Description

  The present invention relates to ice shaving ice used for shaving ice by shaving and shaved ice using the ice.

  As a conventional edible ice product, a part of edible fruit is cut and then frozen with water to prepare an ice block, and an ice block containing this fruit is used. By eating frozen fruit and ice together with tasteless and odorless ice, the acidity, flavor or flavor of the fruit can be obtained.

  For example, a method for producing an ice block obtained by mixing 10 parts of chopped natural pineapple fruit with fruit juice and freezing it is known (see Patent Document 1). This is a raw chopped piece 15 made by chopping 10 parts of a pineapple cylindrical or columnar natural fruit without removing the fruit core 3. Then, chopped pieces and 100% fruit juice of pineapple are mixed at a ratio of 1: 1 wt%, and the mixture is put in a container for commercial freezing and frozen to make a raw pineapple ice block.

  In addition, as a method of frozen processing of aloe leaf meat, it is known that aloe leaf meat cut into an appropriate size and cut into syrup is frozen or mixed with frozen confectionery such as shaved ice without being frozen ( For example, see Patent Document 2).

  However, in the conventional ice product, the position of the natural fruit of aloe or pineapple tends to be biased to one place or a plurality of places in the ice block. In this case, for example, when a plurality of cups of shaved ice are made from one ice block, an unfair feeling will occur due to the amount of natural fruit mixed in each cup. Moreover, it cannot be said that the block ice itself mixed with such natural fruits is good in appearance if the natural fruits visible from the outside are in a biased position.

Since ice products such as shaved ice using ice blocks are often sold on the street or in stores, unfairness or appearance problems due to the bias of these natural fruits have a large impact on the sales volume.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide ice cutting ice that has no unfairness and is excellent in appearance, and shaved ice using the same, by suppressing the deviation of the position of the natural plant pieces.

In order to solve the above problems, the following means (1) to (6) are adopted.
(1) The ice cutting ice according to the present invention includes a plant piece-containing layer (most part of the plant piece frozen layer 1) frozen by including a plurality of natural plant pieces 10 in one laminated surface, and the natural plant piece 10 Is formed by alternately laminating ice single layers (most of the water refrigeration layer 2) that do not contain in the laminating plane.

  If the manufacturing process is taken into consideration, the ice for ice cutting of the present invention is obtained by injecting a plurality of natural plant pieces 10 and water 20 together and freezing the plant piece frozen layer 1, and injecting only water and freezing. The water refrigeration layers 2 to be formed are alternately stacked.

  In such a case, an ice single layer is always interposed between the plurality of plant piece-containing layers, and the natural plant pieces 10 are uniformly distributed in the stacking direction D over the ice cutting ice by the ice single layer. It becomes what is distributed, and the bias | inclination of the position of the natural plant piece 10 can be suppressed efficiently. Moreover, since the several plant piece containing layer 1 provided at large distance can be visually recognized from the exterior of the whole ice, it is excellent in appearance, it is easy to appetite, and it is easy to appeal to aesthetics.

  (2) In the ice cutting ice, the ice single layer is preferably composed of water 20 containing no sugar.

  In consideration of the manufacturing process, in the ice cutting ice, at least the latter or preferably both of the water 20 used by being injected in the plant piece frozen layer 1 and the water 20 used in the water frozen layer 2 are used. It consists of water 20 without sugars.

  If it is such, it will become the ice cutting ice which looks comparatively little in whitening at the time of freezing, and becomes an ice single layer with high transparency, and looks good by the high visibility of each plant piece content layer.

  (3) In the ice cutting ice, each of the ice single layers has an ice single layer thickness within a predetermined range, and preferably constitutes the outermost portions 21 on both sides of the ice cutting ice.

  If the manufacturing process is taken into consideration, in the ice cutting ice, formation of the water refrigeration layer 2 for freezing by injecting only water at the beginning or at the end in the deep container 41 or the shallow container 42 to be stored and frozen. By incorporating the process, the water frozen layer 2 is formed in the lowermost layer or the uppermost layer.

  In such a case, a plurality of plant piece-containing layers 1 are provided at regular intervals within a predetermined range, and all of them are located inside the ice cutting ice, and a transparent ice single layer is formed. It becomes more excellent in appearance by being visually recognized.

