crazy about udon noodles

One of the things I miss the most from all my trips to Tokyo is noodles in all kinds of shapes. Ramen, Soba and like here, Udon!

I remember going for lunch across the street from the HQ, in a shopping center close to Shinagawa station, for noodles in a small restaurant with a very happy and always smiling man. My favourite dish at that place was the udon noodles with pork, and I have tried to recreate something similar at home.
