Samurai Food

A Samurai's food choices depend mostly on whether you want a bonus of Attack, Strength or Accuracy, and on how much money you have. Here are the choices:

Rice Balls and AF

*** Tonosama Rice Balls (and Shogun Rice Balls if you have the cash) have extra effects if you're wearing your AF gloves, the Myochin Kote. For this reason, rice balls are usually the best food when you're wearing these gloves. These effects are in addition to the effects listed above.
