Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories - Main Trailer - Netflix 

This series literally changed my life. It taught me how to become a wise, considerate and overall a better person. This is a masterpiece. Master, one miso soup please.

The only series I've never fast forwarded the intro, so beautiful. The stories are so close to heart 🤗

this show is so heartwarming and relaxing. I hope netflix continues to pick it up and airs the rest.

I really liked midnight diner, the stories were so human and universal.

I know I am 5 years late but I have to say this is a Master piece! This is the only opening song I do not skip! The whole series felt poignant and nostalgic of memories I did not personally experience. Love the whole vibe of this series!! Its heart warming and easy to watch!

I miss this show so much. It brought me comfort in a very difficult time in my life. I’ve rewatched all the seasons many times and I still cry often watching it. I wish there were more seasons but I’m grateful this show was made for us to find something very special in. Wish there was more programs like this.

Stumbled upon this one night. At first I was like what the heck is this? 10 minutes in and it captured more than my attention. The small setting, the difference in culture, the small plates of food, the simplicity of it all just gets me wanting to be there.

I stumbled across this series and instantly fell in love with it! Easily one of my favourite series on Netflix so far, I always watch it before going to sleep haha :D

The series just arrived here today in Netflix Germany, and I must say it is absolutely great! It has the potential to restore trust, hope and believe in human mankind with ease and humor. Love it.

As a Japanese, I find it strange to learn that this story has been accepted overseas. This is an extremely Japanese depiction of daily life, emotions, lifestyle, and details. I thought it would be difficult for non-Japanese to understand. In other words, when one person lives day to day, are the differences between countries and cultures merely trivial?

Netflix: Skip intro Me: I am a joke to you?

Midnight Diner is like stories from a place I’ve never lived in or known. Yet it still somehow manages to feel like home.

Love this series. It's so simple, yet so beautiful. Great stories: funny, emotional, humane. It's so easy to watch it all in one go and then repeat it again and again. The soundtrack is great as well, lovely tunes to settle you in.

Life has its curious ways to untie the human knots in order to keep on flowing fluid and clean. Master's midnight diner place seems to be a usual restaurant but actually it is where people tell and solve their stories, also touch memories and have unusual meetings. Every detail is a delicacy - since intro song and images from Tokyo to the dishes servings as well as the interaction of the cast with the audience in the end. Too cute! I wish it was real and I could visit there one day! I wish seasons would never end! Hugs from Brazil! ❤

That kind of series you can watch over and over again. Just pick an episode randomly and you can still enjoy everything. So beautiful and well crafted. And that intro, wow. So heartwarming.

Both Midnight Diner series on netflix have left me an absolute WRECK. I love this show so much and some of the stories really hit you out of nowhere. I adore the messages of the episodes and the lessons they teach. But damn it they make me sob

By episode 3 I was ordering Japanese takeout.

Love this show, and I wish we'd get new episodes. Every character felt like a friend 🙏🏿❤️

The world really really needs another season of this wonderful and healing series. I keep checking for news but there is nothing, as of late 2021. I do hope we can see The Master again!

who else notices deadpool billboard on the opening? ?

It's one of the most beautiful opening songs I've ever heard. I love the series, and also the song. I've learned so much from that series. I'm going to have a shop like this in near future. This song is better than every relaxing sound. Thanks for this beautiful song.👍👏👏👏👏

I love every square inch of this show, so enjoyable. It makes me smile, makes me cry... I love the intro even though I have no idea what he’s singing; I’m gonna have to look that up. Anyway, it’s a salve on the heart.

series about ordinary people living their ordinary life. Love it so much!!!!

Love this show... Good unique characters. You really want to go to this restaurant. And it may not be the best food around but your there for the company..

I try to watch one episode to each of my meals. It gives good company when im eating alone.

Poignant tales that are just long enough to ponder afterwards. I love the Master. He’s the magic ingredient that holds every player and story in this series.

If you're considering watching this show you can watch my spoiler free review to help you make up your mind

This series is so beautiful! I love the calming music. I cried to some of the episodes, but these were tears of happiness.

If you like wallowing in melancoly and like heartwarming stories. I love it. Watching it baked will enhance the experience.

Absolutely yes! I've never fast forwarded the intro...this series is a gift for everyone. I am so glad I was recommended this.

Didn't know what to expect of this series. Just ended up appreciating this show A LOT.

