  The present invention relates to a container for storing food or the like.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, foods eaten with sauce such as mekabu or natto are often sold with main contents such as mekabu or natto and sauce in separate containers or bags.

  That is, in most cases, a bag enclosing a saucer is put together in a container containing main contents and sold.

  A consumer who purchases such food will open the bag containing the sauce immediately before eating the main contents and eat it over the main contents.

  However, when a bag enclosing the main contents and dripping is put together in the container, a part of the main contents adheres to the bag containing the dripping.

  For this reason, when the bag enclosing the dripping is opened and applied to the main contents, there is a problem that a part of the main contents adheres to the hand of the consumer who touches the bag enclosing the dripping.

  In particular, when the main content contains a sticky substance, many consumers dislike it adhering to the hand, which has been a big problem.

  Furthermore, if a part of the main contents is attached to the bag in which the sagging is sealed, there is a problem that it is difficult to open the bag by slipping.

  In addition, there are containers that house the main contents in a separate container instead of putting together a bag containing the dripping, but such containers only take time to manufacture and enclose the contents. In addition, there is a problem that it is difficult to take out the bag or the main contents enclosing the sagging.

  In view of such circumstances, the present invention is a container for storing food to be eaten with sauce such as shark and natto, while keeping the bag containing the main contents and sauce such as shark and natto in a non-contact manner. An object of the present invention is to provide a container in which an enclosed bag or main contents can be easily taken out.
