Interspersing the efforts of Tampopo (Nobuko Miyamoto) and friends to make her café a success with the erotic exploits of a gastronome gangster and glimpses of food culture both high and low, the sweet, sexy, and surreal Tampopo is a lavishly inclusive paean to the sensual joys of nourishment, and one of the most mouthwatering examples of food on film ever made.DVD FEATURES:New 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-rayThe Making of “Tampopo,” a ninety-minute documentary from 1986, narrated by director Juzo ItamiNew interview with actor Nobuko MiyamotoNew interviews with ramen scholar Hiroshi Osaki; food stylist Seiko Ogawa; and American chefs Sam White, Rayneil De Guzman, Jerry Jaksich, and othersRubber Band Pistol, Itami’s 1962 debut short filmNew video essay by Tony Zhou and Taylor Ramos on the film’s themes of self-improvement and mastery of a craftTrailerNew English subtitle translationPLUS: An essay by food and culture writer Willy BlackmoreCopyright DirectToU LLC.
