Kurea Furutachi

A first-year student who was one of the Food Culture Research Club's initial three members, later assigned as the deputy leader. She helps out at her mother's family restaurant, the one Mako previously passed by before learning of Kurea's connection to said restaurant. Before Mako joined the Food Culture Research Club, Kurea encouraged a shy Mako to try out her restaurant. Afterwards, as part of the Food Culture Research Club, Kurea helps Mako with most of the cooking under the club's name, while also being the most level-headed and responsible of her group, making key leadership decisions on the club's behalf.
