Summary: (by Reid Gagle via www.imdb.com)
"In this humorous paean to the joys of food,
the main story is about trucker Goro, who
rides into town like a modern Shane to
help Tampopo set up the perfect noodle
soup restaurant. Woven into this main story
are a number of smaller stories about the
importance of food, ranging from a gangster
who mixes hot sex with food, to an old woman
who terrorizes a shopkeeper by compulsively
squeezing his wares."
My Comments:
For the holidays, we have a wacky-funny
comedy with the main story of the search,
spying and training (Rocky style) for the
perfect ramen soup, with some touches of

silliness interspersed throughout - making
fun of food and culture and ...
Hope you can come enjoy it with us.
