Document 72 Hours - Season 15 Episode 14 A Midnight Soba Shop in Akita
The story takes place at a rather unusual soba restaurant in Akita City. It opens at 10 p.m., stays open all night, and closes around noon the next day. The restaurant serves not only soba, but also a variety of drinks and snacks. People from all walks of life gather here. There are people who enjoy soba after drinking, people who have finished their work in the entertainment district, and in March, people who are reluctant to say goodbye to their new jobs or new transfers and spend their time drinking. This film closely observes a soba shop at midnight in the season of Nagori snow flurries.
