021 Ramen Documentary "Come Back Anytime" discussion with John Daschbach and Wataru Yamamoto

April 24, 2021 • Ramen Schmoe

Bizentei is a fantastic Ramen Shop that's been around since 1979. On a trip earlier this year I noticed a poster for "Come Back Anytime", an upcoming documentary about the shop. My curiosity was piqued, and reached out to Director John Daschbach and Producer Wataru Yamamoto to discuss their project.

John and Wataru share what inspired them to make the film, and give us wonderful stories about the Master Ueda-san and his wife. Bizentei has no successor so watch as Ueda-san lives life to the fullest before his shop disappears. Learn what makes Bizentei so compelling, and put it on your list when you visit Tokyo.

"Come Back Anytime" is getting its world premier at the Hot Docs Documentary Film Festival on April 29th. If you are in Canada, check it out. If not, make sure to check out the "Come Back Anytime" website for updates on a wider release.