  Further, the plurality of frozen natural plant pieces 10 constituting a part of the plant piece-containing layer has a higher viscosity than the ice constituting the ice alone layer, and has a low hardness, a low crystal density, and a low softening point. It is. For this reason, for example, if the ice of the portion where the natural plant pieces 10 are less concentrated like the conventional ice block is iced, the natural plant pieces 10 are softened and do not form a shaved ice ice crystal body. There were problems with the texture and texture of shaved ice after shaving. On the other hand, with the ice cutting ice having the above-described configuration, it is possible to secure at least the predetermined ice single layer thickness as the ice single layer that reliably constitutes the ice shaving crystal of oyster ice after ice cutting. The problem of texture and texture after icing due to excessive inclusion of natural plant pieces 10 is less likely to occur. Furthermore, since the outermost part 21 is composed of an ice single layer, the ice cutting ice can be relatively easily maintained in a form due to a change with time and a change in temperature.

  (4) In addition, in any one of the above-mentioned methods for producing ice cutting ice, a plurality of component layers composed of at least one of a plant piece-containing layer and an ice single layer or a plurality of layers are frozen to form a plurality. The frozen component layers are combined and stored together with water 20, and the plurality of stored component layers and water 20 are frozen.

  Here, in the case of a single layer, the component layer is either a plant piece-containing layer or an ice-only layer. In the manufacturing process, it is one layer of the plant piece frozen layer 1 or the water frozen layer 2. In the case of a plurality of layers, it means a plurality of layers including a plant piece-containing layer and an ice single layer. In the manufacturing process, it means a component layer formed by laminating the plant piece frozen layer 1 or the water frozen layer 2 in order and forming them in a frozen state.

  If it is such, it is not always necessary to freeze all the layers one by one in order, and for example, ice cutting ice can be obtained quickly by forming each component layer simultaneously. Alternatively, ice cutting ice having a shape or structure as required can be formed by combining a plurality of types of component layers.

  (5) Moreover, the shaved ice of the present invention is shaved ice obtained by surface-shaving the ice-shaving ice according to any one of the above in a certain ice-shaping direction B, comprising a plant piece-containing layer and an ice-only layer. The stacking direction D intersects with the ice cutting direction B.

  However, in the present invention, the ice cutting direction B is the direction toward the ice cutting surface as seen from the ice for ice cutting. For example, when the lower surface of the ice-cutting ice is the ice-cutting surface and the ice-cutting ice is cut by the ice-cutting blade facing upward, the ice-cutting direction B is a downward direction in which the ice-cutting ice is directed toward the ice-cutting surface.

  Such shaved ice is obtained by ice cutting in a state where the stacking direction D does not face the common direction with the ice cutting direction B, in other words, when the stacked surface P is not parallel to the ice cutting surface Bp in a front view as shown in FIG. It is done. In addition, the lamination surface P means here the surface which makes the lamination direction D a normal line.

  For example, the ice cutting ice is obtained by arranging the ice cutting ice in the horizontal direction (or including the horizontal direction component) on the horizontal ice cutting surface Bp by the surface ice cutting (FIG. 5 ( B) Refer to (b)). Since the stacking direction D intersects with the ice cutting direction B, only the ice single layer or only the plant piece containing layer is not iced, and the ice cutting surface Bp always includes both the ice single layer and the plant piece containing layer (a plurality of layers). Layer). The shaved ice produced in this way contains the plant piece-containing layer at a substantially uniform ratio, and the ice-cut crystals of the plant piece-containing layer spread almost uniformly without unevenness. This is not unfair and excellent in appearance.

  (6) In the shaved ice, the natural plant piece 10 is preferably a colored fruit. In addition, if at least a part or preferably all natural plant pieces 10 in the ice shaving ice are colored fruits, a part or preferably all of the natural plant pieces 10 of shaved ice obtained by ice shaving this are colored. Become fruit.

  If it is such, it will become the form which looks good in the ice single layer which has permeability | transmittance, or its ice-cut crystal | crystallization, and will become the thing excellent in appearance.

  The ice cutting ice of the present invention has no unfairness and excellent appearance by suppressing the uneven position of natural plant pieces. In addition, the shaved ice using this is also excellent in appearance.

  DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings illustrating the embodiments. 1 to 6 show the ice cutting ice of Example 1 and the shaved ice of Example 1 of the present invention. Of these, FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing the relationship between the ice cutting direction B and the stacking direction D of the ice cutting ice of the present invention, and FIG. 6 shows the shaved ice of the present invention obtained by the ice cutting ice of Example 1. It is an appearance photograph of one embodiment. 7 to 9 show ice cutting ice according to Example 2 of the present invention. 10 and 11 show ice cutting ices according to Examples 3 and 4 of the present invention, respectively.

