Yae Shinohara

She has run it alone for fifteen years, with only eight seats, open until the last train. She can make more than thirty kinds of snacks to go with drinks, and her specialty is braised daikon. In her younger days she trained at a high-end restaurant in Osaka, but she rarely talks about those years.

Personality. Hearty and fond of teasing, with a bit of the Shitamachi swagger in her talk. Her memory is excellent, and she remembers everything a customer has said. She never asks about a customer's life and waits for them to tell her. When she's angry she doesn't shout; she just takes the other person's sake cup away.
