You want slow food movement? Take some notes from this film clip.
I guarantee you’ll never look at a ramen bowl the same way again.
Tampopo (1985, Juzo Itami)
“First, caress the surface with the chopstick tips. To express affection. Then, poke the pork. Just touch it. Caress it with the chopstick tips. Gently pick it up, and dip it into the soup on the right of the bowl. What’s important here is to apologize to the pork by saying, ‘See you soon.’”
this is one of my favourite films. konnichiwa is a local japanese restaurant (i love that they don’t do sushi, most things are comfort foods; curries, noodles, don bowls, etc) and they have a big Tampopo poster and offer “tampopo ramen” on menu.
