PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mass production method of knife-cut noodle having an approximately crescent-shaped cross section of noodle line with excellent texture, which allows a plurality of noodle lines to be stably cut at the same time.SOLUTION: Means includes: the dough stuffing step (1) of stuffing dough into a plurality of strip-shaped molds opened in a die plate and passing a part of the dough to the rear face of the die plate, and the blade sliding step (2) of sliding a blade along the mold on the rear face so as to cut the dough passed through the mold into noodle lines. Means further includes the position shifting step (3) of separating the mold and the dough every time after (1) and (2) and shifting the position for the next (1) to a position different from the position for the prior cutting in (2) so as to repeat (1), (2), and (3). Alternatively means includes an independent dough forming step of forming an independent dough for each of the molds prior to (1) and (2), so that the independent dough is passed through an introduction path having the strip-shaped mold as outlet and at least an opposing face extending to the long side of the strip as inner wall in one direction, having (1) and (2) in parallel.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】麺線の横断面が略三日月形を成し食感の優れた刀削麺を、複数の麺線を安定的に同時に削り出すことにより量産を可能にする。【解決手段】型板に複数開けられた短冊の型に生地を押し込み、該型板の裏面に生地の一部を通過させる(1)生地押し込み工程と、同裏面の型に沿って刀をスライドし、型を通過した生地を麺線に削り出す(2)刀摺動工程を有する手段や、(1)と(2)に続き、その都度、型と生地を引き離し、次の(1)が先の(2)で削り出した位置とは非同一の位置にずらす(3)位置ずらし工程を有し、(1)、(2)及び(3)を反復する手段や、(1)と(2)に先立ち、複数の型毎の独立生地を成形する独立生地成形工程を有し、(1)が、短冊の型を出口とし、少なくとも該短冊の長辺につながる対面を内壁とする導入路に、該独立生地を一方向に通過させ、(1)及び(2)を並行する手段。【選択図】図6
