And so our journey begins...

I grew up in a town that had not one but two restaurants with excellent udon.  Instead of forever pining after it or driving 8 hours one way every time I had a craving for udon, I decided to systematically go to every Japanese restaurant in Portland until I found one equal to that of my increasingly nostalgic and distant memories.  I started reviewing them on blogspot as a way of keeping track of where I have been, and so that others might benefit from my scouting efforts.  Up to now I've been posting my reviews on my other blog, but I have decided to move them here.  Reviewing food is more specific and possibly more interesting than my random ramblings about sleep deprivation and trips to comic-con, so it seems like a good idea to keep them separate.  Here follows the epic hunt of the udon.
