Strip malls have always been a source of convenient food and shops. Persona 3 Reload takes shops to the next level to help raise your social stats and give you bonuses. Iwatodai Strip Mall specifically is full of new things to do every day and night to help increase your social stats and expand your social links. While the Iwatodai strip mall might not compare to Paulownia Mall in Persona 3 Reload, it has its fair share of useful things to buy and places to visit.

Octopia
At Octopia, you can purchase Weird Takoyaki for 400 Yen. It’s not made of octopus, yet it restores 100 HP to any one ally. Beyond that, this will be a hangout place for some social links. The Weird Takoyaki is also the food that Maiko asks for when asking for a round-shaped food.
Wilduck Burger
You can try the Mysterious Burger for 1,000 Yen at Wilduck Burger. Doing so grants you extra Courage since the ingredients are a secret. You’ll occasionally get text messages with restaurant promotions that offer different levels of Courage.
Bookworms
Bookworms is a bookstore run by the elderly couple Bunkichi and Mitsuko. They represent the Hierophant arcana and can be visited occasionally to strengthen the social link. No requirement needs to be met before being able to meet with them.
Wakatsu Kitchen
You can purchase the Prodigy Platter for 680 Yen at Wakatsu Kitchen. It helps raise your Academics whenever you do. They also offer a Seafood Full Course every Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday night, which also grants you extra Academics.
Hagakure Ramen
Eating ramen at Hagakure will improve the quality of your skin for some reason. Fortunately, that also means that your Charm is raised. You’ll sometimes get a text message about different menu items that aren’t normally available.
Azuki Arai Sweets
This is a sweets shop that can’t be entered at any time.
Umiushi Beef Bowls
Umiushi Beef Bowls requires you to purchase the Umiushi Fan book from the Net Cafe before you can purchase food here. You can buy the Umiushi Beef Bowl for 300 Yen and the Summer-Hot Bowl for 1,500 Yen. The former restores 20 HP to an ally, while the latter increases the stats of one ally for three turns.
