Kitchen God (Japanese: 食神のほこら) is a bonus dungeon in  Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer that emphasizes obtaining and using Monster Meat. It is often referred to as the Kitchen God, Naoki the Wandering Chef Dungeon, Bufu's Dungeon, or the food dungeon. The entrance to this dungeon is in Bamboo Village, north of the Smiths, down a path by the Fortuneteller. You must first beat the main adventure and finish the Naoki and The Cliffs as well as the Gaibara's Pottery Quests to gain access to this dungeon.

Unique Features

The player may not bring items or Gitan into the dungeon, which also means he can not receive items when being rescued, but can bring Party Members with him and can keep items he has on hands if he either win or escapes.

The player starts with nothing but a Bufu's Cleaver and a Big Riceball. The Bufu Cleaver often turns enemies into meat, which can be used in multiple interesting ways. This emphasis on monster meat makes this bonus dungeon play radically differently than other dungeons in the game.

Goal and Final Reward

The goal is to find Naoki. He appears randomly starting from floor 25. This dungeon does not have a boss and the player can leave at any time by talking to Naoki on any floor starting from 25. If successful, the player gets a reward item of Half Warrior Meat.

Strategies

It is possible to beat the dungeon starting at experience level 1, which was the only option in the Super Famicom version of the game. However, in the DS version, you can level up first before entering and retaining your experience level, so if you're not deliberately trying to challenge yourself, it's recommended that you start at a level in the high teens. It also helps if you stretch your belly with riceballs up to 200% stomach size prior to entering the dungeon, as this allows you to take your time a bit more and collect extra staves.

To beat this dungeon, you must maximize the use of the Bufu Cleaver and minimize useless traveling. To survive, you must rely on the meat-drop attribute of the Bufu Cleaver to keep up a supply of meat, which gives 10 food value apiece.

Every random staff you find will be a Bufu's staff, so name it. Use Bufu's staff on as many Pacorepkins as you can find. A single Pacorepkin meat, when used properly, is capable of safely clearing out an entire floor/house of monsters before Death Angels start appearing. A couple of Evil General meats are good to have as well, but most other meats should be used to maintain fullness. On the last floors, you should have enough Bufu's staff charges and spare meat to get past the Death Angels and Skull Wraiths to find Naoki, especially if you expand your stomach before entering.

If you are planning to go to deep floors, try to increase Shiren's strength before entering the dungeon so defeating monsters gets easier.

Here are some useful meat tricks:

• Fluffy Bunny Meat works as a stronger Medicinal Herb (50 HP restored).
• Curse Girl (and above) Meats work as Blessing Scrolls on everything not in jars.
• Pacorepkin and any other ghost meat will let you fly through walls, which can be very useful on later floors when you just want to find Naoki or loot.
• Crossbowboy Meat lets you fire Iron Arrow. If you fill up a room with arrows by shooting them at walls, you can collect and use them once you transform back; this is an easy way to get 99 Iron Arrow.
• Dark Owl Meat works as a Scroll of Light, letting you see everything on the floor.
• Ark Dragon Meat lets you breathe fire to the nearest monster you face on the floor for 50 fixed damage. On deep floors, this can help you clear an entire floor of dangerous monsters without having to fight them directly.
