TAISEI's New Stainless Steel Noodle Machines

For over 30 years, the TAISEI commercial noodle making machines have been a staple in the culinary industry. Recently, the Taisei Machinery Company, part of the Tempos Holdings Group and based in Osaka, Japan, announced that they will begin accepting pre-orders for stainless steel versions of their flagship noodle machines on July 7, 2026. As a response to the growing global interest in ramen, this launch promises enhanced hygiene and durability, essential for modern food production.

Rising Demand for In-House Noodle Production

The food service industry has faced ongoing challenges such as rising raw material costs and labor shortages. In this environment, transitioning to in-house noodle production can significantly reduce costs—up to about 30 yen per noodle, leading to annual savings of up to 900,000 yen. This makes the TAISEI machines a valuable investment for ramen shops aiming to cut costs. The machines' design features a vertical mixer-roller connection that allows even novice staff to produce high-quality noodles consistently.

As ramen's popularity continues to spread globally, we observe an increase in inquiries from individuals looking to establish ramen shops overseas. Consequently, TAISEI has introduced a stainless steel version with enhanced features to cater to this market, alongside a complete revamp of their official website.

Key Features of the TAISEI Stainless Steel Version

The new stainless steel models retain the same specifications and production capabilities as earlier models, with the upgrade to a more durable exterior. Here are the three key features of the new stainless version:

1. Rust Resistance: The stainless steel design resists corrosion, maintaining sanitary conditions over time, making it ideal for environments handling water and flour.

2. No Paint Flaking: A significant advantage of the stainless design is the absence of paint, eliminating the risk of foreign substances contaminating food, thus complying with strict hygiene standards, including HACCP regulations.

3. Long Lifespan: With superior durability compared to previous models, these machines are designed for longevity, ensuring reliability in high-demand settings.

Pricing and Specifications

The pricing for the stainless steel versions has yet to be announced. Interested parties can inquire through the official website’s contact form for detailed information on pricing and delivery times.

Comprehensive Website Revamp

In association with these new models, TAISEI has revamped its official website to better serve a global audience. The new site now includes English and traditional Chinese versions, responding to the increasing number of overseas inquiries. Features of the new website include:

• - English and traditional Chinese versions
• - A ramen terminology glossary with over 210 terms available in three languages
• - Practical columns on cost simulation for homemade noodles and business planning, presented in three languages
• - A detailed comparison of the three noodle machine models along with an FAQ section
• - Information on a free ramen school held monthly in Tokyo, Osaka, and Sapporo

The official website can be accessed at TAISEI Official Site.

Supporting Future Entrepreneurs through Free Ramen Schools

TAISEI’s partner, Kitchen Techno Inc., hosts free ramen schools monthly across Japan, providing valuable training for potential buyers and first-time users of the TAISEI machines. The one-day course covers essential aspects of noodle production, including handling moisture levels and testing noodle pairings with various broths, allowing budding ramen entrepreneurs to kickstart their operations without lengthy immersion in training. TAISEI supports Kitchen Techno's mission to educate and empower new ramen shop owners.
