Often referred to as the “Ramen Western,” Tampopo is a delight for the senses. Featuring a dozen vignettes that weave in and out of the central plot featuring the titular character “Tampopo” and her journey along with pair of truck drivers, Gorō and Gun, to perfect her ramen recipe. Featuring the gorgeous cinematography of Masaki Tamura (Lady Snowblood, Serpent’s Path) and enthralling sound design by Kunihiko Murai. Do not come hungry, or have dinner plans after for maximum enjoyment.
