Review by Library Journal Review

Down-at-the-heels restaurant owner Tampopo (Nobuko Miyamoto) pursues the perfect ramen, thanks to tutelage from a noodle soup-loving trucker (Tsutomu Yamazaki) who takes a shine to the pixie-coiffed single mother serving up the classic Japanese dish. The entrée amidst several side dish story lines-mainly a recurring one featuring a gangster's use of food as an aphrodisiac-earns Juzi Itami's (A Taxing Woman) delectable comedy a place at the table of memorable culinary flicks (Babette's Feast; Big Night; Chocolat; et al.) worth feasting on.
