Warning: Spoilers
I don't usually watch these kind of movies.. too much drama and predicted plot.. But since this one was really focusing on japan I told myself I have to go see it.

The movie itself is great.. it really shows Japan of today! really explains how foreigners do in japan. how they work , live , have fun.. and even meet people and fall in love!

The movie consist on an old man who owns a ramen shop, and Abby (Brittany Murphy)which is fascinated by the effects of ramen on people. Abby struggle with the old man and she wants him to teach her the secret of ramen. The old man is very stubborn and strict. He treats Abby has a little spoiled American kid , and give her no discounts. The movie shows how ramen is being made very nicely and that it has to be made with soul (Tamashii,魂).

This is a story about Abby's journey of finding her purpose in life and soul to pour into the ramen soup. Abby's journey is tough , and through the hole movie she's struggling to understand the definition of Tamashii.

I think this movie is wonderful feed for those who like Japan. especially if you like ramen.