I have absolutely fallen in love with this show immediately. I recommend it to anyone who is a night shifter or bar goer. It's sweet, funny, and hits so close to home of what it means to be a regular at your favorite spot. If you don't have a family, or like the one you do have, find another one. Make your own if you can.

if you like this show PLEASE be sure to watch Samurai gourmet. It's more lighthearted but just as profound and satisfying

We need more shows like this.

When I first heard of this show, I completely scoffed at the idea. After watching a few episodes, I fell completely in love with it. Having been in Japan recently and having some understanding of the culture, makes the show that much more enjoyable.

This show should go on forever. So good

Masterpiece of television ❤

Best series from netflix. I rewatch it over and over

I love this show so much ❤ I'm half-way through and I'm already trying to learn the theme tune 😇 x3

What a series...the format ...the way a particular food is showcased ..the economy of words chosen by the chef ....along with a slice of life stories of the diners.... a view of Japan from another perspective ..!!! .Lots of Love and Respect from India. 👍

I am so happy to have stumbled onto this series...truly a masterpiece of reality in dwelling into ordinary people's lives and situations.

I boldly claim that we humans must have inherited some ancient instincts that are the basis for our psychological needs to gather at night around a cooking fire and share stories. The best thing about the show Midnight Diner is that it appeals to those needs: a simple diner opens at midnight, has dim lights and a U-shaped table where the guests face the cook and the kitchen; the place is small, everyone is within jump-length close to everyone else; although the cook basically doesn’t interfere with their personal affairs, his relationships with the guests are certainly personal, for he is a great listener, prepares heart-warming custom-ordered dishes and remembers each particular preference; a brothel is just around the street corner, adding to the relaxed vibe. The show isn’t mainly about culinary delicacy. The food can be as unspectacular as butter on rice. Rather, the diner offers a counterbalance to the highly formalized, individualistic big city life. In the big city, one sees a lot of people, knows few of them. The diner is a community where people have informal, personal contacts with each other. For theatrical reasons, coming together in the diner helps the guests resolve their own struggles so that the diner virtually becomes a therapy center. The relief slowly builds up and the guests not seldom burst into tears in the end.

Love when all his regular customers gathering

I love how something like food can bring so many different people together. I think that’s what I love so much about this series: with that being said, I’ve only seen episode one.

If you like this, Samurai Gourmet is good too, and it's in Netflix as well. 💖

One of the greatest series on Netflix.

Is curious that this show along Samurai Gourmet are both based on Manga works. And I think it fits them perfectly to be represented in Live Action, I love both shows.

I’m falling in love with this series just by watching it on 1 ep😭

Greetings from Bulgaria. I was really lucky to see this show on Netflix. Right after a friend recommended to me, i was hooked not from the 3th episoe, nor from the first. But by the very opening track itself.

I started to watch this series. It's so close to heart & show real life

Such a great series. Real feels and vibes.

I love that show. I hope Netflix Canada will have seasons 4 and 5 💕💕💕

I am hooked to Japanese cuisine now, the first show i watched was "Samurai Gourmet" that too was awesome.

With all the bs show nowadays this show brought humble expectations I really like this show even we are different culture it nice to see a show that brings a smile

This is by far, my favorite tv show I have had the pleasure of watching, ever

Great series. Simple and memorable.

Just swinging by to say that this is a pretty good series. Highly recommend.

I've only finished 3 episodes and I'm just wondering why is no one talking about this show?!

Having lived in Tokyo and hung out in Kabukicho, this thing is entirely accurate, having only seen s1 ep1.

the BEST thing on NETFLIX! LOVE IT!

0:42 The Ajin ad running on the curved screen on the bottom right 😭😭😭😭

I've just found this series and I'm in love. Dramatic, funny, heartwarming and grounded. Especially from a 20 minute show. A surprise from a Sci fi horror nerd

I always have a big cheesy smile throughout the season

didnt think i would like it... and LOVE it. why is it that u wont make more of this type of quality??? more please.

Please update new season...God bless

Please do more!

There were 3 seasons and this is the 4th. You can find it with the name Shinya Shokudo

I absolutely LOVE this series. It's unique, intimate, yet tells huge stories. Very well acted and full of images of wisdom, it draws you in and gives you a relaxing and peaceful feeling. Excellent.

