About the article "Ramen", section ""Tampopo"".

Candidate passages:
Abby (Brittany Murphy) is an American girl who goes to Tokyo to be with her boyfriend, Ethan (Gabriel Mann).
Ethan tells her that he has to go to Osaka on a business trip and may not be back for a while.
Abby asks to go with him but Ethan refuses and breaks up with her.
Abby goes to a ramen shop afterward, and the chef Maezumi (Toshiyuki Nishida) and his wife Reiko (Kimiko Yo) tell her that they are closed.
Abby does not understand them as she does not speak Japanese.
She starts to cry, so the chef conveys to her to sit down.
He brings her a bowl of ramen, and she loves it.
A small distance away, she hallucinates that the lucky cat, known as the Maneki Neko, or Beckoning Cat, gestures to her to come over.
She offers to pay for her meal, but the chef and his wife refuse.
The next day she comes back and sits down at the counter.
He gives her another bowl of ramen and she eats.
As she eats, she breaks into uncontrollable giggles, as does another patron.
The following day she returns, but is told they are out of ramen.
Seeing the wife's swollen ankles, she insists on helping instead.
After the night is through, she is passed out asleep in the back.
They shoo her out, but as she is walking away she realizes she wants to cook ramen.
Rushing back into the store, she begs him to teach her how to cook ramen.
He argues, but finally gives in and tells her to come the next day at 5.
She shows up late, in high heels and a dress, and is put to work scrubbing the toilet and cleaning pots and pans.
In the following weeks Maezumi only gives her cleaning work in the hopes that she quits, but she comes back.
After she is given work as a waitress, she wins the hearts of all who come in, including two older women who are regular customers, and a 20-ish male laborer regular who develops a crush on her.
On a rare night off, she heads to a night club with a British man named Charlie and an American woman named Gretchen whom she met earlier.
The three meet Toshi Iwamoto (Sohee Park) and his friends.
Abby and Toshi fall in love.
But soon, Toshi has to go to Shanghai, China for three years.
He asks Abby to come with him, but she declines, saying she can't.
They share their last kiss.
Abby learns during the Christmas week of someone named Shintaro.
She sees Maezumi crying over a collection of letters and photos from Paris.
His wife then tells Abby that Maezumi and Shintaro, their son, have not spoken in 5 years since Shintaro left for France.
Abby soon learns how to make ramen, but Maezumi insists that it has no soul.
Maezumi's mother tastes her ramen and tells her, in Japanese, that she is cooking with her head; when Abby confesses that there is only pain in her heart, Maezumi's mother advises that she should put tears in her ramen, as she has no love to share.
Later in the film, she is shown cooking ramen, crying.
The two ladies, the 20-ish male laborer, and another 20-ish male laborer from Okinawa, taste her ramen and almost immediately become melancholic, the pain in Abby's ramen bringing out their own.
Maezumi tastes it, and starts to cry, but goes upstairs to his home.
One day, Maezumi talks with a rival, who brags about his son having a master chef come to taste his ramen while ridiculing Maezumi for trying to train Abby.
Maezumi, drunk, says that her ramen will receive the Master Chef's blessing, or he'll stop making ramen.
The Master arrives, and tastes the young man's ramen, sampling small bits of it, very sparingly.
He gives him his blessing, and goes on to Abby.
Abby has strayed from the safety of conventional ramen, and made hers with peppers, corn and tomato, a concoction she calls "Goddess Ramen".
The Master says Abby's noodles are good, but he cannot give her his blessing, saying that she needs more time and restraint.
Maezumi is sad to have to stop his business, but talks to Abby.
He tells her about his son wanting to learn French cooking, but she does not understand.
He tells her that the ramen shop needs a successor, and that she is the successor of his ramen shop.
She leaves for America soon, but before that, is invited to a celebration.
Maezumi gives her the lantern that had hung outside his ramen shop for 45 years, and she takes it to America with her, where it is shown a year later outside her shop in New York City, appropriately named The Ramen Girl.
The shop hangs a photo of Maezumi and his wife with their son happily in Paris.
Then, an employee of hers tells her about a man wanting to see her.
It is Toshi.
He says he hated his job and that he decided to do what she would do: quit his job and go back to what he loved - writing music.
She welcomes him to her ramen shop and they kiss.

The production and consumption of ramen was a large part of the 1985 Japanese comedy film "Tampopo" by director Juzo Itami.
Two truck drivers, Goro and Gun (Tsutomu Yamazaki and Ken Watanabe), help the widowed Tampopo (Nobuko Miyamoto) with her failing ramen shop.
