Udon

Udon, the movie, left me craving for a nice hot bowl of udon soup with egg. It wouldn't it be wonderful to have a nice steamy soup to warm the tummy in the cold cinema? I believe it would be perfecto!

Kosuke left his hometown for the big apple, aspiring to be a great comedian. He dislike his town and resents his father for spending all his time making udon. Broke and badly in debt, Kosuke has no choice for to head home for a retreat. Things did not seem to change for the years that Kosuke has been away.

To clear his debt, Kosuke joins a local community publication and created a craze of udon pilgrimage which changes his life forever. Towards the end of the movie, Kosuke finally understands why his father has such dedication and diligence toward making udon for the community. He is finally able to make peace and closure with this father.

Rating: 4 out of 5 fairy clouds. Behind the face of each craftman lies a story much deeper and passionate about his committment towards producing the best product. Kosuke's father is the same. He is an old friend, who seems to be always there, bringing the joy of a simple bowl of udon soup to the town where he lives and dies.
