In this humorous paean to the joys of food, a pair of truck drivers happen onto a decrepit roadside shop selling ramen noodles. The widowed owner, Tampopo, begs them to help her turn her establishment into a paragon of the "art of noodle-soup making". Interspersed are satirical vignettes about the importance of food to different aspects of human life.

Verdict: The editing maybe choppy, the film-stock slightly sloppy, and the comedy occasionally floppy, but there are some lingering moments of delight in this celebration of down-to-earth gourmet respites..
