Shinya Shokudo - Tokyo Stories

There is a small eatery, ‘Meshiya,’ in a back alley of a busy street which is run just by its owner. Called the “midnight eatery”, its opening hours are from midnight to 7 am in the morning. The only items on the menu are miso soup with pork and vegetable set, beer, sake and shochu. All sorts of customers visit the eatery, which is based on the owner’s policy of “making whatever can be done”. The encounters between the owner, food and customers are humorous and, at times, heartrending.
