The cinematic equivalent of stealing away to your favourite noodle joint for a blissful escape, let the soft, lamenting jazz soundtrack and steaming bowls of broth take you to ramen heaven, across a year in the life of legendary ramen master Masamoto Ueda.
Over more than four decades, self-taught master chef Masamoto Ueda and his wife Kazuko have run the Tokyo noodle bar Bizentei. There, he serves his famous soy-based ramen dishes to dedicated patrons for whom the restaurant has become an intimate place of community. Such is their close kinship that, each year, Ueda leads regulars on seasonal pilgrimages across Japan’s picturesque countryside, in this heart-warming dedication to environmental harmony, camaraderie, community, and family.
“Engrossing … A heartfelt tribute to this fascinating spot, and it’s well worth savouring.” – Exclaim
In Japanese with English subtitles.
