We headed down to new udon house Tamoya on Sunday to find it full of tiny patrons, little Japanese children—all sporting bowl-haircuts—some just chatting and others slurping individual servings of thick noodles. They looked so comfortable and self sufficient...like miniature adults. The scene made us feel like giants in Lilliput, till we noticed their parents waiting to order at the self service counter, in a long snaking line extending outside the eatery.
