Yemek ve yemek fetişizmi üzerine eğlenceli bir film olan 'Tampopo'da içiçe geçmiş çok karakterli pek çok öykü anlatılıyor. Tampopo kendi restoranında özensiz ‘Ramen’ pişirip durmaktadır. Goro ve arkadaşı ise yol üstünde karınlarını doyurmaya gelmişlerdir fakat kendilerini Tampopo’ya aşçılıkta ustalaşmakta yardım ederken bulurlar.

Yaptıklarınızın sürekli sıradan, hatta ortalamanın altında kalması inanılmaz can sıkıcıdır.
