IFS Dinner & A Movie: Tampopo

May 10th: Doors 5pm | Dinner at 6PM, Film to Follow

Our first Dinner & A Movie of 2025 is here—and it’s a full-on noodle celebration. Join us for Tampopo, Juzo Itami’s cult classic “ramen western” that’s part food odyssey, part love letter to cinema and cuisine.

Before the screening, Noodle Monster will be serving a Three-Course Ramen Dinner crafted to complement the film’s mouthwatering themes. Sake and adult beverages available at the bar, non-alcholic beverages will also be available.

Come hungry, leave inspired—this is one you won’t want to miss.

Film Synopsis:

Criterion put it best - “The tale of an eccentric band of culinary ronin who guide the widow of a noodle-shop owner on her quest for the perfect recipe, this rapturous “ramen western” by Japanese director Juzo Itami is an entertaining, genre-bending adventure underpinned by a deft satire of the way social conventions distort the most natural of human urges—our appetites. Interspersing the efforts of Tampopo (Nobuko Miyamoto) and friends to make her café a success with the erotic exploits of a gastronome gangster and glimpses of food culture both high and low, the sweet, sexy, and surreal Tampopo is a lavishly inclusive paean to the sensual joys of nourishment, and one of the most mouthwatering examples of food on film ever made.”
