In Ramen Heads, Japan’s reigning King of Ramen, Osamu Tomita, takes audiences deep into his world by revealing every single step of his obsessive approach to creating the perfect soup and noodles, along with his relentless search for the highest-quality ingredients. Loft Cinema will screen the film at 7:30 p.m., May 8.

In addition to Tomita, the film also profiles five other notable ramen shops, each with its own philosophy and flavor, exemplifying the different aspects of the ramen world. Mixing in a brief look at ramen’s historical roots, this mouth-watering, eye-opening documentary offers viewers an in-depth look at the culture and “ramen head” fandom surrounding this unique and beguiling dish.
The Fat Noodle food truck will be on hand before the movie, serving up delicious noodles, dumplings, ramen burgers and more.