  The ice cutting ice according to the present invention includes a plant piece frozen layer 1 formed by sprinkling a plurality of edible natural plant pieces 10 in an underwater laminated surface and simultaneously freezing the raw natural plant pieces 10 and water 20. In the upper and lower layers of the plant fragment frozen layer 1, only water 20 (that is, the water frozen layer 2 that is frozen by injecting only the water 20 without sprinkling the raw natural plant fragments 10) is alternately placed. They are stacked (Fig. 1 etc.). Thereby, most of the plant piece frozen layer 1 constitutes a plant piece containing layer that is frozen by including a plurality of natural plant pieces 10 in one laminated surface P. Further, most of the water frozen layer 2 constitutes an ice single layer that does not include the natural plant piece 10 in the laminated surface P.

  Further, the shaved ice of the present invention is obtained by surface-shaving one of the above ice-shaving ices in a constant ice-shaping direction B (see FIGS. 3 and 5). This shaved ice is preferably obtained by ice cutting in a state where the stacking direction D of the ice cutting ice intersects the ice cutting direction B (see FIG. 5).

(Ice cutting ice)
The ice cutting ice of Example 1 is formed by alternately layering two types of layers, a layer containing a natural plant piece 10 (plant piece-containing layer) and a layer not containing it (ice only layer), and integrating them by freezing. (FIG. 1). This is formed by alternately stacking the plant piece frozen layer 1 and the water frozen layer 2. More specifically, the outermost 21 water frozen layer 2 is formed outside the two plant piece frozen layers 1, and the intermediate portion 22 water frozen layer 2 is formed between the two plant piece frozen layers 1. The

  The overall shape of the ice for ice cutting is preferably a cube as in Example 1 because it is easy to turn during ice cutting and easy to handle after turning, but may be a cylinder, polygonal prism, or the like.

(Natural plant piece 10)
The natural plant piece 10 is frozen together with the water 20 soaked in the manufacturing process of the plant piece frozen layer 1 to constitute a plant piece containing layer. The frozen natural plant piece 10 has a higher viscosity than the ice constituting the ice single layer, and has a low hardness, a low crystal density, and a low softening point with respect to ease of scraping.

  As an example of the natural plant piece 10, plant leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits can be used. For example, in the case of fruits, in addition to strawberries that have been put together as in Examples 1 and 2 (FIGS. 1 to 9), lemons that have been cut into rings as in Example 3 (FIG. 10), and radial as in Example 4. Bundan (Fig. 11) that has been cut into pieces and peeled, citrus fruits such as yuzu, grapes, kiwifruit and the like. One kind of these may be used, or a plurality of kinds may be used. Fruits are also effectively used as second-class products. In addition, as listed, those having a sour taste are preferable as shaved ice and ice food.

  Also, varieties that do not contain seeds (hard seeds that are not edible), or those that do not require peeling are more preferable in terms of work. In addition, a relatively small grain like the strawberry of Example 1 is preferable so that the content of the natural plant piece 10 can be easily adjusted. This is because even if the sizes of the fruits are not uniform, the ratio with the water 20 can be easily adjusted, and it can be easily dispersed so as not to be biased in the laminated surface.

  In addition, the natural plant piece 10 is colored, and among them, when using a dark color with high chromaticity such as straw or straw, both ice cutting ice and shaved ice using this look good. This is preferable (see FIGS. 4 and 6). In the case of colored fruits, for example, if the outer surface is colored and the solid part is white, such as persimmon, the iced cross-section will be mixed with the colored outer surface and the white solid part during ice cutting. A gradation pattern that makes the outer surface thinner. This ice shaving cross-section and shaved ice by ice shaving are colorful and excellent in appearance, and can evoke aesthetics as well as appetite. For example, a strawberry fruit has a bright red outer surface, a pink inner side in the vicinity thereof, and a white solid part. As shown in FIG. 4, one cut surface (surface in the middle of cutting) of the ice cutting ice constitutes a fruit pattern with a gradation pattern that is excellent in aesthetics together with the transparent ice single layer 2.

  As the natural plant piece 10 to be used is smaller, the cut surface of the fruit is more beautiful, and the shape of the cross section of the fruit is less likely to be broken or bent while being easily sliced, and is preferable to be held in ice shaving. The small particles are, for example, those of S size or SS size of 10 g or less.

