It's funny I own the DVD but hadn't watched it in a long time. I popped it in reluctantly thinking my taste had probably changed. And it just blew me away ALL over again. Like seeing it for the first time.
I got excited. I got awe-struck. I got emotional (When Tampopo's transformation is complete). And of course I laughed, and laughed, and laughed.

I want to add my name as a late entry to the list of "Tampopo" lovers. I was introduced to this film by an aunt who loved foreign cinema, a while back. I revisited it some years later when I went through a food-film binge. Watched it about 2 years back, and just picked up a copy and came here to see what folks are saying. Good to see fans of the movie.
This film is, vernacularly speaking, the bomb.

I've been watching it for more than 15 years.
A BEAUTIFUL film.., a very funny one, and an astonishing experience.

As I see, we both patronize the same trough!

I agree with y'all, and I second the original posters thoughts. Surprising how good this film is yet its fairly unknown. (I found it while randomly watching foreign films on the web the other day.)

some experts on Japanese Cinema consider Tampopo in the top five greatest Japanese films ever made.
I cannot argue with this theory.
attention grammar-cops: you're not as smart as you expect from us.

The first time I saw this movie was when I was just a kid, must have been like 20 years ago and videly remember every eating scene because I got so hungry the more the movie progressed.
Many years later I rewatched the movie and it got same effect again, I was so craving for asian food lol. Good thing that I'm half thai and many dishes in the movie I can make myself, so after watching it, I spend the following days preparing the dishes that were featured in the movie
Yummy time!

I'm glad to see the growing population of Tampopo lovers!
It is one of the greatest films ever made and more people should know about it!
If you like this one, try watching Survive Style 5+ XD

This is one of my favorite films. It's a document of the human condition, an epic achievement in it's own modest way. I tried to turn a friend on to it, and he couldn't watch more than ten minutes of it. Oh well, his loss. Glad YOU liked it!

It does indeed get better every time.
