  However, the sushi nigiri 1 has the following problems.

  First, because the area where the sushi rice comes into contact with the left and right sushi grips 3 and 4 is too large, it is extremely difficult to separate the sushi rice from the left and right sushi grips 3 and 4 without breaking the shape of the sushi rice. It was the cause of spoiling the sex.

  Secondly, since the sushi gripping tool 1 pushes the sushi rice only from the horizontal direction through the left and right sushi gripping portions 3 and 4, the sushi rice can be secured in the horizontal direction. Because the lack of closeness of sushi rice in the direction, it lacked a sense of unity as a shari for nigiri sushi. For this reason, after making sushi using the sushi nigiri 1, it was necessary to re-grip again.

  The present invention was devised in view of the problems associated with such conventional sushi noodles, and provides a sushi noodle that enables efficient shaving without the extra work of re-gripping. The purpose is to do.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is configured to move up and down in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the pair of gripping parts are opposed to each other and biased in directions away from each other, and the pair of gripping parts are away from each other. A sushi nigiri that is capable of moving up and down from above the space formed by the pair of gripping portions, and wherein the holding portion is biased upward. Provide ingredients.

  In the sushi handgrip according to the present invention, for example, each of the pair of gripping portions is connected to each other at one end, and the other end is biased in a direction away from each other, and the holding portion is at the one end at the pair of the pair. It is preferable that the one end of the grip portion is connected to the one end and the other end is biased upward.

  The pair of gripping portions and the holding portion are preferably made of an elastic body.

  The sushi handgrip according to the present invention interferes with at least one of the pair of gripping portions when the restraining portion is lowered, and prevents further depression of the restraining portion. It is preferable to further have an interference part.

  The tip portions of the pair of gripping portions have an outwardly convex shape, and when the pair of gripping portions sandwich sushi rice between them, a shari for sushi is formed. Such a shape is preferable.

  At least one of the inner side surface of the tip portion of the pair of gripping portions and the inner side surface of the holding portion is subjected to processing (for example, embossing) for attenuating the frictional force with the sushi rice. Preferably it is.

  Since the conventional sushi nigiri 1 was to push sushi rice only from the horizontal direction through the left and right sushi gripping portions 3 and 4, the sushi rice in the horizontal direction could be secured, but the vertical direction Because of the lack of closeness of sushi rice in Japan, it lacked a sense of unity as a shari for nigiri sushi. For this reason, after making sushi using the sushi nigiri 1, it was necessary to re-grip again.

  On the other hand, according to the sushi gripping tool according to the present invention, the sushi rice can be pushed in from above by the holding portion formed to be movable up and down, so that unlike the conventional sushi gripping tool 1, Even in the direction, it is possible to harden sushi rice closely. For this reason, it is not necessary to carry out the extra work of re-gripping after making the shari by using the sushi noodle according to the present invention.

It is a perspective view at the time of seeing the sushi hand tool which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention from the downward direction. It is a top view at the time of seeing the conventional sushi nigiri from the upper part. FIG. 4 is a side view of the conventional sushi grip shown in FIG. 3. It is sectional drawing in the AA of FIG.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view when a sushi grip 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is viewed from above, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view when the sushi grip 100 is viewed from below.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the sushi grip 100 according to this embodiment includes a pair of gripping portions 110 </ b> A and 110 </ b> B and a holding portion 120.

  The pair of gripping portions 110A and 110B are connected to each other at one end and have a shape close to a U shape. The pair of gripping portions 110A and 110B is made of a material having elasticity, and therefore, the other ends of the pair of gripping portions 110A and 110B can be rotated around the connected one ends. In a normal state, the other ends of the pair of gripping portions 110A and 110B are urged away from each other. That is, when the pair of gripping portions 110A and 110B are pushed by hand in the direction in which the other ends approach each other, the other ends come into contact with each other, and when released, the elasticity of the material constituting the pair of gripping portions 110A and 110B. Due to the force, the pair of gripping portions 110A and 110B are separated from each other up to the position shown in FIG.

  Shari forming portions 111A and 111B for making a sushi for nigiri sushi are formed at the tips of the pair of holding portions 110A and 110B, respectively.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, each of the shear forming portions 111 </ b> A and 111 </ b> B has an outwardly convex shape (or a concave shape toward the inner side), and this convex shape is a pair of the shear forming portions. 111A and 111B are shaped so that a handful of sushi is formed when sushi rice is sandwiched between them. That is, each of the shari-forming portions 111A and 111B has a recess that is equal in shape to a nigiri sushi shaving that is bisected in the longitudinal direction.

  In this specification, sushi rice refers to cooked rice before gripping, and shari refers to a lump of rice for nigiri sushi formed by gripping sushi rice.

