About dreams and warm things.
“A dream is such a wonderful thing to have.”
Nishiogikubo Mitsuboshi Youshudou is the story of three friends and the bar they run. The “Three Star Bar” in Tokyo’s Nishi Ogikubo District, is unassuming appearance. With its vintage exterior and warm interior, it becomes a home for lost souls, even if it is just for a few hours.
“It is a bar where anybody can come.”
Kobayashi Naoki is a failed novel writer the owner of the bar. He inherited it from his grandfather. One of the many unconventional charms of the bar is that it serves canned food. Amamiya Ryoichiro is an high-school friend of Kobyashi, who stumbled upon the bar when he was at an emotionally low moment in his life. He becomes the bartender and has been working there for a month. Nakauchi Satoru is a chef who decides to retire. He was a perfectionist but in his effort to be perfect he loses his passion which is conveyed as a loss of sensation in his taste buds.
Each episode follows the lives of the customers who stumble upon the bar when they are unhappy or dejected. The viewers get to follow the live stories of these ordinary men as they converse with Amamiya and when these men and women leave the bar, they leave happier and livelier than before.
But the bar must be closed when Kobyashi’s grandfather’s cans run out.
“The cooked food inside the can bides its time until the lid is opened. For for years, and years.”
If I need one word to describe Nishiogikubo Mitsuboshi Youshudou then it would be “cosy.” With warm pleasing aesthetics, this is an excellent story on life and dreams, compromise and balance, friendship and love and perfectly conveys the message, “Live in the moment.” Sometimes all you need to do is to flip over a painting and look at it from a different angle. :)
“Don't hide your wounds. Those wounds make you who you are today. Even if you fail, don't hide it. Don't be afraid of getting hurt, and move on with dignity. That's what my grandfather used to say to many customers who came here.”
–Kobayashi Naoki, Nishiogikubo Mitsuboshi Youshudou
This show could have easily become a 9.0 except there was to to ask for on how they handled the stories of the main characters. There growth was there but I felt a little bummed out about how little they showed on our three mains.
Nishiogikubo Mitsuboshi Youshudou also delivers perfectly on the “food” tag. Check out this feed post to get an idea :)
