Delicious noodles on your table☆ Mokuya Foods Co., Ltd., a Hamamatsu company founded 78 years ago
Mokuya Foods Co., Ltd. has been loved by locals for so long that when people think of udon, soba, and yakisoba noodles, they think of “Mokuya.”
It opened in 1946 (Showa 21) and this year marks its 78th anniversary.
In 2004, the company opened a directly managed store, “Mendokoro Mokuya,” across from the head office factory.
The udon served at our directly managed stores is made differently from the udon you can buy at supermarkets, and is made using the same recipe as when we first opened our store.
Because customers can enjoy the original flavor of the historic “Mokuya Udon” at a price that can only be found at a directly managed store, the store is crowded with so many fans that there are long lines every day.
Mokuya Foods’ strengths extend beyond udon noodles.
Fresh pasta accounts for 80% of their production and is sold at major pasta stores as well as at Kaldi Coffee Farm, where it is highly acclaimed for being “chewy and delicious.”
This month’s recommendation is Mokuya Foods Co., Ltd.
