The Macaroni Factory
Due to its resemblance to a Japanese rice granary, the Macaroni Factory was also referred to as the storehouse. According to Father de Rotz’s records, among other items the room held a machine imported from the West to produce both macaroni and other pasta; however, only a cast-iron cooking stove and pasta recipes devised by de Rotz remain today. The pasta produced in the Macaroni Factory seems to have been popular with foreigners living in Nagasaki, and they were probably the main customers.
