The Munchy Monk raises out his hand as off-screen people continuously give him dumplings to eat. He eats them by slapping his wrist precisely as the off-screen character says "Go!" to fling the dumplings in his mouth. There are three cues to follow:
Training 1 [Eat one]: The monk receives a single white dumpling with a voice saying "One! Go!" to indicate the timing.
Training 2 [Eat three]: The monk receives three green dumplings in a row with a voice saying "Three! Go! Go! Go!" to indicate the timing.
Training 3 [Eat two]: The monk receives two pink dumplings and must slap his wrist twice quickly to eat them. The voice says "Two-two! Go! Go!" to indicate the timing.
In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the monk is redesigned, looking closer to his design in Munchy Monk in Rhythm Heaven Fever, as well as carrying a baby on his back during the real game. The background is more detailed and animated.
Perfect!/Ace!?: The dumpling flies into the monk's mouth and he successfully swallows it. If not interrupted, he blushes and smiles afterward while his mustache starts growing up.
Early!/Late!?: The dumpling flies and hits the monk's nose, making it turn red as he frowns.
Miss...?: The dumpling falls out of the Monk's hand (in Rhythm Heaven, this is also accompanied by a "doink" noise). If the player tries hitting the monk's hand just as the dumping is being placed on it, it hits him square in the face, with the monk looking confused.

The basics still elude you. You lost your flow in the middle. You must focus as the end nears.

Hm... Good enough... I don't know... I guess that was all right.

You have mastered the basics. Your hand was steady and true. Your focus remained true to the end.

The basics still elude you. Your "two-twos" were doubly disappointing. Your triple bites were a trial.
Eh. Passable.
You have mastered the basics. Your double bites were transcendent. Your triple bites were as lightning!
There was a time I thought that, but this one is perfect for today's modern monk on the go. It's adjustable, easy to put on, and doesn't put pressure on my belly.
Tsunku♂: I know it's strange for me to say this, but this is my favorite song for the DS version. I made the song thinking that the game would be like a shooting game, but I'm not sure why I chose to use manjū. (laughs) It feels really good when a manju goes into your mouth, though.
Yone: At first, the title was "Oyatsu" (snack). So you were eating snacks, not manju, but before I knew it, it had become "Shugyo" (laughs). So eating manju is a kind of "shugyo" (training)...is that right?
Trivia
This game is a parody on real ancient monks, who (depending on the religion) starve themselves as part of their training, while here it's the opposite.
Oddly, the player is able to flick in this game in Rhythm Heaven, despite this action not doing anything. This trait is shared with Shoot-'Em-Up, Freeze Frame and Drummer Duel. All other games that don't use the flick don't allow the player to perform it.
