Description

  The present invention relates to a food decoration dish and a food decoration method for making foods such as dishes and desserts appear beautifully on a plate.

  As a method for making foods arranged on a table more beautiful at a party or the like, a method of irradiating light on foods placed on a plate is generally adopted. For desserts, hand-held fireworks were also served in the containers and served in order to give surprise.

  However, the method of simply irradiating food with light is not surprising. In addition, the method of adding fireworks can be surprising, but has the disadvantage of causing the fire alarm to malfunction due to smoke.

  On the other hand, there is a dish disclosed in Patent Document 1 as a dish that is devised on the dish itself on which food is to be placed to exhibit decorativeness. The dish disclosed in Patent Document 1 gives decoration to the dish itself by drawing a star mark or a floral pattern with a fluorescent paint in a predetermined range inside from the outer edge.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-175016

  However, although the dish disclosed in Patent Document 1 can give the decorativeness to the dish itself, it cannot give the decorativeness to the food to be placed on the dish. It is also difficult to give unexpectedness.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a food decoration dish and a method for decorating food that can give the food to be placed on the plate decorative and surprising.

  In the present invention, in order to solve this problem, a plate body, a fluorescent light emitter disposed on the bottom of the plate main body, and an upper side of the fluorescent light emitter, the inside of the plate main body is disposed in the fluorescent light emitter. A fluorescent light emitting liquid that self-lights when the fluorescent light emitters are mixed with each other, and accommodates the fluorescent light emitting liquid therein. The food decoration dish which was comprised from the container of the predetermined shape and the said partition was formed with the transparent or translucent transparent material which can permeate | transmit the light of the said fluorescent light-emitting body was employ | adopted.

  In addition, in order to partition the interior of the dish up and down inside the dish body, a transparent or translucent partition capable of transmitting light is arranged, and the bottom parts of the dish body located below the partition are mutually connected. The fluorescent light emitting liquid that self-emits by being mixed, and the fluorescent light emitter composed of a container having a predetermined shape that accommodates the fluorescent light emitting liquid therein are disposed, food is disposed on the upper surface of the partition, The food was decorated with a method for decorating the food with light from the fluorescent light emitter.

  According to the present invention, since the light emitted from the fluorescent light emitter is irradiated from the bottom side of the food, the prepared food can be beautifully decorated. In addition, since the fluorescent light emitter is arranged on the bottom side of the dish, the fluorescent light emitter is concealed by food or the like in the placed state, which can be surprising. In addition, since a fluorescent light emitting body that emits light as a light emitting body is used, a power source such as a battery is not necessary.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  1 to 4 show a food decoration dish according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The food decoration dish is composed of a dish body 1, a partition plate 2 that partitions the interior of the dish body 1 up and down, and a fluorescent light emitter 3 that is disposed at the bottom of the dish body 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the dish body 1 is a dish having a relatively deep depth. The inside of the plate body 1 is divided up and down by a partition plate 2 formed in a disk shape, and the lower side of the partition plate 2 serves as an arrangement portion 1A on which the fluorescent light emitters 3 are arranged. Each is configured as part 1B.

  The partition plate 2 is horizontally disposed on the upper side of the fluorescent light emitter 3 inside the dish body 1. In addition, the diameter of the partition plate 2 is formed in an appropriate dimension according to the size of the plate body 1 and the type of food to be served. In addition, the partition plate 2 is formed of a transparent or translucent member so that the light emitted from the fluorescent light emitter 3 can be irradiated to the food to be placed thereon. For example, an acrylic plate or a glass plate is used.

  In addition, the shape of the partition plate 2 is not limited to a disc shape, and a rectangular plate with four corners cut off obliquely, or a long and narrow rectangle in parallel inside the dish body 1 is used. A plurality of them may be used.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the fluorescent light emitter 3 is composed of a rod-shaped container and a fluorescent light-emitting liquid accommodated in the container. The container is formed of a translucent resin so that the light of the inner luminescent solution can be irradiated to the outside. The container is made of a flexible resin so that it can be easily bent. On the other hand, the fluorescent light-emitting liquid accommodated in this container is comprised from two types of liquids, and it is comprised so that it may light-emit by mixing mutually. The inner wall of the container is covered with a thin partition film, and one of the fluorescent luminescent liquid is accommodated between the partition film and the inner wall of the container, while the other fluorescent luminescent liquid is placed inside the partition film. Contained. That is, the two types of fluorescent light emitting liquids are separated by these partition films and accommodated inside the container. The partition film is easily broken when the container is curved. By forming the container into a ring shape by curving the container, the fluorescent light-emitting liquid inside is mixed with each other to emit light from the fluorescent light-emitting body 3. I am letting.

