Osaka, Nishinari: 24-Hour Family Restaurant

Nishinari, Osaka, is undergoing redevelopment. In one corner of the town, there is a restaurant that has been open 24 hours a day for over 40 years. The restaurant's selling points are its large portions and its attentive owner and manager. Customers come here to talk about their complaints and worries to the two of them. A male temporary worker who came to Nishinari in search of work. A single mother struggling with childcare. A man who once worked part-time at this restaurant says he hopes his children will also work someday. Human dramas unfold across the small counter.
