Furudate Noodles Factory, Established in 1909: Our Commitments

 Only our factory survives today out of more than 10 noodles factories that formerly existed in Karumai. The other factories lost out to competition from giant noodle makers using cheaper imported raw materials.
Even today, we at Furudate Noodles Factory, which was established in 1909, are committed to using locally grown grain and stringently observing the natural drying method, while striving to revive the regional industry in a joint effort with local farmers.
