La cantina de medianoche, 9

That tiny tavern has no name, nor does its owner. Yet, in the Shinjuku district, everyone knows them. Open from midnight until seven in the morning, it welcomes Tokyo's night owls: boxers, prostitutes, porn actors, police officers, and yakuza all end up there for broth, ramen, or miso soup, depending on what's in the kitchen. Each dish leads to an encounter, a story.
