2. Description of the Related Art Most lunches and other foods sold at convenience stores are in containers. These containers for food in containers are composed of a trough-shaped container and a lid placed on the container as represented by a lunch box, and the container and the lid are made of a thin synthetic resin plate. By using such a container and lid made of a synthetic resin plate, it is possible to provide a compact food product that is easy to treat after use.

[0003]

In the case of a food container such as a lunch box, it is possible to open the lid and then use a chopstick to eat the food as it is. However, in the case of food that stirs and eats foodstuffs stored in the container, since the container is flat, the foodstuffs easily overflow from the container when stirring the foodstuffs, and the foodstuffs are dropped. In addition, if stirred, the ingredients are disturbed, so that the appearance becomes inferior and the appetite may be impaired. In particular, in the case of foods in which a salad is put on top of pasta, it takes time and effort to sufficiently mix the noodle-like pasta, and even if the dressing is poured, it is not possible to uniformly dress the whole pasta.

As described above, in the conventional food in a container, when the food is stirred, the food overflows from the container, and the food cannot be uniformly wrapped by dressing or the like. In addition, when selling ingredients that are laminated on a food base such as a surface, it is better to separate the food base and the ingredients, so the purchaser should write the food with chopsticks and forks etc. This means that the ingredients are stirred and mixed and agitated, which tends to require time and effort before eating.

In view of the above, the present invention provides a method of shaking a container instead of stirring the ingredients so that the ingredients can be uniformly penetrated into the ingredients by dressing or the like, and the ingredients and ingredients can be reduced. It is an object of the present invention to provide a food in a container that can be mixed and stirred according to preference and a way of eating the food.
