Episode 212 - AWNAM: Tampopo (1985)

Anime Was (Not) A Mistake is serving up a cinema special, with piping hot broth and delicious pork! On tonight's Animesterpiece menu it's the comedic, human, and endearing Tampopo (1985). After this movie you will never look at a bowl of ramen in the same way! Juzo Itami's masterwork has as many lessons to teach, as stomachs to fill. When a couple truckers stumble upon a single mom who works tirelessly to craft the perfect ramen, a culinary adventure begins that takes us into the hungry lives of people all over Japan. Is there anything more essential and uniting to all of humankind than food? Along the way we will sample omurice, turtle soup, spaghetti, and the seductive allure of shellfish and cream. Come join us for a literal smorgasburg of film/food. We hope you brought your appetite! Are you hungry?
