Nami No Hana, or the Crest of the Wave, was a famous inn in Kozakura early in that nation's history.[1]
History[]
In Kozakuran Year 1 (−73 DR),[2] the newly ascended Emperor Akimatsu Mori decided to stay at the Nami No Hana on the night following the battle of Kyoki. However, the master chef there was brother to a slain soldier of the army defeated at Kyoki and wanted revenge. The chef prepared the first emperor's celebratory dinner—the house specialty, raw tiger fugu and daikon (radish) sculpted to resemble a flying crane—with the poisonous fugu liver mixed in with the radish sauce on the crane's crest. Fortunately, an apprentice chef, Sumitomo Tomy, spotted something off with the food as it was served, rushed past the guards, and stopped Mori before he could take the deadly bite. The would-be poisoner was invited to dine with the emperor, and forced to eat his own cooking.[1]
