According to the above configuration, the arrangement of the first bottom wall 290a and the second bottom wall 290b of the first upper container 242 can be easily changed according to the user's preference.

(Third Example)
A difference from the refrigerator 10 of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. In the refrigerator 10 of this embodiment, the structure of the first upper container 442 is different from that of the first upper container 42 of the first embodiment. Note that FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a state in which the first upper container 442 of FIG. 11 is inverted in the front-rear direction.

As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the first upper container 442 includes a bottom wall 490, a first side wall 92, a second side wall 94, a third side wall 96, a fourth side wall 98, and a dividing wall 500. , Is equipped. In this embodiment, the bottom wall 490 is flush with each other. The dividing wall 500 extends from the first central portion 92a of the first side wall 92 to the second central portion 94a of the second side wall 94. At the connecting portion 510a of the dividing wall 500 and the first side wall 92, the position of the upper end of the dividing wall 500 and the position of the upper end of the first central portion 92a of the first side wall 92 are the same. Further, in the connecting portion 510b of the dividing wall 500 and the second side wall 94, the position of the upper end of the dividing wall 500 and the position of the upper end of the second central portion 94a of the second side wall 94 are the same. The height of the dividing wall 500 is constant in the front-rear direction. The dividing wall 500 divides the accommodating area in the first upper container 442 into a first accommodating area R31 on the fourth side wall 98 side and a second accommodating area R32 on the third side wall 96 side. The left-right length of the first accommodation area R31 is smaller than the left-right length of the second accommodation area R32. Therefore, the volume of the first accommodating region R31 is smaller than the volume of the second accommodating region R32. In FIG. 11, which shows the first mounting state, the first accommodating area R31 is arranged on the right side, and the second accommodating area R32 is arranged on the left side. On the other hand, in FIG. 12, which shows the second mounting state, the second accommodating area R32 is arranged on the right side, and the first accommodating area R31 is arranged on the left side.

According to the above configuration, the arrangement of the first accommodation area R31 and the second accommodation area R32 defined by the dividing wall 500 can be easily changed according to the preference of the user.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11, in the connecting portion 510a, the position of the upper end of the dividing wall 500 and the position of the upper end of the first central portion 92a of the first side wall 92 are the same. If the position of the upper end of the dividing wall 500 is located above the position of the upper end of the first central portion 92a of the first side wall 92 in the vertical direction, when the food material is stored in the first upper container 442. In addition, there is a possibility that the user's finger or the like may get caught in the dividing wall 500. Further, if the position of the upper end of the dividing wall 500 is lower than the position of the upper end of the first central portion 92a of the first side wall 92, the food material stored in the first storage area R31 is determined. It becomes easy to move unintentionally to the second accommodating area R32. According to the above configuration, when the food material is stored in the first upper container 442, it is possible to prevent the user's finger or the like from being caught in the dividing wall 500, and the food is stored in the first storage area R31. It is possible to prevent the food material from unintentionally moving to the second storage area R32.
