The film stars Brittany Murphy (Just Married, Sin City) as the American Abby who gets somehow lost in Tokyo when dumped by her boyfriend. She finds herself again while training to become a Ramen chef in a local Ramen shop. Her sensei is a cranky old man who doesn't speak English. Abby doesn't speak Japanese. Eventually, despite the cultural clash she learns how to put passion and spirit into her cooking and her life.
But see for youself:
Last year, when we stayed in Malaysia we used to eat at Ajisen Ramen regularly. We loved it. Went there twice a week sometimes. A shame that there isn't Ajisen in Frankfurt or London. But we have Mosch Mosch in Frankfurt, another Japanese noodle restaurant. Delicious! And they cook Ramen as well.
