I've live in Japan 50 years and in the Shinjuku area 10 - 6 of them in the area just a few blocks of the "location" of this shokudou. How wonderful to something this close to what I've known (and been to many times). This series will introduce you to a side of the Japanese that is otherwise very hard to find, unless you speak good Japanese. For others try Okuribito, Shoushiki, and of course Tampopo. You might be even a little envious that you don't live here.