  The fluorescent light emitter 3 is provided with a main body 4 composed of a container and a fluorescent light emitting liquid, and a coupler 5 for connecting both ends of the main body 4 in the axial direction. The coupler 5 is a member in which a pair of cylindrical insertion portions 5a whose one end in the axial direction is opened and whose other end is closed are connected in series with the closed other ends being back to back. Each end portion of the fluorescent light emitter 3 is inserted into the insertion port of the insertion portion of the coupler 5 to form a ring shape.

  The fluorescent light emitter 3 is arranged at the bottom of the dish body 1 after being formed in a ring shape and emitting light.

  Thus, according to the constituted food decorating dish, the food 20 is served on the partition plate 2 (see FIG. 4). At this time, if the ice 21 or the like is placed around the food, the light of the fluorescent light emitter 3 can be diffusely reflected, and the decorativeness can be effectively improved.

  FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment.

  This food decoration dish also includes a dish body 1, a fluorescent light emitter 3 disposed on the bottom of the dish body 1, and a partition plate 2 that divides the interior of the dish body 1 up and down. Since these configurations are the same as those described in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given.

  The food decoration dish according to the second embodiment is provided with a masking sheet 6 disposed on the fluorescent light emitter 3. The masking sheet 6 is formed in a circular shape having a diameter substantially the same as the outer edge of the ring-shaped fluorescent light emitter 3 so as to conceal the fluorescent light emitter 3. This masking sheet 6 has a function of blocking the light emitted toward the top of the light emitted from the fluorescent light emitter 3. Thereby, it can be made to function as indirect illumination, and an atmosphere different from the first embodiment can be exhibited. Moreover, since the masking sheet 6 conceals the fluorescent light emitter 3, the fluorescent light emitter 3 does not directly enter the eyes, and unexpectedness can be exhibited.

  The masking sheet 6 is not only a sheet that can completely block the light emitted from the fluorescent light emitter 3, but also a semi-light-shielding sheet that allows the light from the fluorescent light emitter 3 to pass through a little. May be used.

  In the first and second embodiments described above, the case where the fluorescent light emitter 3 is arranged directly on the bottom of the main body has been described as an example. However, the bottom of the dish main body 1 has a reflective sheet shape such as an aluminum foil. These members may be laid and the fluorescent body 3 may be disposed thereon.

  FIG. 6 shows a food decoration dish according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

  The basic structure of this food decoration dish is the same as that of the above two embodiments. The dish main body 1, the fluorescent light emitter 3 disposed on the bottom of the dish main body 1, and the inside of the dish main body 1 are arranged up and down. A partition plate 2 is provided. In the food decoration dish according to the third embodiment, an installation device 15 for installing the fluorescent light emitter 3 at a desired position is disposed at the bottom of the dish body 1. The installation device 15 includes a base 16 formed in a disk shape and a plurality of stoppers 17 protruding from one side of the base 16. The stopper 17 is evenly arranged on the entire surface of the base 16 so that the entire surface of the installation device 15 can be used effectively. It should be noted that it is convenient to prepare several types of stoppers 17 having different densities provided on the base 16 so as to correspond to the types of fluorescent light emitters 3 to be installed. Further, in one installation device 15, the formation density of the stoppers 17 may be different for each position of the base 16. In the example shown in FIG. 6, stoppers 17 are formed at a relatively high density on the outer edge side of the base 16, while stoppers 17 are formed at a relatively low density at the center.

  If the installation device 15 configured as described above is arranged at the bottom of the plate body 1, a polygonal fluorescent light emitter such as a star shape or a rectangular shape can be installed in the center of the installation device 15, while the vicinity of the outer edge. It is possible to regularly arrange rod-like fluorescent light emitters. In the example shown in FIG. 6, a star-shaped fluorescent light emitter 10 is installed at the center, and the star-shaped fluorescent light emitter 10 is surrounded by a rod-shaped fluorescent light emitter 11 so that a hexagon is formed. doing. In addition, what is necessary is just to change suitably the kind of fluorescence light-emitting body arrange | positioned at the installation device 15 according to the kind of food to be arranged, and the arrangement position of food itself.