Food in every aspect of life is the overarching theme, but the art of good ramen is touched upon several times throughout the film as Goro and Gun help her learn how to make the best ramen.
Yang Eun-bi (Lee Chung-ah) is a university student in her mid-20s preparing for her civil service exam with the dream of being a high school teacher.
She accidentally encounters Cha Chi-soo (Jung Il-woo), the arrogant heir to the biggest food conglomerate in South Korea.
Cha Chi-soo, newly home after a failed attempt to attend school in New York City, fascinates women with his good looks and easy charm.
Eun-bi is attracted to him before she finds out that he is only a high school senior and thus several years younger than her.
However, her student-teaching assignment finds her not only working at the high school that Chi-soo's family owns, but teaching his homeroom class.
She grows to dislike him for his arrogance and lack of empathy.
He, on the other hand, becomes fascinated with her because she is outspoken and athletic, unlike the other women he knows.
Yet, he does not interpret the fascination as romantic interest, since he is out of her league and usually dates pretty, self-interested girls like Yoon So-yi, a ballet student also dating Chi-Soo's rebellious classmate Kim Ba-wool.
Eun-bi resists her attraction in turn, believing Chi-soo is only toying with her.
Eun-bi wants a more serious relationship after being dumped by a cheating ex-boyfriend after waiting for him to complete his mandatory military service.
She frequently turns to her dating-savvy roommate/ex-high school volleyball teammate Kang Dong-joo for advice.
After Eun-bi's father (Jung In-ki) passes away, she is surprised to find that he left the ramen restaurant he owned to Choi Kang-hyuk (Lee Ki-woo), who he had helped when Kang-hyuk was a troubled youth, instead of to her.
It is soon revealed that Eun-bi's father did this with the hope that Kang-hyuk and Eun-bi would marry.
Eun-bi, after losing her student-teaching assignment because of her conflicts with Chi-soo, starts to work at the ramen shop, along with homeless fellow students Kim Ba-wool (Park Min-woo) and Woo Hyun-woo (Jo Yoon-woo).
Chi-soo wants to work at the restaurant as well, in order to get over his growing obsession with Eun-bi.
Kang-hyuk, who knows that he and Chi-soo actually have the same mother, allows him to join the shop out of concern for his cold half-brother.
Kang-hyuk quickly develops feelings for Eun-bi, but she finds herself more attracted to passionate Chi-soo.
Chi-soo, after many misunderstandings, realizes that his obsession with Eun-bi is attraction and actively competes for Eun-Bi's affections with Kang-hyuk.
However, Chi-soo's father (Joo Hyun) disapproves.
Chi-soo's (and Kang-hyuk's) mother had also been an average (not rich) woman, and Chi-soo's father believes that difference was one of the causes of their separating several years before.
Chi-soo's father's company is planning to redevelop the area in which the ramen shop is located, and Chi-soo's father tries to use the possible destruction of the ramen shop as leverage to keep Eun-bi and Chi-soo apart.
Chi-soo has become attached to the ramen shop and is also afraid of being disowned, and so he initially chooses to stay with his father.
Eun-bi realizes, however, that she wants to try seriously dating him; she storms his family's apartment to claim him from his father, and they leave together.
The ramen shop is forced to close, but its workers accept this development without complaint.
Chi-soo's father disinherits him and has his U.S. citizenship revoked, so that Chi-soo is now subject to the South Korean military draft.
The show ends with Chi-soo visiting Eun-bi after he has completed his two-year service in the South Korean Army without contacting her; they kiss as the camera pans over the neighborhood where they first met. 
Ramen and the Shin-Yokohama Raumen Museum are featured in the 2008 American romantic comedy drama "The Ramen Girl", starring Brittany Murphy as Abby, an American woman who stays in Tokyo after her breaking up with her boyfriend.
One rainy night, feeling lonely and lost in her Tokyo apartment, she was spiritually called to the local restaurant, to be served with a hot bowl of ramen by Maezumi the restaurant owner (played by Toshiyuki Nishida).
Maezumi is also mourning, for the loss of his son to French cuisine and his lack of successor to his restaurant.
Maezumi however reluctantly agrees to train the newly ramen inspired Abby in the art of making ramen.
The story focuses on Abby's apprenticeship under Maezumi and their never fully resolved language barrier, along with Maezumi's confusion on Abby's inability to quickly learn and Abby's bewilderment at Maezumi's style of tutelage.
It culminates in the unofficial recognition of Abby's personal "Ramen Goddess" by the grandmaster of ramen and her succession to Maezumi with her new New York ramen restaurant.
