Japanese Comedy TAMPOPO ​ Hottest Noodle Soup in Film History
40 years ago, long before
"FoodTok"
and the like, Juzo Itami's comedy celebrated the culinary fetish.
A cinematic masterpiece about what happens when food and desire become one.

What's sexier than a juicy peach? Raw oysters, perhaps? Or perhaps an eggplant? If you are undecided, you should definitely watch TAMPOPO (= Dandelion). Japanese director Juzo Itami serves up what feels like every adult-friendly delicacies at once. It's not for nothing that celebrity chef David Chang calls the movie the
"invention of food porn".

….
As a viewer, you glide through this movie, carried by the various characters and flavours of Japanese cuisine. Itami sadly passed away prematurely, but his love declaration for his homeland's culinary heritage remains no less relevant 40 years after its theatrical premiere on November 23, 1985. In TAMPOPO the people devote their full attention to their food, caressing their ingredients and savoring every single bite as if it were their last — we should try that more often!
