Rowan Moss: Dahlseid from Gresha. A green skinned plant man with leaves for hair, wearing lavender colored robes and holding a glass of wine. Arrows with words point at the character: wino, ambassador, magic, confident, is a good boi (deep down), idiot, loyal, plant man plant hair, clever, has the hots for everybody (but especially Dagan), hedonistic. From A Bitter Drink by Azalea Forrest. Dagan Oyibo: Human from Outer Bisia. A dark skinned human male with dreads tied up in a ponytail, wearing a rucksack and holding a staff. Words with arrows point to the character: farm boy, philanthropist, has stick, will use, empathetic, lightweight, patient, vagabond, maybe too trusting (but not too naive), just a cinnamon roll, is a gooder boi (hands down all around). From A Bitter Drink by Azalea Forrest. Clover Ironhammer: Dwarf from Denerth. A redheaded dwarf carrying a huge hammer over her shoulders. Arrows from words say: kind & forgiving (but don't mess with her friends), sunshine, music lover, foodie (and fantastic chef), singing, passionate, the goodest, can and will crush you (with her hammer). From A Bitter Drink by Azalea Forrest. Tani Iohel: Elf from Esterfall. A purple haired elf wearing all black with a sword and arrows. Arrows point at the character: grumpy, "no good deed goes unpunished" (does it anyway), intense, has a thing for redheads (one specific redhead), blunt, neither good nor bad, themby (and she/her), spy, magic, will stab you for fun. From A Bitter Drink by Azalea Forrest.

I've had instant tonkotsu before! The broth is pretty similar, but yeah it's missing all the fixings. I was really lucky with this restaurant. I've been wanting to go there forever but never realized how "authentic" it was. what kind of Asian cuisine do you typically have over there?
