With all of the combat action going on in Yakuza 0, it’s important to keep your health bar full. This is especially true when you are forced to fight mobs of bad guys all by yourself.
In the heat of battle, you will need to quickly choose which health item is going to help you the most, and you will have a limited inventory to store these items.
Different health items will restore your health more than others, and some will even fill your Heat gauge so you can land some deadly fighting combos.
Keep reading for the top 5 best healing items in Yakuza 0, and where they are found.
5. Toughness Emperor
Toughness Emperor is an inexpensive drink found in a number of stores throughout Kamurocho and Sotenbori. It restores more of your health than Toughness ZZ, but at a higher cost.

4. Super Turmeric No. 1
This very inexpensive health item not only restores your health by a small amount, but it also acts to sober you up.
This is especially handy if you have had too much alcohol at your favorite bar, as being drunk has certain consequences based on your particular fighting style or character buffs.
Being drunk will make you a target for anyone on the street who is looking for a fight, and you will not be able to avoid them very easily without ducking into a nearby business.
There are also certain upgrades to Kiryu’s Brawler fighting style that allow you to do more damage when drunk, so if you have those upgrades equipped, then being drunk will work in your favor. This should be considered before consuming Super Turmeric No. 1 since it will lower your Drunk Meter.
Super Turmeric No. 1 details:
- Costs 148 yen
- Gives health a slight boost
- Lowers your Drunk Meter
How to get Super Turmeric No. 1:
- Buy at Daikoku Drugstore
3. Sake
Sake is a very inexpensive alcohol drink that can be bought at the M Store, and it will restore a small amount of health in addition to slightly raising your Drunk Meter.
As mentioned previously, being drunk has its advantages and disadvantages depending on which character and fighting style you are using.
Bad guys on the street will always pick a fight with you when you are drunk, and they will be very difficult to escape.
However, if you are playing as Kiryu in his Brawler style and you have the Drunkards’ Secret upgrades, you will be able to gain health, heat, and even the ability to do more damage when you drink alcohol.
Sake details:
- Costs 1,100 yen
- Raises health slightly
- Raises Drunk Meter slightly
How to get Sake:

The Takoyaki 16 pcs. is also portable, so you can store it in your inventory and eat it later, but don’t rely on it to restore your health in heavy combat. There are more effective health drinks that will raise your health much higher and are better suited for going up against difficult enemies.
