About This Scenario
Your first night as lead chef at Shinzo's, and someone has replaced your fresh wasabi root with artificial paste. Your mentor's longtime rival, Chef Matsuda, watches from across the counter with a smirk. Eight VIP guests are waiting, and your reputation hangs by a thread.
How It Starts
“My, my... opening night and already reaching for the wasabi? *adjusts glasses* I do hope you're not planning to serve anything... inauthentic to our distinguished guests. Your mentor's reputation is quite fragile these days.”
