Making perfect Udon
Kagawa prefecture is a birthplace for both Sanuki Udon and Yamato MFG.
Hailing from this small but astonishingly beautiful and welcoming place Yamato has devoted decades of engineering and research effort into developing not only the best hardware for making the best Udon noodles but the best software – i.e. noodle recipes and production processes – as well.
The cutting edge technologies and know-hows these Udon noodle making hardware and software are based on, in their turn, are distinguished by one overarching leitmotif of earnest and full-hearted dedication to the authenticity of Udon quality.
Yes, the Udon we are talking about is “machine-made” – however, in no way does this make it less genuine and traditional than hand-made varieties – from which Yamato draws its ultimate inspiration and insight.
While replicating traditional Udon properties and characteristics in machine production is not an easy task, it is nevertheless achievable, in certain cases demanding for dedicated technical solutions for particular stages of Udon production – such as dough pressing.

On May 12, 2023 join Yamato for a class to teach you how to make the best Udon in the world taking advantage of unique noodle making equipment and methods developed by Yamato – namely, the AFP6 dough pressing machine and ShinUchi Udon making machine.
… and a special bonus ONLY for viewers of the live broadcast (make sure to tune in to learn more!)
