Welcome to culinary cinema at Kosmorama 2026!
Kosmorama once again welcomes you to a selection of culinary film experiences for the festivals 22nd edition March 2.-8. 2026.
TAMPOPO AT SPONTAN VINBAR
Tuesday 3. March & Wednesday 4. March at 19:00
Pack your suitcase and get ready for a sensory journey to Japan!
Spontan Vinbar invites you to a culinary evening in collaboration with Kosmorama — where film and gastronomy meet in a celebration of Japanese culinary art. On Tuesday and Wednesday during the festival week, we’re screening the cult classic Tampopo (1985) — a legendary “noodle western” that celebrates the passion for ramen, humor, and life’s simple pleasures.
Spontan’s kitchen presents an exclusive Japanese four-course menu: two varieties of ramen, delicate sashimi of dry-aged fish, and a refined dessert.
Price per person: NOK 1150. For those seeking the full experience, a carefully curated drink pairing will be available for purchase at the table.
About the Film
You’ve heard of spaghetti westerns — but have you heard of a noodle western? Tampopo borrows several conventions from the western genre, but its story unfolds as far from the Wild West as you can imagine. The result is one of Japan’s finest and most original cult comedies of all time.
The widow Tampopo runs a small ramen shop and struggles to keep her business afloat. Together with truck drivers Goro and Gun, she embarks on a series of clever and unpredictable adventures in their quest to create the perfect bowl of noodles.
Age limit: 15 years.
