"Tampopo follows the life of a young widow who runs a small noodle restaurant in Tokoyo and her quest for the perfect bowl of ramen. Helping her to attain top ramen status is Goro, the truck driver who at first criticizes Tampopo's cooking ability and then helps her to master it."
"In "the first noodle Western," a young Tokyo widow begins a quest for the perfect bowl of ramen."
""Two milk-truck drivers (wanderin' cowpokes) stop in at a ramen shop, where a group of men (varmints) eye them suspiciously. But driver Goro (Tsutomu Yamazaki), who has the Mt. Rushmore mug of a Palance or Peck and sports a cowboy hat, immediately gets into a brawl when he makes less-than-complimentary remarks about the noodles. After the five against one slugfest, restaurant hostess Tampopo (Nobuko Myamoto) begs the beaten-up Goro to help her build the best noodle place in town"--Container."

"A comedy concerning a Japanese funeral that illustrates the ambivalent relationship of modern Japan with its traditional past. An old man's unexpected death creates havoc with his family. The three day undertaking becomes a comedy of manners as the younger generation struggles with the complex rituals of the Buddhist ceremony."

"This film began as a series of anecdotes about food which Itami strung together by a narrative with a plot borrowed from the classic westerns Rio Bravo and Shane. The central character is a truck-driver, an expert noodle cook given to wearing a cowboy hat and boots who encounters Tampopo, the proprietor of a run-down noodle bar. The gags, a series of jibes at food culture, form a satirical pastiche involving a different set of characters in a variety of locations."
