もんぞううどん屋_Little Tokyo

It's been hard dieting and staying off my carbs because I'm usually drinking it. I usually try to avoid eating them especially when it comes to rice and noodles. If you ask me what type of noodle I prefer I would definitely choose ramen noodles. The thickness of udon noodles always fills me up a lot quicker and I feel bloated after one bowl.

In my theory, when I eat ramen, I feel like the broth is what makes the dish as for udon on the other hand, the main focus SHOULD be on the actual quality and texture of the noodles. When I first watched the movie Udon, I realized that the movie really depicts the true artisans behind making udon very accurately. 

The movie is based in Kagawa which is famous for and also known as "Udon Country." The wifey and I are planning to load up on oodles of noodles on our next trip as we depart on our own udon adventure. Of course to counteract this trip we're gonna walk every where to burn off those carbs.

As we approached the front of the restaurant, I noticed it was kind of dark and moody from the outside but upon entering you're eyes can't help but fix towards the front counter where a "magic show" happens every so often. With a little of research before hand I learned that Ken, the main chef and owner was an actual udon chef in Kagawa! Talk about having roots and being successful internationally, Ken may have found his niche in the udon industry in America is nothing short of being on top.

そろそろ 始めましょう!