This series really helps me getting through hard times this year and anxiety. Beautiful, calming. I hope there will be another part beside Tokyo series.

I do not know much about asian culture I did not expect to see a show like this in my region tho Stories are stupid but i enjoyed this show because this is such a chill show and you can feel wholesome. Master is soo chill and wholesome. Looks like a badass yakuza tho I was searching for food documentaries and i found this show so if you are searching for a chill show i reccomend this.

beautiful series, Japanese is such a beautiful language and such a great culture.

Love the theme , the love stories , the sentiment.

really liked the manga, so cool that it turned into a series

役者は、技量を見せる場があっての仕事。と最近の国営系テレビのドラマを目の端で見て思った。ネット配信のドラマは増えるだろうね。

I'm just new to this and never saw it on Netflix before. What a great show. Very heartwarming. And the music is so soothing at the start. My favorite show to watch at night.

If "life is a journey", might as well as eat a good meal at night with some beer of your choice on your way. This series is so good. Something you see to relax, to check out. And I like that. Specially good while you're having lunch or dinner, and leaves you with calm in the end, werther is pensive sadness or passive happiness. And when Omoide starts to play... oh my goodness. Such a treat. Now if I may, Master, an oyakodon bowl with some good malt, please. ^_^

A piece of art... Full of feelings ✨😍

This series always make me hungry and want to open small family restaurant too..

Just finished season 2. This series is so simple and unassuming and yet very heartwarming and profound. S2 episode 7 is one of the best episodes I've seen on any TV series. Very excellent acting you can feel the heartbreak and determination from both voice actresses. Hoping there's a season 3 soon!

I quite enjoyed this series. Farily quirky. I acctually referenceed it in a video I did recently. I had a chuck that as soon as Netflix got hold of it the Chef suddenly stopped smoking. Also its foolish but I was vaugly dissapoined he never got into a fight. He was up for it in a couple of episodes. That's just the 14 year old in me though. No I very much enjoyed the entire run.

Normally, I am not a fan of Western Adaptions of Eastern (Asian) properties, but I would love to see an English/American version of this show. The series has been adapted several times and I feel like it vould work, But the original will always be the best.

season 2 please ;_:

I hope Netflix also gets the sister series, "Let's Eat" from Korea - it's a wonderful and sweet companion drama to "Midnight Diner" featuring the healing qualities of food.

I'm thinking about starting the series *in quarantine... Thoughts on that, anyone?:(❓❓🤗🤗*

Is this based on the Midnight Diner Manga by Yarō Abe?

These stories are wonderful and profound. They make one think in very broad strokes. I am amazed at the commonalities between the Japanese and American cultures - and the differences! We are all human and these mini-dramas chronicle the human condition as well as any I have encountered. The cooking, music and food add luster to the stories ...

Stuck at work, life feels jammed, lonely with tasty food but no one to share it with, aweful stories of real life around you but no melancholic processing of the humility of life? Before you rush to your social media, before you tweet the next big thing, before you hurry home... take a step back, stop by somewhere else....somewhere you belong, somewhere people are as simple and emotion filled like you, somewhere the heart resides and food served salty full of tears melancholy, acceptance, vulnerability and grief colide in the enigmatic persona of the midnight culture

I love this serie. Finish first season. Wanna more. Thank You Netflix.

Que série maravilhosa. Assisti todos os episódios disponíveis no Netflix BR. Uma maravilha ver as histórias, e os pratos apetitosos.

This looks really heartwarming and educational. I'll have to watch it some time.

Netufrixu

Hope i can download this somehow. Looks amazing, cant wait

Season 3!! We need it

i just started watching this. and i love it!! simple and classy. (couldn't expect less from the land of Yasujirō Ozu).

Season 2 is definitely a mandatory thing!

having a late night dinner at 2:00 am while watching this such a powerful connection, now im sad that im finished watch this series

my comfort show

loved this series

Waaaa. I just found this GEM of a show! Subarashiii~~ Reminds me of one of my fave anime Wakako Zake. So relaxing♡ I have insomnia so I always watch this before I sleep. The only downside: MAKES ME CRAVE FOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT! 😂❤❤❤

This drama has one of the best intro (opening) I’ve seen in Asian dramas, not even in Japanese dramas only and I’ve seen plenty from Chinese to Thai. It’s such an underrated drama and truly a gem.
