On this episode of Japan 2.0, David and Matt discuss Itami Juzo’s Tampopo.

What is the right way to eat ramen? What makes the best bowl of ramen? What does it feel like to have a live king-shrimp in a bowl of soy sauce placed on your belly? Tampopo is a wild movie! Warning, this movie will make you hungry.

If you haven’t seen Tampopo before, we recommend that you watch the film before listening to this episode, because this is a spoiler filled discussion on a movie that has earned the Japan 2.0 seal of approval.

Songs of the show: “Omelette Rice ”
