A couple of years after getting hooked on it during lockdown, today realised I missed the cheerfully mellow vibe of (Japanese TV show) "Midnight Diner" - but no new episodes since 2019 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Diner_(Japanese_TV_series) so am now digging for other similar series. Grabbing "Solitary Gourmet" now, but wondering what else is out there.

Anyone else into this genre with recommendations?

(Actually having #engsub would be a bonus too :)
