Results After Installation

When opening a restaurant serving juwari soba, I had my eye on a cost-effective noodle-making machine called "Men-nuri Meijin," but I was skeptical about the firmness and taste of the soba itself.

I wondered if it was possible to produce soba that tasted as good as handmade soba without the use of any glue, so I went to a restaurant that actually uses the "Mensuchi Meijin" and tried some soba.

What I was looking for was exactly this flavor, this taste, and above all, this firmness. I was also convinced by the durability and maintainability of the "Mentei Meijin" and decided to purchase it. Considering our current sales, I think we should have purchased it earlier. Laughs.

Now I can't live without it.
