INTRODUCTION
Based on the manga with the same title by Makochin Ishihara,
THE SAN MEI SAMA(which means [TABLE FOR THREE]) started as a live-action drama in 2005.
At the time, it was well received and talked about as it charmed a lot of viewers with its chill, relaxed atmosphere created by the three part-time workers (Sato, Okada, Tsukamoto) who hang out at their usual diner to have a late-night talk.
It gained huge support from enthusiastic fans, and eleven DVDs came out in five years since 2005, including THE SAN MEI SAMA: Single DVD ~Makishichattemo Yokadesuka?~ in 2010. The drama became a big hit with sales of 330,000 copies in total.

Furthermore, they are making a film debut coming on to the big screen! The three “kids” around 40 are ready to deliver good laughs with a hardcore yet relaxing comedy to lift your spirit amid an uneasy era to live through.
