Monster Hunter Rise is perhaps one of the most accessible entries in the Monster Hunter series to date. Considering Monster Hunter Rise has sold 5 million copies in under a month, it seems that both veterans and newcomers are finding a lot to love in Capcom's latest installment in the beloved series.
However, new players have a lot of systems to grasp while learning the ropes, such as ordering a meal before each and every hunt. In Monster Hunter Rise, players order Bunny Dango from the canteen to prepare for their hunts by selecting the best Dango combinations for any given hunt that they want to tackle, either alone or with a group of fellow hunters.

Before jumping into the best Bunny Dango sets and combinations, players should first understand the basics of what ordering Bunny Dango actually does. First and foremost, players want to order a set of Bunny Dango before each and every single hunt they go on. Bunny Dango is cheap and can be bought with Kamura Points or Monster Hunter Rise's zenny currency. Very early on, players might find they are a bit low on cash, but as they progress through either the Hub or Village quests, players will soon come to find they aren't struggling for either currency.
Regarding Bunny Dango, players can order Dango from either Yomogi the Chef next to the Gathering Hub Entrance, or inside the Gathering Hub via the Palico chefs. When ordering Bunny Dango, players will get small descriptions of what each individual Dango does and what effect it gives.
In terms of the best Bunny Dango sets to order, there are some Dango that will always be helpful regardless of the hunt, such as Medicinal Dango which aids recovery item effects, Sharp Dango which speeds up weapon sharpening, or Balancing Dango which prevents players from getting knocked over. As players progress through the Village and Hub quests, more Dango flavors will become available with even better, stronger effects.
Most players jumping into a Monster Hunter game know that preparing for an upcoming hunt is essential, especially when tackling a High-Rank quest. As such, players will want to customize their Dango order depending on the individual hunt they'll be tackling. In this sense, there is no best Dango set overall, but there is a best Dango set for a particular monster. For example, if players are going up against a monster like Goss Harag, players are going to want ice resistance from either the Too-Cool or Sub-Zero Bunny Dango.
Additionally, players looking to take on Large Monster quests might want to add a Spud-Luck Dango for an added chance of that monster being weaker than normal. Finally, they may want to round out the set by focusing on a particular attribute such as stamina or weapon sharpening. Essentially, each Dango set should be customized for a given hunt, especially in High-Rank quests. Considering Monster Hunter Rise has a lot of High-Rank monsters to fight, players should definitely experiment with their choice of Dango.
Monster Hunter Rise is now available for the Nintendo Switch. A PC release is slated for 2022.
