FUKUOKA —

Fuji Seiki, the pioneer of the automated “onigiri” rice ball machine in Japan, has developed a compact pasta maker, the MPIM-2500, that can now be used to make pasta in retail outlets such as Italian restaurants.

Compared to dry pasta, fresh pasta takes flavor to an entirely different level and can be made instantly with this compact pasta maker. The new machine features an extrusion nozzle that can be easily replaced to produce different kinds of pasta such as spaghetti, penne pasta, and fettuccine.

The pasta maker is so easy to use that homemade pasta can be made without any difficulty. Because the parts that contact food can be easily removed for washing, the MPIM-2500 pasta maker provides peace of mind from a hygiene perspective as well.
