CULINARY CINEMA: TAMPOPO

life’s simple pleasures.

Spontan’s kitchen serves an exclusive four-course Japanese menu: two varieties of ramen, delicately prepared dry-aged fish sashimi, and a refined dessert. A carefully curated drink pairing is also available.

About the film

The term “spaghetti western” is well known – but have you heard of a noodle western? Tampopo borrows conventions from the western genre but transplants them far from the Wild West, resulting in one of Japan’s greatest cult comedies.

Truck drivers Goro and Gun stop at a small ramen shop run by the widowed Tampopo, who is struggling to stay afloat. Goro offers advice, and together they set out to create the perfect bowl of noodles. This quest leads them into a series of witty and unpredictable episodes.

Since its release in 1985, Tampopo has achieved cult status. Legendary critic Roger Ebert awarded it four stars and compared its humor to that of Jacques Tati. With its playful detours and remarkable attention to detail, this is a truly original and delightful film.
