Set in a small restaurant in the corner of a shopping district. The unusual eatery is only open after midnight, and its standard menu consists of just a few choices. However, the customers still come for the amusing chatter and the proprietor's willingness to cook any dish that they request. Based on the manga series "Shinya Shokudo" by Yaro Abe Written by ahloy-419-149174
Ultimately, this is about important moments in our lives and the foods we often associate with them.
The stories are set at the Midnight Diner, a small and comfortable hole-in- the-wall sitdown you wish you could call your own.
Open from midnight until seven in the morning, it attracts an array of regular and casual denizens. The proprietor will make whatever is ordered, so long as he's got the ingredients.
Often what's ordered are comfort foods that remind the patron of the home of their youth, of a parent or someone close, or of a memorable or important life event. Sometimes it's all of the above.
Many of the tales are peculiar, and even if you suspect a direction the story will take, it likely won't.
Everything about the show is simple and unassuming, which of course is akin to most of our comfort foods.
This won't resemble anything you've ever seen. We laughed out loud throughout and shed several tears. Every last second of it is beautiful, thoughtful, and unexpected.