(Plant piece frozen layer 1, plant piece containing layer)
The plant piece frozen layer 1 has a plurality of natural plant pieces 10 dispersed uniformly on the laminated surface P, which is the surface of the frozen water frozen layer 2, and water 20 so as to have a predetermined plant piece freezing depth 1d. It is a layer formed by putting it in water 20 and freezing it. Since some of the plurality of natural plant pieces 10 are frozen in a state of floating from the water surface, among the plant piece-containing layer 1, the stacked surface group up to the most depth including the upper surface of the natural plant piece 10 is the plant piece-containing layer. (See FIG. 1).

  As in each embodiment, the natural plant piece 10 may be one type of ice cutting ice or one plant piece frozen layer 1, but may be a combination of a plurality of types. For example, a plurality of plant piece frozen layers 1 including different natural plant pieces 10 may be prepared, and the plurality of plant piece frozen layers 1 may be combined to constitute ice cutting ice. However, it is preferable that the plurality of natural plant pieces 10 included in one plant piece frozen layer 1 are of the same type, because the even sliced plant pieces 31 can be formed with the shaved ice 3.

(Water frozen layer 2, ice single layer)
The water freezing layer 2 is a layer formed by injecting only water 20 and freezing it. A portion of the water frozen layer 2 excluding the plant piece-containing layer that does not contain any plant pieces in the laminated surface P is an ice-only layer. The water frozen layer 2 is frozen by putting water 20 by a predetermined depth (a depth corresponding to the water frozen layer thickness 2d) on the lowermost layer or the laminated surface P which is the upper surface of the plant piece frozen layer 1. It will constitute (see FIG. 1). However, as described above, the top surface of the plant piece frozen layer 1 is frozen in a state where the natural plant piece 10 partially floats and jumps upward, and therefore, the laminate excluding the thickness of the protruding part of the natural plant piece 10. The plane P group constitutes an ice single layer.

  The water frozen layer thickness 2d is all within a predetermined range, specifically about 10 mm to 50 mm, preferably 20 mm to 40 mm. In the embodiment, the water refrigeration layer 2 also constitutes the outermost portions 21 (that is, the lowermost layer and the uppermost layer during freezing) on both sides of the ice cutting ice. Only the outermost water refrigeration layer thickness 2d is about 20 mm, which is approximately half of the other water refrigeration layer thickness 2d, and the other water refrigeration layer thicknesses 2d are all about 40 mm. In any case, by setting the thickness within such a predetermined range, the natural plant pieces 10 are mixed in the ice cutting ice and shaved ice uniformly and in an appropriate amount.

  Of the water 20 constituting the water frozen layer 2, at least the outermost 21 ice alone layer does not contain saccharides. Furthermore, it is preferable that all of the water 20 constituting the water frozen layer 2 does not contain saccharides. Specifically, it is preferable not to include polysaccharides (maltose, lactose, palatinose, etc.) composed of at least different kinds of saccharides, and preferably neither polysaccharides nor monosaccharides. Thereby, the trouble of the handling accompanying the melting demonstrated below and the problem of form retainability can be suppressed.

  Saccharides, especially polysaccharides (even more prominent ones such as maltose, lactose and palatinose which are difficult to crystallize) start to melt at a temperature lower than that of water 20 from the frozen state. Further, the frozen crystals have a low density and become linear frozen crystals that are whiter than water 20. For this reason, it is softer than the water 20 and easily collapses when ice shaving, making it difficult to obtain texture or texture as shaved ice. Even if it is partially obtained, it is easier to dissolve in a shorter time than water 20, and it is very difficult to maintain the form. In particular, since different types of polysaccharides can be dissolved in a gel or jam shape, the smoothness of shaved ice can be obtained by not containing at least different types of polysaccharides. As the water 20, deep sea water rich in minerals and the like can be used.

(Method of manufacturing ice cutting ice)
For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the ice cutting ice of Example 1 is manufactured using only a completed deep container 41 corresponding to all constituent layers of ice cutting ice. Specifically, by placing the water frozen layer 1 on the water frozen layer 2 in the deep container 41 and the plant piece frozen layer 2 on the water frozen layer 1 in order from the lower layer, respectively, The layers are stacked one by one along the stacking direction D. In addition, as in Example 2, a plurality of component layers may be formed in combination.

