Udon combo in Tokyo

I have a bit of a noodle problem whenever I get to Japan--like I have to eat noodles at least once a day or I freak out. Today I had Udon for breakfast and we'll see what dinner brings.

In case you think that noodles are not serious business here you might be interested in this fancy new Ramen Radar application (Windows only, cursed beast) that tracks ramen shops based on peoples reports.

Just when the trains and crowds of Tokyo start to make you nuts, something like this comes along and renews my faith in humanity.
