Agreed. He's a great grandpa! =D

Also, udon must keep you young. He hardly looks like a 59 year-old.

There's no greater moment than watching the faces of people who see familiar creations of yours from scratch. It's truly amazing, and I hope this man lives on to create many more in his life.

I think that sometimes the greatest presents/gifts you can give someone come not from being bought but being made because of what you invest to make them.

"Hidebochi has run an udon shop for 32 years and worked as a "weekend carpenter" for 52 years. But this summer, the 59-year-old undertook a different sort of construction"

This "weekend carpenter" gig has kept him busy since he was 7 eh?! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