(Freezing method for each layer)
Each layer is frozen at a freezing temperature of about 0 ° C. to −15 ° C., preferably 0 ° C. to −10 ° C., more preferably about −3 ° C. to −5 ° C. When the temperature is lowered below −10 ° C., the ice freezes quickly, but the air is trapped in the layer, becomes white when frozen, lacks transparency, and becomes ice cutting ice slightly inferior in appearance and appearance. For example, in the case where the layers are laminated so as to have a layer thickness of about 40 mm within the laminated surface P of 150 mm square, they are frozen at about −10 ° C. over 2 to 3 hours. In Example 1, which is a total of five layers including two plant piece-containing layers including straw, the outermost portion 21 having a small layer thickness and easy to freeze is included, and ice for freezing can be obtained with a freezing time of about 10 hours in total. If the ice is slowly frozen over a total of 10 hours or more, more preferably a total of 34 hours or more, ice cutting ice with higher transparency can be obtained.

(Method of manufacturing shaved ice)
The shaved ice of the present invention is manufactured by, for example, surface ice cutting in the ice cutting direction B using an ice scraper S shown in FIG. The relationship between the ice cutting direction B and the stacking direction D is preferably the state shown in FIG. 5A or the state shown in FIG.

(Ice Sharpener S)
As shown in FIG. 3, the ice scraper S has a mounting table S ₂ for mounting ice cutting ice and discharging shaved ice from the lower hole, and fixing means for pressing and fixing the mounted ice cutting ice from above. S ₁ , rotary table S ₅ installed on the stage of mounting table S _{2 so} as to be capable of high-speed rotation, ice cutting blade S ₃ fitted and fixed on the upper surface of rotary table S ₅ , and ice for ice cutting Means S ₁ , rotary table S ₅ , ice cutting blade S _3, and protective side plate S ₄ that covers at least three sides of the mounting table S ₂ are provided. Protection plate S _4, if shall consist of the front portion and the plate with a see-through with three surfaces of the both side portions as shown in FIG. 3, can be safely view the ice-cutting state of the colorful ice-cutting glacial And performance can be added when selling live demonstrations on the street. In addition to this embodiment, the protective shroud S ₄ may be any one having only through property at least the front portion.

(Ice cutting direction B and stacking direction D, and ice cutting surface Bp and stacking surface P)
The shaved ice according to the present invention is obtained by ice cutting in a state in which the stacking direction D does not face the common direction with the ice cutting direction B, in other words, the stacked surface P is not parallel to the ice cutting surface Bp. It is preferable that the ice cutting surface Bp be arranged so that the stacking direction D of the ice cutting ice includes a horizontal component to cut the ice (see FIGS. 5A and 5B). For example, in (a) of FIG. 5, the ice cutting ice is arranged in such a manner that the stacking direction D of the ice cutting ice faces the horizontal direction, that is, the width direction, and the ice cutting direction B intersects the stacking direction D perpendicularly. . Further, in FIG. 5B, the ice cutting ice is arranged as the ice cutting direction B so that the stacking direction D of the ice cutting ice faces the oblique direction and intersects the lamination direction D obliquely. Since the stacking direction D intersects with the ice cutting direction B, only the ice single layer or only the plant piece containing layer is not iced, and the ice cutting surface Bp always includes both the ice single layer and the plant piece containing layer (a plurality of layers). Layer) is included (FIG. 5).

(Shaved ice 3)
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the shaved ice 3 of Example 1 of the present invention thus obtained is thinly sliced into the flesh which is a natural plant piece 10 having each color to become a sliced plant piece 31, and the fruit having the gradation pattern It is dispersed in the cutting ice while having a cross section, and has an excellent natural color aesthetic. Also, the ice-cutting glacial containing natural vegetable pieces 10 having a plurality of colors including dark as in Example 1, the streets remain enclosed in a protective shroud S ₄ with a see-through as shown in FIG. 3 Ice cutting makes it possible to sell a demonstration with excellent performance. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the shaved ice 3 obtained thereby has a gradation pattern of sliced plant pieces 31 and has excellent aesthetics.

  Further, when the water single layer becomes the ice chips 32 by cutting, the ice chips 32 made of the water 20 not containing sugar is excellent in crunch and shape retention, and holds the sliced plant pieces 31 softly. As a result, a unique texture can be obtained, and by eating over a colorless syrup obtained by boiling sucrose or the like, for example, natural sourness and sweetness can be combined to obtain a light taste. .

