The Observer Food Monthly has a list of "The top 50 things every foodie should do."
Number 12 on the list of 50:
12) Slurp udon noodles in Takamatsu
Takamatsu, in the prefecture of Kagawa, on the island of Shikoku, to the south of Japan is to noodle lovers what Mecca is to Muslims. According to Terry Durack, restaurant critic and author of Hunger, in this one little town, 300 noodle restaurants all serve up bowls of big thick white, gloopy udon noodles. He suggests you look for hand-kneaded udon, and tells us not to worry about making a noise as we eat. You're supposed to slurp.
This I did last month. It was very, very good :)
