After failing to make it as a comedian in New York, Kosuke Matsui returns defeated and saddled with debt to his hometown. The town is obsessed with noodles, a fact that drove Matsui away in the first place, including his own father who owns a udon shop. Working alongside Kyoko Miyagawa, Matsui chips in as a salesman of a local magazine and covers all the many local udon shops... creating a udon fad in Japan that has the country descending on the town to try out the famous noodles for themselves.
