food, glorious food. . .

This is why I keep coming back. It's supposedly 'udon,' although the flat, dumpling-like noodles remind me of kishimen in Nagoya. The broth is miso-based, and the soup is chock full of chicken, tofu and chunky vegetables. It was the perfect thing to recover from running around in the rain. We're in Gunma prefecture here, by the way. Almost worth a trip back just for the noodles...
