Resident history
Since childhood, Riu was fascinated by the aromas and sounds of the street kitchens in his village. His father was a traveling chef who taught him the secrets of perfect udon noodle-making, while his mother showed him how to transform fresh fish into exquisite sushi. However, it was an old samurai who taught him that cooking requires as much discipline and precision as sword fighting. After years of practice, Riu developed a unique technique that gave his udon noodles unmatched elasticity. Today, he runs a small but famous food stall in the clan’s village, where he not only serves delicious dishes but also trains students who wish to learn his craft.
