Reason 1: Kneading with a focus on firmness and texture

The flour, water, and salt are mixed together and the dough is kneaded. This is such an important process that it is even possible to predict the final result of the udon. The amount of water added is particularly testament to the experience of the craftsman, and the amount is finely adjusted based on various factors such as the weather, climate, humidity, the condition of the flour, and the temperature of the water. Furthermore, at Mori Seimen, the dough is kneaded in two stages: a strong kneading process and a gentle kneading process. This allows the firmness and texture of the udon to be at their best.

2. Long-term aging and reforging

Using Shimanto water makes a big difference in the speed of aging. By kneading with live water, the action of various microorganisms allows for a aging process that would be unthinkable with regular tap water. Depending on the temperature and humidity, the dough can reach maturity enough to make udon in as little as four hours. However, we deliberately control the temperature and let it rest for one to two days. By re-working the udon dough that has aged a little too much, and returning it to the perfect ripened state, an exquisite elasticity and flavor are created.

Step 3: Roll out the dough to the thickness of udon noodles

The udon dough that has been matured for a day and a night is gradually stretched to the thickness of the udon noodles, being careful not to destroy the gluten that gives the noodles their firmness. Mori Seimen's noodle dough is very elastic, and even with the same pressure it has a strong resilience and does not easily become thinner. Therefore, by passing the dough through the same stretching point twice with a certain amount of time between them, the udon dough can be stretched without stress as it has become accustomed to its thickness.

4. Cut with a traditional knife

Usually, noodle factories that make a lot of udon use a cutting blade, which is like a shredder, to cut the noodles, but at Mori Seimen we continue to use the traditional knife cutting method, which involves cutting each udon noodle individually. This method takes a lot of time and it is difficult to adjust the width of the noodles, but udon cut individually with a knife has sharp edges, a texture that bounces around in your mouth, and a different appearance.

Step 5: Blanch in Shimanto water and flash freeze

Mori Seimen specializes in frozen udon noodles. This is because we want you to enjoy delicious udon noodles that have absorbed plenty of water from the Shimanto River system. Udon noodles absorb a lot of water during the boiling process, and their moisture content reaches about 70%, so no matter how carefully you knead the water, if the boiling water is not of good quality, the flavor will be compromised. Mori Seimen uses water from the Shimanto River system for boiling, and delivers the noodles flash-frozen just after boiling.

6. Quality control through the eyes of craftsmen

Before delivery, we thoroughly check various aspects such as quality, gram weight, and whether there are any foreign objects. This is because the manufacturing is done by hand by artisans, not by full automation, so we can check for even the smallest foreign objects, and even things that cannot be called foreign objects at all. If you come to visit our workshop, you will be able to see the amazing "eye skills" of our artisans.

= Frequently Asked Questions =

What wheat do you use?

Mori Seimen's standard product is "100% Hokkaido wheat." The variety is "Kita Honami." This wheat brings out the chewy texture of domestic wheat, a smooth throat feel, and just the right amount of firmness. For OEM production, we will use the flour specified by the customer whenever possible.

Please tell me the price for one ball.

It depends on the type of udon, but for 200g of Shimanto udon, shipping and tax included, it will cost approximately 134 to 158 yen per bowl. You can purchase from the shopping cart. (Purchase in increments of 50 bowls.) For transactions of around 3,000 meals per month, we will provide a separate quote. Please feel free to contact us.

Where is your company located?

It is located in Shimanto City, Kochi Prefecture, in the southwestern part of Shikoku, where the Shimanto River flows. It is about two and a half hours from Kochi Airport.

Do you have noodles other than udon?

The noodles produced by Mori Seimen are "frozen udon." We do not produce ramen, soba, pasta, etc. This is to prevent contamination by avoiding the inclusion of allergens from noodle ingredients other than wheat.

How much original udon do you need to produce?

It depends on what the original is. If you are only changing the weight of the udon noodles we produce, we can do so in units of one case (up to 20 kg in total). If you want to change the thickness or length, you can do so using the same amount. When using specified flour or kneading something into the flour, the minimum lot size is the amount that can be made with 25 kg of flour. Please contact us if you have any other questions.

Representative Director of Mori Seimen Co., Ltd. Hitoshi Mori

I started my udon manufacturing business in the summer of 2000.

Before that, I worked in the business of introducing and selling local specialties.
I ended up making udon noodles by chance, and at first it was really hard work. However, as I listened to the stories of various customers and restaurants, I began to feel a gap in people's awareness of udon.

Many customers want to eat the tastiest udon, even if it means traveling far away or paying for shipping, but it seemed to me that many restaurants were treating it rather carelessly, saying things like, "It's fine as long as we can get udon as cheaply as possible," or "Udon with a chewy texture is Sanuki udon."

So, with the desire to be able to provide restaurants with udon noodles that they can make themselves that are truly delicious and that will please their customers, we began full-scale production and sales of commercial-use frozen udon noodles.

In addition, based on our experience and examples gained from working with over 1,000 restaurants, we also provide advice and consulting to those who are planning to open an udon restaurant, those considering changing their business model, and those considering expanding into multiple stores.

Mori Seimen makes udon noodles in an environment surrounded by nature. We work hard day and night to make delicious udon noodles for people all over the country. Please try our delicious udon noodles made with water from the Shimanto River system.

We hope to be able to provide food and service that pleases as many people as possible.
