Tampopo
directed by Juzo Itami

Ok. I know I talk about this movie all the time and you all have to watch it! Here is one of my favorite scenes. A ramen teacher teaches a student on how to properly eat ramen. You might recognize the student. It’s Ken Watanabe from the Last Samurai.

Here is the trailer

And here is the sexiest way to eat an egg. This is the ultimate food porn scene.

Now I know that this is a repost of an older post, but some of my new friends keep asking me about this movie.
