Regarding food, the Japanese understanding can be described as an alternative and unique. The most representative Japanese specialties "food" can be seen from this film.
The first is the "exhaustion of human resources", which is developed through the long-distance freight driver Hei Lang helping the single mother Dandelion learn to make ramen. This thread is typical Japanese food movie style. In order to make a bowl of ramen "so that customers don't even have a drop of soup left", Dandelion underwent devil-like training under the supervision of Heiro. We strive for perfection in terms of noodle texture, soup, and production speed, which fully reflects the characteristics of Japanese food that is famous for its exquisiteness and perfection. Nobuko Miyamoto, who plays Dandelion, is the wife of the director of the film, Itami Shisan, and her queen actress. Her image is soft and firm, full of affinity.
The second is a sub-line with the theme of "erotica". When the young yakusho Koji appeared in such a beautiful scene, I was so frightened that I almost sprayed rice. It was only after seeing it that I realized that this is from "food color sex" to express some people's understanding of food. Really naked Japanese characteristics!
This film, which is mixed with various elements such as comedy films, gangster films, inspirational films, erotic films, social realistic films, etc., takes food as the starting point and reflects the tastes of life. Taste it carefully, you will have an endless aftertaste. Some life is like porridge, warm and plain; some life is like medicine, bitter and astringent; some life is like soup, mellow and wonderful. In the final analysis, the taste of life is the word "boil".
