U-1 Udon Grand Prix 2015

Challenging Yoyogi Park's Tenkaichi Tournament for the title of Japan's number one udon contest, the U-1 Grand Prix was first held in Osaka in 2013 and now gears up for its second Tokyo edition. 20 top noodle-makers from all across the country will do battle on the Ishi to Hikari plaza in Ariake, where you can look forward to offerings from the likes of Yamagata's Yamakame and Fukuoka's Kasu Udon, plus plenty of related tipples and not-so-related but entertaining performances.
