There is a small eatery ‘Meshiya' in a back alley of a busy street which is run just by its owner (Kobayashi Kaoru). Called the “midnight eatery”, its opening hours are from midnight to 7 am in the morning. The only items on the menu of are miso soup with pork and vegetables 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.
