Commercial pressure cooker for ramen shops & restaurants. High-pressure cooking delivers rich ramen broth and bone broth in half the time — and can be manufactured to ASME BPVC Section VIII standards for global export.
Meiwa Seisakusho, a Tenpos Group company, is a specialist maker of commercial pressure cookers (pressure stockpots) for ramen shops and restaurants — from new openings to multi-store chains — cutting broth prep time to about half with high-pressure cooking, produced in-house from drawing to finished unit and available ASME-compliant.
A commercial pressure cooker (pressure stockpot) is a large cooking vessel that uses high heat and pressure (about 120°C) to prepare ramen broth in a fraction of the usual time, built for ramen shops and professional kitchens.

Drawing on decades of stainless steel fabrication expertise, we build commercial kitchen equipment that prioritizes durability, safety, and ease of use.
High-pressure cooking crushes bones and extracts deep umami fast, significantly reducing labor and energy costs.
No stirring or straining. With the integrated emulsifier, even staff who are not experienced cooks can keep quality stable.
Full in-house production from blueprint to shipment. Food- and pharma-grade precision for commercial kitchens.
Choose based on your daily prep volume and operation scale. OEM and custom sizes available on request.
We handle everything in-house — from blueprint to laser cutting, welding, polishing, assembly, and post-delivery support. The same precision trusted in food and pharmaceutical industries.
Custom drawings to client specs. OEM and non-standard sizes welcome.
State-of-the-art equipment combined with skilled craftsmanship for precise fabrication.
100% inspection before shipment. Safety and quality are non-negotiable.
We can fabricate pressure cooker conforming to ASME BPVC Section VIII, Div. 1 — covering design, materials, fabrication, inspection, and testing requirements for unfired pressure vessels.
BPVC SEC. VIII DIV. 1We support welding procedure specifications and welder qualifications per ASME Section IX, full material traceability, and required data reports (U-1 Form) for certification stamp application.
SEC. IX WELDINGASME-compliant manufacturing is available for custom and OEM specifications beyond our standard four models. We will work with you to meet the regulatory requirements of your target export market.

We compared 10 key points — broth cooking time, cost, prep effort, broth concentration, and more. Please use it as a reference when choosing.
| Comparison | ① Conventional stockpot (open flame) | ② General commercial pressure cookers ※2 | ③ MEIWA Pressure Stockpot |
|---|---|---|---|
| Broth cooking time | About 8–12 hours | About 2–3 hours | About 2–2.5 hours (our own results) ※1 |
| Bone prep (genkotsu) | Cutting and crushing needed | Pre-cutting may be needed depending on the opening size | No cutting needed (add whole) |
| Bone softening & structural change | Bones stay hard | Softens to some degree | Softens until it breaks by hand (2 atm / 120°C) |
| Broth concentration (Brix) | Varies with reduction (around 6–8%) | Around 8–10% | Achieves high concentration up to 12%+ (two-stage pressurization) ※1 |
| Broth emulsification | Constant manual stirring needed | Manual stirring needed after heating | Automatic forced emulsification during extraction via a dedicated hose |
| Standardizing the prep process | Requires skilled experience for heat and stirring | Standardizable via timer control | Stable standardization via pressurization time and valve operation |
| Broth extraction | Tilt the pot and pour into a strainer | Mainly ladling from the top | Safe, automatic extraction via a bottom valve and dedicated hose |
| Gas consumption (utility cost) | Baseline (long high-heat cooking) | Reduced (shorter cooking time) | Greatly reduced (low-heat operation once target pressure is reached) ※1 |
| Bone waste disposal | Discarded with bones still bulky | Bone volume slightly reduced | Bones crumble finely, greatly reducing disposal volume |
| Safety devices & pressure control | Non-pressurized structure | Standard safety valve | Dual safety valves, pressure gauge, and depressurization mechanism as standard |
From no-bone-cutting, no-bone-crushing prep to forced emulsification via a dedicated hose, ultra-rich broth over 12% Brix, consistent taste without a skilled chef, lower gas bills (one 90L-model shop cut its monthly gas cost from ¥150,000 to ¥70,000), and an end to overnight prep and one-person operation — practical articles to rethink your ramen shop's food cost, labor, and prep time.
