I haven't seen this movie yet, but I remember a scene from a movie where a girl is eating ramen noodles along with other people in a restaurant. Apparently she's eating them too quietly, and without any gusto, because everyone else at the table stops eating their noodles and looks at her. With a sheepish look she resumes eating, only now with loud slurping. Is this a scene from Tampopo?

Hmmm, the only part I remember about the noise level when eating noodles was in a restaurant scene where young ladies were being schooled in the proper way to eat spaghetti. Making a sound was not socially acceptable - and even a certain number of noodles should be picked up on the fork. When a non-Japanese patron slurped his noodles loudly, all the ladies - including their etiquette teacher - began enjoying their spaghetti "in the Japanese way". It was hilarious the amount of noodles they began shoveling into their mouths as well as the accompanying slurping sound effects!
