Have been. As containers for storing these liquids, metal containers, plastic containers, wooden containers, and ceramic containers are widely used.

When a liquid is stored and used in these containers, air flows in from the outside as the amount of liquid in the container decreases. At this time, oxygen flows in. The incoming oxygen has a negative effect on the stored liquid. For example, when the liquid is edible oil, the edible oil is oxidatively degraded, thereby impairing the taste of the cooked food, and may accelerate the decay of the liquid in the container. Furthermore, mineral waters called “Mt.Fuji Water,” “Mt. Rokko Water” or “Tanigawadake Water” are gaining in popularity, and these mineral waters are also affected by oxygen and their tastes are affected. It is said to be damaged.

[0004] It has been proposed to use a pouch container in order to take out the liquid to be stored without contacting the air and ensure its flavor. For example, a liquid is filled and sealed in a deformable bag made of a plastic sheet or a plastic sheet laminated with aluminum foil, and this is put into a paper container such as a cardboard for use. The form is taken. At this time, the liquid is sealed, so if you use it up, you will end your mission. Therefore, it is preferable that the liquid storage part is housed in a container in a state of being integrated with the faucet. From this viewpoint, it is convenient to use a paper container made of cardboard as the container of the liquid storage unit.
