Noodle Machine

Handmade noodle-making machine

This is a noodle-making machine that reproduces the techniques of a professional who makes noodles by hand. It can produce noodles with a high water content (about 43 to 60 percent) and results in noodles with a firmer texture, thanks to the process of rolling out multiple layers of dough lengthwise and widthwise. The cutting process also faithfully reproduces the knife-cutting technique of noodle masters. Because the knife is rotated while cutting the flattened noodle dough, it creates noodles with a sharper square shape. The noodles will have a wonderful look and texture, and the chopping is just right to create a handmade texture.

Features

• The ultimate knead based on the same principles as hand-kneading
  When hand-kneading, it is important to perform “mixing” and “kneading” simultaneously at low speed. The two blades situated to the left and right replicate the same basic processes as hand-kneading, perfectly hydrating the dough and drawing out the gluten to achieve ultimate kneading perfection.
• Kneads and twists to replicate the “firmness of handmade noodles”
  The “firmness” synonymous with Sanuki udon comes from gluten, which produces strong viscosity when vertical and horizontal forces are applied to it. The wavy rollers create a kneading and twisting effect by applying force from all four directions while rotating the dough ball. This encourages gluten formation deep into the dough and results in a smooth dough surface.
• Sukashi-uchi faithfully reproduces the firmness of handmade noodles
  The secret behind Sanuki udon’s firmness is sukashi-uchi, the process by which the dough is rolled around a rolling pin and stretched out. In order to recreate this effect, the wavy rollers knead and twist the dough even more to further activate the mesh-like structure of the gluten while rolling it out thinly.
• Square-corner noodles that have a wonderful look and texture
  Masters of Japanese cuisine pull the knife toward themselves as they cut to make delicious sashimi without destroying the fibers. The same principle applies to noodles, which the blade cuts at an angle while gliding across the dough to produce noodles with sharply defined edges and a wonderful appearance and texture. Sanuki Menki is the first manufacturer in Japan to faithfully reproduce this technique with a noodle-making machine.
