Wanting to experience for himself how real Japanese dishes taste, on the spur of the moment he takes his wife and 2 children on a trip to Japan. On their first evening in the country, the family heads to Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho and tries some Yakisoba noodles, which he thinks look like soggy worms, and soon acquires a taste for them.
