Document 72 Hours - Season 11 Episode 9 Small Food Cart Cafe: A Thousand and One Nights
The setting is a food cart coffee shop that appears every night along the national highway in Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture. The menu consists solely of coffee, priced at 400 yen per cup. Despite this, customers keep coming in steadily. Businessmen stop by on their way home from work, and women who have returned to their hometown to care for their parents, among others, come to the food cart in search of coffee. The shop is run by two brothers in their 70s. They have continued to run the shop as it was when their father started it about 50 years ago. They listen to the honest thoughts that spill out while drinking coffee.
