Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
An occupation responsible for the series of noodle-making processes for fresh udon, including kneading, rolling, cutting, and packaging, using wheat flour, water, and salt as raw materials.
Description
Fresh udon manufacturers mix wheat flour and salt water to knead the dough, mature it, roll and cut it using machines, shape it into products, and package them. They are responsible for operating and cleaning noodle-making machines, managing raw material inventory, conducting product quality inspections, and handling hygiene management tasks. The job involves prolonged standing and handling heavy objects, with shift work to maintain a stable production line. They ensure the stable supply of high-quality fresh udon by complying with strict hygiene standards and manufacturing protocols in food factories.
Future Outlook
Although domestic udon demand remains stable, automation and labor-saving measures in manufacturing processes are expected to advance. On the other hand, the value of manual quality control is likely to be reevaluated in sectors such as regional brands and high value-added products.
