Japan is world famous for its food, but although you can’t sample it for yourself while you’re playing Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Naoe and Yasuke can still purchase local delicacies from Food Vendors in the different regions they visit.
Whether it’s fermented soybeans, known as natto, from the port town of Sakai or thick udon noodles from Shingu, there are all sorts of cuisines to discover.
Sampling local food when visiting a new location is something of a tradition in Japan, where the word “omiyage”, meaning “souvineer”, is often used to refer to local snacks packaged to give as a gift to friends and family or just as a special treat for yourself. But unfortunately, they didn’t have Tokyo Bananas in 1600.
To whet your appetite, here’s where to find all 16 local food vendors for the Feast for Thought quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
