9/10
Ode to the food and Hymn to art of making ramen.

Pure and hidden gem of cinematography. The movie was very refreshing to watch. I haven't expected to make me laugh so many times. The humor in the movie is profound but to understand it fully it needs a little bit of general knowledge about Asian culture and cuisine. The movie has many of short side stories. For me all of them were very funny and slightly quirky. Love and passion for the food is apparent trough out the whole movie. The screenplay was brilliantly written. There are many characters in the movie and they are all diverse and interesting in their own way. Hat down to Mr.Juzo Itami. He made something that is one of a kind.Recommended to all gourmets, lovers of Japanese culture and of course a good and unique movies.
