The scarred owner explicitly hints at a mysterious dark past, but that rarely plays a big role. Most of the characters are people society wouldn't consider “respectable”, or who don't fit in.

The food featured is incredibly simple, but not plain. Butter rice, omelettes, ochazuke – all staples of home cooking, all things that one could cook at home. And while it teeters on the edge, it doesn't fall into the trap of sentimentality and cloying sweetness.

Each episode clocks in at 20 minutes – short and sweet for a meal break...
