Same. Also no “NEW” ribbon.
It’s one of my favorite shows . The breaded ham cutlet was a good one . Yes . I did make it. Very enjoyable.
Thanks for the heads up a Netflix season 3 showed up for Midnight Diner.
Having seen the non Netflix first 3 seasons and the proceeding Netflix “season 1 and season 2” (which are technically season 4 and 5), halfway through season 5, I felt a sense of material burnout, same with Kudoku No Gurume.
Finished watching a series (12 episodes or so) called Grand Maison Tokyo a few months ago at the recommendation of friends, this one is English subtitled.
Japanese executive chef in France (Michelin French restaurant), goes back to Tokyo and restarts his career. Quite enjoyed it.
Hmmm…I just took a sneak quick look at “Season 3” Midnight Diner Netflix… unfortunately from just a few snippets of looking at a couple episodes, they are way too familiar. These were either from season 2 or 3 previously not released on Netflix. So to me they are not new, but new to those who have never seen them before. I guess Netflix acquired the rights to stream the older seasons from the parent media company in Japan. Now they just need to get up their arses and stream the full length 2+ hour feature films 1 and 2 which I thought were very nicely done.

More a cultural documentary instead of a food-centric show.

On Netflix, the new Midnight Diner added June 1 is seasons 1-3. The old Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories is seasons 4 and 5.
I’ve watched the new-to-Netflix episodes through S3E4 and while they’re good, I’m not sure I’ll watch any of them again. I’ve watched all the S4 and S5 episodes at least twice.

Ahhh ok, I wasn’t paying attention. Thanks for clarifying.
So there are 5 seasons total then. Perfect for those who missed seasons 1-3 but saw Tokyo Stories first.
On a side note, the lead female character in Grand Maison Tokyo, that actress is apparently in a new TV drama…I think it is about ramen and is still somewhat fairly new. Name escapes me though.
I enjoy Dining with the Chef on NHK World, available on public access
Japanese Style Originator on Netflix is so fun to watch
