Udon Vending machines have attracted attention because they can be purchased with low price and without contact with people

The restaurant is still in a difficult situation due to the new coronavirus, and the udon restaurant in Kagawa is no exception. Udon sales seem to be strong in such unexpected places. The udon vending machine was installed by a self-made udon shop in Takamatsu City, Yurakuya, in September 2019. Udon and soup are contained in an octagonal container that is about the size of a 500 mm can.

"It was made before Corona, but it can be sold at vending machines just like this era, and you can buy udon without contacting people and take it home. We are really satisfied because the customer response was good. It is said that the number of customers at udon stores has dropped by about 20% to 30% compared to before the impact of the new corona, but vending machines have attracted attention because they can be purchased without contact with people, and in many months. It means that it is doing well, such as selling about 100 bottles.

"It takes two days from manufacturing to shipping when udon is served. So that the noodles are aged in the aging room overnight."

"This is a size that is easy for customers to bring, so we have orders from golf courses in Hokkaido, Hyogo prefecture, and Yamagata prefecture. Customers. If you want such a product, I would like to add (type). "
