An Izakaya Unlike Any Other
An unusual izakaya that opens from midnight to 7 am, and serves atypical foods to an eclectic group of diners ... yes, please!But the food is not the main point of this series. Rather, it is the customers who come to share their angst and worries to each other or to the Master (chef/owner) that makes it interesting.
Many of these characters are sympathetic, despite their flaws or perhaps because of them. Their situations may not be common, but they are believable and certainly riveting. Even the mysterious Master himself is a curious character.
Unfortunately, the short format gives only a cursory treatment to each customer. I only wish that the episodes were longer than 30-minutes each, to give a bit more time for exploring more fully each character and their situations.
In any case, this is an enjoyable series good for binging.
score 7/10
