蓮見 壽Hisashi Hasumi
-
A famous "udon critic" who became the owner of his own handmade udon restaurant.
Born on November 7th, 1952 in Saitama prefecture. As a boy, he "disliked" the udon made from dry noodles that was served at his home, and grew up to be a "udon critic." He was quite impressed after trying a package of "homemade wheat flour for udon" at the supermarket, and became addicting to making his own udon noodles. With over 10 years of udon critique under his belt, he was then able to not only converse with udon chefs he met in his travels as a customer, but as a fellow chef, enabling him to polish both his skills and tongue at the same time. Finally, he opened his own udon noodle restaurant in 2012.
