- 1 videocassette (115 min.) : sd., col.; 1/2 in.
- Summary
- A tall, dark cowboy-hatted stranger named Goro rides into town on a milk truck and enters the nearest noodle shop, run by Tampopo. Tampopo's sweet demeanor cannot change the fact that her food is inedible. The brash Goro resolves to take the shopowner under his wing, and together, they embark on a quest to discover the perfect noodle soup recipe. Described by Itami as a "ramen western" due to its similarity to Shane and the spaghetti western, this "gastronomic comedy of table manners" satirizes Japanese mores in a hilarious series of vignettes which also provide a catalogue of culinary delights.
