At 12 o'clock midnight, the newspaper clock rang, and the time to belong to a canteen began in a corner of the city. The menu is only pork set meal, but you can order whatever you want. This is the management policy of the boss (Kobayashi Kaoru). The special style and nostalgic taste attracted many guests. Everyone drinks a little wine, eats their favorite food, unloads the fatigue of the day, talks about the interesting things they encounter, or tastes sorrow alone. In the aroma of food, between the unique quietness in the middle of the night and the warmth in the canteen, a story full of human feelings was told. There are joys and sorrows, which coincide with the ups and downs of food. Life is full of flavors, all in this square canteen. ?
Midnight Food Store is adapted from the famous Japanese cartoonist Misaki Arai's work of the same name. In a small restaurant in the back alley of Shinjuku, a taciturn boss with a scar on his face soothes the tired stomachs of underworld bosses, strippers, homosexuals and other people with a series of civilian food.
After the launch of Japanese TV series, Kobayashi Kaoru, the restaurant owner, quickly captured a large number of fans, not only in continuous shooting for three seasons, but also launched a movie version.
