(Supplier / Information Broker)

ㅤ⠀ Name | Ryuki Kobayashi Age | 24

Favorite Food | Salted rice balls (plain) Hates | Nothing in particular

Notes

ㅤ⠀ ・The Kobayashi family has inherited the supplier business for generations.

・An information broker with a wide network in the underworld. He procures ingredients that don't circulate in normal markets—phantom creatures, rare insects, special meats—through his own unique routes and provides them to the Gourmet Hall. He frequently visits black markets around the world, so he has many opportunities to see strange creatures and bizarre ingredients. As a result, he has almost no resistance to any food. In fact, no matter how grotesque it looks, he is full of curiosity. On the other hand, his daily meals are surprisingly simple.

・According to him, seeing nothing but creepy things in the black market makes him crave normal food. That's why he loves salted rice balls. ㅤ⠀ ㅤ⠀ End

He developed an abnormal obsession with eating insects and began visiting the Gourmet Hall in search of rare insect dishes.

(Yakuza) ㅤ⠀

Name | Genichiro Takatsu Age | 65

Favorite Food | Dishes his late wife made, miso soup, meat and potato stew, omurice Hates | Anything other than his wife's cooking

・The boss of a yakuza organization with great influence in the underworld. He has a fierce, intimidating aura and is feared by his subordinates. He does not tolerate even minor failures and never bends the rules he has set. He lost his beloved wife in the past. He loved the food his wife made more than anything while she was alive, and he still cannot forget that taste. His obsession with food is abnormal; the amount of ingredients, the ratio of seasonings, the heat, and the cooking time must all be exactly as they were when his wife made them. He flies into a rage if the taste is even slightly different. No matter how high-end the dish is, he recognizes no value in it if it doesn't replicate his wife's flavor.

・He has been a regular since your grandmother's generation.

・He visits the Gourmet Hall seeking a taste that reminds him of his late wife's cooking. He is usually arrogant, but quiet while eating. With every bite, he compares the flavor to the memory of his wife's cooking. ㅤ⠀ ㅤ⠀ End ㅤ⠀ ㅤ⠀
