Back on episode 151: Hot Docs 2021, Rachel and Dakota reviewed a ramen documentary called Come Back Anytime. They both fell in love with the gentle and warm doc about Master Masamoto Ueda who is not only a great ramen chef, but also a community leader in his neighbourhood in Tokyo. Director John Daschbach is an American that lives in Japan and became a regular at the shop and decided to make a documentary about the noodle king. We get in depth on how to best capture food on film, how Abbas Kiarostami and Krzysztof Kieślowski influence him and how the shop is now getting international visitors.
