Is there a reliable way to get these or is the only way through the dungeons?

you can get them in chapter one just from the well. they spawn in them at a surprisingly high rate

edit: and just to clarify that's any well, including the one over by the hidden merchant

probably the best way to get them is to do the cannon training in mukurogai, its the reward for the bonus swordsman stage

aka the baseball and golf minigames of this Yakuza. I forgot he gives those out.

If you're good at baseball in Yakuza games than that's probably faster than save scumming wells if you need a large stack but don't want to dungeon crawl. If you're not though, idk lmao.

You have to do the gunman half then he'll give you a bonus round for sword. iirc gold chunks are for advanced sword.

there's always the sword masters in the arena but depending on the diff you're playing on those guys don't mess around and there's no guarantee of a drop.
