b'High flying kicks. Death defying stunts. Relentless, Unyielding Violence...

Is NOT what Tampopo is about. This 1985 classic follows Tampopo as she develops from a fledgling, would-be ramen chef to the best in town. Through her sheer passion and desire to create the world\\u2019s best ramen, Tampopo finds mentors, partners, and friends who help her develop and perfect her craft. What this film lacks in martial arts ACTION, it makes up for with martial arts SPIRIT. As Tampopo faces adversity, setback, and stumble, she and her crew press forward in the name of culinary perfection. A pursuit done for its own sake, not for the money or the glory, this film perfectly embodies the spirit of martial arts - not to best others, but to be the best version of yourself. And that\\u2019s without even talking about the food-obsessed gangsters!
