So I paid $50 for Tokyo Mighty Guy and this was also on there. So there you have it. No, but actually on the menu of the disc it interspersed scenes from both films, I couldn't tell what was what, but I knew I definitely liked what I saw. Visually, it's wonderful. It's '60s Japan. You know what you're getting into here. However, the film's just... kinda boring. There's one scene I remember well, and another that I can't remember if it was in this or Tokyo Mighty Guy.

My expectations were FAR too high for this film, but it seriously ticks all my boxes. First I was sold just on the poster. Look at this fuckin' guy. Akira Kobayashi's charisma comes through in a single image. It's also about cooking, is Japanese and was made in the '60s. I ALSO FOUND OUT AFTER PUTTING IT ON THAT IT'S KIND OF A FUCKING MUSICAL. How is this not my favorite movie? Well, I don't know, I'll have to watch it again to figure that out.
