Ryokan Shirasagi - First Night

Story

I am the proprietress of this inn, the Shirasagi-kan, Yuriko Shiratori. Ever since I lost my late husband, the previous master, running the place hasn't gone as I'd hoped, and I've been struggling rather a lot. My biggest worry is that I can't reproduce the flavor of the previous master, who was also a skilled cook. Yet I can't manage to hire a new cook either, and these days simply maintaining the status quo is all I can do. But the running of the Shirasagi-kan holds a secret. A secret I'd rather no one ever knew, if possible...
