Foodie Footage: How to Make Udon (from the movie “Udon” – 2006)
I never thought that udon becomes such a big crave in one of Japan’s smallest province – Sanuki and that’s based on a certain fact!
In Tokyo, 500 stores of McDonald’s serve more than 10 million people while in Sanuki, 900 udon stores serve for a population of 1 million people!
I’ll get to you with the reviews sometime soon but by the way, in this movie, Yusuke Santamaria and his friends decided to scour the province to create a culinary directory for udon lovers and you can see a bit of their adventure here alongside how to make udon noodles the way they do in Sanuki.
Rian Farisa stars himself in a flick about how a culinary correspondent living a life full of adventures as if he will live forever.
At the end of the day, he lives to retell the chronicles of his swashbuckling daring gastronomic adventures like a bard singing his tales of beautiful faraway lands.
Since gastronomy consists of complex aspects and that is where his passion lies, he decided to unravel how businessmen, hawkers and luxurious restaurants alike, serve their dishes for the patrons. Whether they only serve for the advantages in taste or only the surroundings or whether they really throw anything for the sake of customer’s satisfaction, he shall be solely the only one who can tell and in the name of this noble profession, justice shall be done!
