japanese movie scene where the host is making porridge

In this humorous paean to the joys of food, a pair of truck drivers happen onto a decrepit roadside shop selling ramen noodles. The widowed owner, Tampopo, begs them to help her turn her establishment into a paragon of the "art of noodle-soup making". Interspersed are satirical vignettes about the importance of food to different aspects of human life.

Documentary about the making of Juzo Itami's film "Tampopo" (1985).

By the seaside in a quiet Japanese town, there is a remarkable guesthouse. Its owner is a cook like no other. She is a veritable walking encyclopedia of recipes. When guests come to stay at the guesthouse, breakfast is always the most important meal. But there’s a twist: It is not the owner who cooks the breakfast – it’s the guests! (by viki)
