wikipedia
Struggling with her noodle shop, a single mother enlists the help of a truck driver and an ever-expanding crew of food connoisseurs from all walks of life. Several stories (all food-related) interweave with this main strand to make a fine tapestry. I waited twenty years (five of which were spent in Japan) to watch this famous movie for the simple reason that I hate ramen noodles! That was my loss. Although not a laugh-out-loud movie, it's often funny, and it's the masterpiece of director Juzo Itami. I also love the main male actor, Tsutomu Yamazaki—whom you may have seen in
The Funeral or
Departures. This is another of his great roles. I still don't like ramen noodles, but I've joined the crowd of those who love
Tampopo.
