    I've been looking for a manga but I can't find it so please help me out!
    It's a slice-of-life story about an old man who owns a restaurant that's open from midnight to seven o'clock near the night district of some japanese big city.
    There are few items on the menu but the guests can command whatever and if he has the ingredients (or they bring them) he'll make it. The manga relates anecdotes about the people who came to eat there, either one-time stories or updates to what happened to the regulars.
    There was a story about somebody who asked for boeuf bourguignon; about two twins who commanded makis, one with cumcumber and the other with cheese, they met up there and formed a comedic duo named maki and they were cheese and cumcumber; about a girl who had many dates that ended badly and ended up marrying her childhood love before coming back and that was linked with the fish she ate, which she stopped eating after divorcing; a story about a dad who loves vegetables and his daughter and divorced wife who love meat the most; a guy who always ate fried oignon rings, a guy who ate rice with soja and butter; a story about a christmas eve where they all ate crab; a friendship over sausages and omelette between a grandpa and a yakuza.
