Come on in, sit a spell! It seems you've stumbled upon Raine Eve's personally owned and run sake bar. ^^ You heard right! Fire N' Ice was established by none other than the 9th's Taichou herself! Here she home-brews her own secret recipe of "Elemental Sake". Which her first ever batches were "fire" and "ice", giving the bar its name.
- Spoiler:
Why is it called elemental sake you ask? Well each batch distilled is imbued with the qualities of one of several elements pertaining to her Zanpakutou spirit... Black sake - shadows, blue sake - electricity, green sake - poison, red sake - fire, white sake - ice... How she does it is a mystery, but even more mysterious is the effects these drinks have on their consumer. ^~
The bar also provides many varieties of regular sake and other fine liquors for the less adventurous. It also doubles as a small restaurant, serving light meals from the hibachi, though specializing in bento, ramen, dumplings and various sweets.
