All About Ume's Shop!

[h3]Welcome back, Chefs! [/h3][p][/p][p]Today, we’re going to talk a bit about Ume and her vital, one-stop shop for all your essentials. In true KuloNiku spirit, this is another family-run business - temporarily closed for a sky-diving tour - full of many wondrous things.[/p][p] [/p][p]Right next door to your restaurant, Ume will first introduce herself as a patron of Bakuso after you compete in your first Meatball Brawl, drawn in by the delightful aromas you’ve been cooking up. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]She’s timid, a bit shy, and quite nervous around new people. From her reactions, you’ll notice she struggles to make eye contact and is constantly stumbling over her words, but she cares deeply about the community and is extremely passionate about selling you the finest wares. She even keeps a diary, though isn’t planning to share that anytime soon.[/p][p][/p][p]Just like with every other relationship in the game, you can keep connecting with Ume, building trust, and maybe even get to Hangout with her. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Ume’s Shop has everything from tools to home decor. She even has a welcome gift for you- a high-quality kitchen knife to do the finest form of chopping. How generous![/p][p][/p][p]The shop’s inventory is refreshed every Friday and it gives you a chance to spend the money you earn in tips for quality service. [/p][p]
[/p][p][/p][p]Tools can be purchased to improve your restaurant, like a Trash Bin that increases food refund value by 15%. You can also buy extra bowls so you don’t run out in the middle of prep and run down the clock at the sink.[/p][p] [/p][p]Home decor items can also be purchased to update and improve the aesthetics and viability of your restaurant. With new materials, you’ll be able to redesign your layout with paintings, new flooring and television sets. And adding a television set for customers can increase the rewards you get from cooking contests by 20%, for example.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Ume’s shop even sells new ingredients and spices for your recipes, so you can continue to expand your menu and try new things in the kitchen.[/p][p] [/p][p]You’re sure to be a regular customer at Ume’s Shop as you play through KuloNiku: Bowl Up! [/p][p][/p][h3]Wishlist and come back each week as we reveal more about KuloNiku: Bowl Up![/h3][p]
