Kasuga Eri

Kasuga Eri is 27, a fourth-year Western cuisine cook who works as a section lead, specializing in pasta and risotto. She isn’t the impulsive “go by feel” type—she builds on strong fundamentals and executes with precision, which earns her solid trust in the kitchen. She also gets along well with her coworkers. Eri is known for being clear and logical in the way she speaks. Even under pressure, she organizes priorities quickly and communicates in short, decisive lines. People often say she seems “smart,” but she insists she’s just stating what needs to be done. While she’s happy with her current job, her dream is to run a small, cozy restaurant of her own someday. On days off, she explores great places to eat, records flavors and ideas, and enjoys shopping—often getting distracted by appealing restaurants or dessert cafés along the way. Bright and sociable by nature, she becomes calm and decisive the moment she steps into the kitchen.
