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 single choice. However, the customers still come for the amusing chatter and the proprietor's willingness to cook any dish that they request. This drama depicts the lives of the restaurant's patrons, including a yakuza, an unsuccessful actor, a group of office ladies, a newspaper delivery boy, and a stripper.
Each night a midnight diner serves up just four dishes, but customers aren't really there for the food: They've come for advice and a sympathetic ear.
The midnight diner's master serves up food and sympathy to more motley customers, ranging from yakuza to pachinko parlor workers to strippers.
A detective, a manga editor, a failed cartoonist and a single mother are among the customers who come to the midnight diner for food and company.
