Also he seems to wear the same gray suit every day 
Maybe that’s his favorite color

I see new 深夜食堂 episodes now on Netflix. I think these are brand new and not the untranslated seasons from prior.

I just noticed them as well. It’s gonna be a great binge-watching weekend 
Also, I forget when but perhaps about one year ago I was on an airplane and the IFE had 深夜食堂 the movie! My only regret was that I was totally knackered and fell asleep halfway through.
As a side note, Yutaka Matsushige (who plays Goro in 孤独のグルメ) plays a yakuza boss on 深夜食堂

I caught a version of the movie a while ago but I haven’t been able to find it again. I think it came after the original second season and there were continuing storylines.
He is great, he always seems to pop up in various dramas

I watched a few episodes of the series on my flight home from Japan last week.

I tried to visit the street where the diner is located in the show (pretty sure the interior is a studio set), but while all the establishing shots strongly imply that it’s in Golden Gai, the real Golden Gai really doesn’t look anything like the exterior shots in the show - Golden Gai has straight alleys and the ground is pretty flat, while the show’s streets are wiggly and have stairs.

It’s like the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts, it only appears when the person really needs it.
Or in this case, only between midnight and 7 am 
BTW, you can read Yutaka Matsushige’s name 「松重豊」 if you’re at least level 25 on WK. 松 is level 14 and 豊 is level 25. 重 is level 9 (but it uses a nanori reading しげ).

It’s 猫村さん, a female cat-housekeeper who takes care of a human family. It’s not out yet but I can’t wait to see how he will handle this one
