Everybody loves Japanese food, right?  Well, Tofugu.com has posted a list of the tastiest Japanese food movies.

They begin it with:

When’s the last time you walked away from a movie hungry? 

It’s pretty rare for me. American movies about food seem to be few and far between, and the ones that are around are usually socially-conscious documentaries that bum me out more than anything. 

Japanese movies about food seem to do exactly the opposite. Most food movies out of Japan focus a lot on the role of food in bringing people together, the journeys people go through for food and, most importantly of all, always make me really hungry. Would you expect anything less from the country that brought us Iron Chef?

Of the movies on the list, I've seen one of them (about a month or so ago), Jiro Dreams of Sushi.  The article features trailers for each.
