Abby, four years out of college, an aimless child of privilege, comes to Tokyo to be with her boyfriend, who promptly leaves for Osaka. She wants to stay in Tokyo in hopes hell come back to her, but shes miserable: she speaks little Japanese and has a dull job as a law-firm gopher. She stumbles into the neighborhood ramen shop operated by the aging master chef Maezumi and his wife Reiko. His soup cheers Abby, so she decides to apprentice herself to him. Hes uninterested, shes insistent, so he shouts at her and gives her all the cleaning to do. Weeks go by; shes persistent. Will he ever actually teach her to cook? And if he does, will she bring the requisite spirit to the job?
Like a fish out of water, Abby, an American girl in Tokyo who doesnt speak a word of Japanese, struggles to survive in the bustling metropolis, after her boyfriend cruelly breaks up with her. As a result, disheartened and feeling unfulfilled in her job at a law firm, Abby enters the neighbourhoods ramen shop where she will meet her future teacher: the tyrannical restaurants owner and inspired chef, Maezumi. Under those circumstances, Abby will find her calling as a ramen chef, while in the meantime, both teacher and apprentice are lost in translation. In the end, has the insistent Abby what it takes to unlock the secret to the best ramen creation?
