    \"Midnight Diner,\" set in Tokyo

    Recently watched several episodes of \"Midnight Diner\" which is a Japanese TV series set in back-street Tokyo. It has been showing on Netflix with subtitles in English. Skillfully drawn vignettes about life in modern urban Japan. (An enjoyable series, by the way.)

    I love this series so much. I even read the comics in Chinese 深夜食堂。

    In Japan it is common to call the male owner of a restaurant \"Master\" and to call the female owner \"Mama-san\" (which sounds very much like something that was picked up from US soldiers during the occupation).

    I was wondering if that was commonly used in Japan the way one might address the cook in a Chinese diner as \"shifu\" 师傅 or laoban 老板。Or is it a respectful form they just used in addressing this particular character because of some past events that aren\'t shown on screen in the series. (There are subtle hints that he might have once been involved in organized crime.)
