Tampopo

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.
