  The pictogram die for food of the present invention is a die for punching out a sheet-like food, wherein the die is made of pictograms.

In the present invention, pictograms are illustration characters and are often used for e-mail, Internet bulletin boards, chats, etc. via mobile phones. In particular, emoticons that express expressions by combining characters and symbols are preferable because they can easily convey emotions and messages.
Hereinafter, the punching die for foods in which the punching die is made up of emoticons will be described in detail as an example.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the emoticon-extracting mold for ingredients of the present invention is based on a punching mold 1 (A to K) consisting of parts (parts) representing facial expressions such as facial contours, eyes, nose and mouth. Basically composed. These punch molds can be appropriately abstracted. Abstraction not only makes it easier to produce a die, but on the other hand, the expression becomes richer, the interest and depth increase, and the interest tends to be even higher.

  The punching die 1 is formed of a cylindrical body having a punching portion 1a at the lower end and a pressing portion 1b at the upper end. FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal section of the punching die 1 “I” on behalf of the punching die 1 (A to K). As shown in the plan view, a tapered cylindrical body that converges from the upper end pressing portion 1b to the lower end pressing portion 1a is preferable. By adopting such a shape, it is possible to hold the emoticon food material 2a that has been punched into the punched portion 1a at the lower end, and as a result, the emoticon food material 2a that has been punched into the sheet-like food material (punched out). 2 can be easily separated or moved.

If the punching die 1 has a thickness of about 0.5 to 1 mm, the lower end can be used as it is as the punched portion 1a. On the other hand, the upper end pressing portion for pressing with a finger may be painful depending on the food at this thickness, so the upper end pressing portion is a thick portion (for example, about 1.5 to 2 mm). It is preferable to do.
The length of the punching die 1 may be appropriately determined depending on the thickness of the food, but is usually preferably about 15 to 40 mm from the viewpoints of handleability and workability. The size of the punched portion of the punching die 1 may be appropriately determined in consideration of message creation, transmission, workability, decoration, and the like.

The emoticon food material 2a punched out by the punching die 1 of the present invention is normally held inside the vicinity of the punched portion 1a at the tip as shown in FIG. Accordingly, it is preferable that a pick for extruding the punched emoticon food 2a from the punching die 1 is provided as a set.
Such a pick may be a rod-shaped body. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, it is preferable to use one end that is thin and the other end that is thick because the narrower one can be used for a small gap. In addition, it is convenient that a set of gripping tools such as U-shaped scissors for gripping the extruded letter food material and carrying it on the lunch box rice or cake.
