I love kitsune udon. I once had it in a hole in the wall ramen place in Tokyo, where I had to read the menu by matching kanji to my phrasebook (this was 2001, no smartphone camera Google Translate) and order in my terrible Japanese. The food was worth the effort, though.
(My pronunciation was so terrible that the proprietor didn't understand me, but the salaryman sitting a few seats down the counter did and explained what the silly American wanted.)
