I've seen it, and found it not worth the reputation it has.  The acting, of 
course, was  of the oriental style: overly dramatic.  The dubbing didn't 
help.  It probably wouldn't have been quite so bad if I spoke Japanese.  The 
plot is that a young widowed mother runs a fast food shop serving Ramen type 
noodles. She is helped to develop the perfect recipe for the noodles by a 
rough and ready type truck driver who also keeps hoodlums from taking over 
the shop and comforts the widow in the time honored way.  (See "The Notebooks 
of Lazarus Long" by R.A, Heinlein)  It's interspersed with scenes of a zen 
teacher instructing a student in the proper way to appreciate Ramen noodles.
