Tampopo is a 1985 Japanese film directed by Juzo Itami, starring Tsutomu Yamazaki and Ken Watanabe.A sketch comedy revolving around food, its main narrative involves a pair of truck drivers, one dressed like a cowboy, who take it upon themselves to revitalize the eponymous character's failing ramen shop. Another bit involves a white-suited Yakuza and his mistress engaging in food play. Beyond that, there's a man who teaches the proper method of eating ramen, managers getting upstaged by a subordinate at a French restaurant, spaghetti slurping, homeless foodies, trips to the dentist, an old woman who wrecks a grocer's produce, a pickpocket who loves peking duck, and a dying housewife who prepares one last meal for her family.The film was popular overseas in the late-'80s art house circuit, and many ramen shops claim to have been inspired by it. | |

Culture Clash | |
| Tampopo / int_70ade2c4 | comment |
Culture Clash: Parodied. The high-end European restaurant is offering Western etiquette lessons to Japanese women, where care is taken to demonstrate the "proper" way to eat spaghetti, which is portrayed as a dainty, slow process. The demonstrator is quickly interrupted by a Western man slurping at his own spaghetti, which is ironically the correct etiquette for eating Japanese noodle dishes like ramen. | |

Overcomplicated Menu Order | |
| Tampopo / int_ff13573f | comment |
Overcomplicated Menu Order: In a commentary on traditional Japanese business etiquette, a bunch of businessmen visit a French restaurant and each orders the same meal (Sole Meuniere with consomme and a Heineken) so as not to upstage anyone more seniornote the most senior members at the table make hints that they don't know what to order but aren't in the mood for anything complicated, so a middle manager orders something safe that everyone else can copy without losing face — except the most junior executive. He turns out to be an expert on French food, and makes a complex order and wine selection that thrills the waiter, but embarrasses the heck out of everyone else. | |
