This is probably the right place to remind beginners in the study of ramens, that basic knowledge can be acquired from the classic "Tampopo" movie.

Just the opening scene is must-know : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeVhZkbAc5k

What's crazy is that there is a shot in the car where a guy is reading to the driver ! Never have I seen that elsewhere, but what a brilliant idea !

Man, that is a little treasure. And a modest tribute to the majesty of good Ramen. I actually ran yt-dlp on that one...

I am existentially opposed to, among a completely unreasonable large number of things, eating. I am often embarrassed to eat, and rarely fail to consider the final product and its porcelain fate. But Ramen justifies it all; making sense of.. and almost if not actually, dignifying the depraved and insatiable Cannibal Overlord we call our Universe.

One could even ask, if the whole mess was worth it. But to answer fairly, one must experience good Ramen.

Appreciated ;)
