In the noodle container according to the present invention, an inner plate having an opening is arranged on the upper part of the container body into which the noodle soup is put, and a partition plate for closing the opening is removably mounted on the inner plate. With the configuration, the noodles can be placed on the middle plate and the partition plate without being immersed in the noodle soup. Therefore, according to this noodle container, it is possible to prevent the noodles from extending in the noodle soup when they are not eaten immediately after being prepared.

Since the partition plate can be removed from the top of the middle plate, if the partition plate is pulled out laterally on the middle plate, the noodles placed thereon pass through the opening of the middle plate. Falls into the container body, that is, into the noodle soup, so that the noodles can be eaten.

The main body of the container may be formed in the same size as a normal noodles container. If the noodles are dropped from the inner plate into the main body of such a size, the container may be dropped. The distance is only a few cm at most. Therefore, when the noodles are dropped into the container body, it is possible to reliably prevent the noodle soup from splashing greatly.

As described above, the noodles are dropped into the container body by pulling out the partition plate in the horizontal direction.
The noodles can be eaten without touching the noodles, that is, the noodles can be immersed in the soup, so that the above-mentioned hygiene problem can be avoided.

The ingredients to be added to the noodles, such as char siu, boiled eggs and noodles for ramen, and chopped green onions for soba noodles in Japan, should be placed on the middle plate outside the partition plate. it can.

When the upper plate is arranged between the lid and the inner plate, a large tool such as a tempura,
Furthermore, a small amount of cooked rice, fried rice and the like can be stored, which is effective in responding to various menus. In particular, if it is a moist tool such as tempura,
It is possible to prevent the ingredients from being moistened by the steam from the noodle soup in the container body, and it is possible to provide an ingredient having a good texture.

If the middle plate is provided with a rotation restricting portion for restricting the rotation of the partition plate on the middle plate, the partition plate rotates while the noodle container is being transported. It is possible to prevent a part of the opening of the plate from opening, from which some noodles fall into the noodle soup.

Further, if the outer peripheral portion of the inner plate is formed so as to fit in a watertight state with the inner peripheral portion of the container main body, the noodle soup will come out when the container main body is tilted. It can be prevented from spilling out.

On the other hand, when the container body is formed of a foamed material, the heat retention of the noodle soup becomes high, so that the noodle soup can be eaten in a sufficiently hot state in ramen or the like. Conversely, in chilled Chinese food, noodle soup can be eaten in a sufficiently cold state.

When the lid is turned upside down and the lower part is combined with the upper end of the inner plate, and the upper part is combined with the lower end of the inner plate, the lid and the inner plate are stacked alternately high. It is possible to increase the working efficiency of noodle preparation and preparation before the noodles.
