and Iwao Bridge in the northern section of Sotenbori.
Make your way to either bridge and look for the staircase leading down towards the river. If you’ve explored this area already, you’ll be able to mark the location on your map to show a highlighted path to Hiratai. Follow the green line to the shop and talk to the employee inside.
This food item is not pricey. There are three variations of Okonomiyaki available at the shop:
- Okonomiyaki (¥800)
- Okonomiyaki (Mochi & Cheese) (¥900)
- Okonomiyaki (Mentai Mayo) (¥900)
All versions of Okonomiyaki will work to complete the quest for people craving this street food. Pick anyone and buy a few so you always have some on hand to complete an Akame Quest when it pops up.
You can only carry 10 Okonomiyaki of one type at any one time. Players who don’t want to have to visit the shop again should stock up on all three, bringing the total count to 30. It’s unlikely you’ll need more than this throughout the game.
How To Use Okonomiyaki
There are three main uses of Okonomiyaki in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name.
- Complete Akame Network Quests: Once you unlock the Akame Network, Kiryu will encounter plenty of people craving some Okonomiyaki at every other street corner when he’s out in Sotenbori. After finding a request for it, you can track who requested the dish by going to the Akame Network from the pause screen and finding the request in the Support Map.
- Health Recovery: Okonomiyaki is an excellent health recovery item that can be used in a pinch to heal Kiryu when his health is low.
- Gift: Okonomiyaki can also be used as a gift at the Cabaret Club.