  In the ice cutting ice of Example 2, as shown in FIG. 7, the plant piece frozen layer 1 and the water frozen layer 2 are alternately laminated along the width direction which is one lamination direction D, and replenished between the respective layers. Layer 11 is formed. Further, another water refrigeration layer 2 having a thickness in a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction D is formed as the water refrigeration layer 2 of the head 23. The head portion 23 is a portion that is fixed by the fixing portion of the ice scraper.

Since the shaved ice 3 is made by having the head 23 like the ice cutting ice of the second embodiment, the stacking direction D is the width direction, and the pressing fixing portion to the fixing means S ₁ of the ice scraper S is provided. The water frozen layer 2 can be formed. Aqueous refrigerating 2 since less soluble than vegetable pieces refrigerating 1, can be a pressing and fixing of the fixing means S ₁ made more reliable. Further, by making the head portion 23 made of the water refrigeration layer 2 as a pressing and fixing portion of the ice scraper S, all the remaining portions that remain as the last pieces when the shaved ice 3 is formed from the ice shaving ice are completely removed. It can be formed by water 20. This is preferable because there is no residue of the natural plant piece 10 and the natural plant piece 10 can be used efficiently. Furthermore, since the stacking direction D is the width direction, the natural plant pieces 10 can be arranged evenly with respect to the ice shaving surface Bp, and the sliced plant pieces 31 can be formed with little bias.

  The ice cutting ice of Example 2 is manufactured through the following steps as shown in FIGS.

  First, as shown in FIG. 8, a component layer consisting of one layer or a plurality of layers in advance (in the plant piece frozen layer 1 in the second embodiment) by a shallow container 42 that is slightly smaller than the size corresponding to some of the constituent layers to be laminated. In addition, a plurality of single layers of each of the water frozen layers 2 are formed. Next, as shown in FIG. 9, the plurality of component layers are combined and accommodated in a complete deep container 41 corresponding to all the constituent layers, and water 20 is poured therein to freeze the whole. By doing so, the water refrigerating layer 2 of the head portion 23 is formed in a direction crossing the stacking direction D while connecting the respective layers.

  By performing the freezing formation of each layer for each component layer by the manufacturing method of Example 2, ice for ice cutting can be efficiently manufactured. Other configurations not specifically mentioned are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  In addition to the form as in the second embodiment, the shape and amount of the sliced plant pieces 31 of the shaved ice 3 and the arrangement direction (see FIG. 11 showing the fourth embodiment) can be variably adjusted depending on how the component layers are combined. The shaved ice 3 which has the slice plant piece 31 of the multiple types of natural plant piece 10 can also be obtained by combining the plant piece frozen layers 1 of the different natural plant pieces 10. For example, when combining natural plant pieces 10 having different collection times, by storing the frozen pieces of plant pieces 1 for each collection time, ice cutting ice combining different types of frozen pieces 1 of plant pieces can be easily obtained. Obtainable.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the ice for ice cutting of Example 3 is formed by alternately laminating the plant piece frozen layer 1 and the water frozen layer 2 including the natural plant piece 10 made of the sliced lemon. . This ice cutting ice is produced by the same production method as in Example 1. Other configurations not specifically mentioned are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  The ice cutting ice of Example 4 is formed by alternately stacking plant piece frozen layers 1 and water frozen layers 2 as shown in FIG. 11, and a plurality of plant piece frozen layers to be stacked. It is assumed that the arrangement direction of the natural plant pieces 10 is different between 1.

  Specifically, bundan (Fig. 11), which is a citrus fruit cut radially and peeled, is used as a natural plant piece 10, and a plurality of natural plant pieces 10 are arranged in a certain direction so as to be placed in each plant piece frozen layer 1. It is supposed to include. And in one plant piece frozen layer 1, the direction of the cut ends of the plural natural plant pieces 10 is the vertical direction, and in the other plant piece frozen layer 1, the cut direction is all in the horizontal direction. They are stacked so that By making the orientation of the plurality of natural plant pieces 10 different between the stacked plant piece frozen layers 1, the natural plant pieces 10 become the ice-cut surface Bp when ice cutting is performed in the ice cutting direction B intersecting with the stacking direction D. Appear evenly.

  This ice cutting ice is produced by the same production method as in Example 1. Other configurations not specifically mentioned are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  The ice cutting ice of the present invention can be used as shaved ice, edible ice products such as fried foods, and regular or irregular shaped ice used for maintaining the coldness of drinking water and other foods. In addition to edible foods, it can be used as a low-temperature holding function product or an object that gives a cool feeling.
