Where It All Happens
Crafted in the Heart of Tsugaru
Our manufacturing facility in Hirakawa City, Aomori is located at the heart of the Tsugaru Plain — one of Japan's most fertile agricultural regions. Surrounded by the clear, cool air flowing from the Shirakami Mountains, we produce every noodle that bears the Takasago name.
Our factory is equipped with advanced noodle production lines, originally installed during our relocation to Hirakawa in 1989 and continuously upgraded since. These include dedicated lines for Long-Life (LL) noodles, boiled noodles, and semi-dried noodles.
Each production batch is overseen by our team of 18 nationally certified noodle technicians — among the highest qualifications in Japan — ensuring uncompromising quality at every stage.
Long-Life (LL) Noodle Technology
Our proprietary LL noodle process enables up to 100 days of room-temperature shelf life without compromising the fresh, silky texture of premium Japanese noodles. No cold chain required — ideal for international distribution.
Super High-Hydration Method
Our patented "super high-hydration" noodle technique uses significantly more water than conventional methods, creating an exceptionally moist, chewy, and springy texture — the signature of Takasago noodles.
Rigorous Food Safety Standards
In 2002, we received the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Award for Outstanding Food Sanitation Facility — Japan's highest recognition for food safety excellence. We continue to uphold these standards in our operations every day.