  The inner surfaces of the pair of shaving forming portions 111A and 111B are embossed, and a large number of fine irregularities are formed. Similarly, the outer surfaces of the pair of shear forming portions 111A and 111B are also embossed, and a large number of fine irregularities are formed.

  The holding part 120 is connected to one end of each of the pair of gripping parts 110A and 110B at the base end, and the tip forms a free end.

  Similarly to the pair of gripping portions 110A and 110B, the holding portion 120 is also made of a material having an elastic force. Therefore, the holding portion 120 can be rotated around its base end. Specifically, while the pair of gripping portions 110A and 110B rotate in the horizontal plane, the holding portion 120 can rotate in the vertical plane.

  The suppression unit 120 is normally biased upward. That is, if the holding portion 120 is pushed downward by hand, the range from the upper side to the lower side of the pair of holding portions 110A and 110B is rotated, and if the hand is released, the elastic force of the material constituting the holding portion 120 , Move up to the position shown in FIG. 1 or FIG.

  The holding part 120 has a hand part 121 simulating the shape of a hand at its tip.

  In the normal state, the hand portion 121 is positioned above the space formed between the pair of gripping portions 110A and 110B in the normal state (the state shown in FIG. 1).

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 2, the inner surface of the hand part 121 is embossed, and a lot of fine irregularities are formed.

  The sushi handful 100 according to this embodiment having the above structure is used as follows.

  First, in a state where the pair of gripping portions 110A and 110B and the holding portion 120 are maintained in a normal state (the state shown in FIG. 1), the sushi nigiri 100 is inserted into the sushi rice.

  Next, for example, the pair of shear forming portions 111 </ b> A and 111 </ b> B are pushed in a direction approaching each other with the middle finger and the thumb.

  At the same time as or after the pair of shear forming portions 111A and 111B are pushed in a direction approaching each other, the holding portion 120 is moved downward.

  Thereby, a lump of sushi rice is sandwiched between the pair of shari-forming portions 111A and 111B and the holding portion 120, and the sushi rice is pushed in from both sides by the pair of shari-forming portions 111A and 111B. It is pushed in from the upper side.

  As it is, lift the sushi rice and place the sushi rice on another flat place with the sushi rice sandwiched between the sushi grips 100.

  Thereafter, the sushi rice is pushed in from both sides through the pair of shari forming portions 111A and 111B, and further the sushi rice is pushed in from the upper side through the holding portion 120, thereby adjusting the shape of the sushi rice.

  If the pair of shari forming portions 111A and 111B and the holding portion 120 are separated from the sushi rice, a shari for nigiri sushi is completed.

  After adding wasabi to shari, put sushi material. Thereafter, if necessary, the shari is pushed again from both sides via the pair of shari forming portions 111A and 111B, and further the shari and sushi material are pushed from above via the restraining portion 120.

  In this way, nigiri sushi is completed.

  The sushi hand tool 100 according to this embodiment has the following effects.

  Since the conventional sushi nigiri 1 was to push sushi rice only from the horizontal direction through the left and right sushi gripping portions 3 and 4, the sushi rice in the horizontal direction could be secured, but the vertical direction Because of the lack of closeness of sushi rice in Japan, it lacked a sense of unity as a shari for nigiri sushi. For this reason, after making sushi using the sushi nigiri 1, it was necessary to re-grip again.

  On the other hand, according to the sushi nigiri 100 according to the present embodiment, the sushi rice can be pushed in from above by the restraining part 120. It is possible to harden the rice closely. For this reason, it is not necessary to carry out the extra work of gripping again after the shaving is made.

  The sushi nigiri 100 according to the present embodiment is not limited to the above structure, and various modifications are possible.

  For example, interference portions 112A and 112B are formed at longitudinal ends of the pair of shear forming portions 111A and 111B (ends on the side where the pair of gripping portions 110A and 110B are connected), respectively.

  The interference portions 112A and 112B extend from the longitudinal ends of the pair of shari forming portions 111A and 111B toward the inside of the sushi noodle 100. The interference portions 112A and 112B interfere with the restraining portion 120 when the restraining portion 120 moves down, and prevent further downward movement of the restraining portion 120. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the sushi rice sandwiched between the pair of shari forming portions 111 </ b> A and 111 </ b> B from being pushed more than necessary by the restraining portion 120 from above.

  In the sushi handgrip 100 according to the present embodiment, in order to ensure the urging force of the pair of gripping portions 110A and 110B and the holding portion 120, they are made of a material having an elastic force. By providing springs (such as spiral springs) at the base ends of the portions 110A and 110B and the holding portion 120, it is possible to ensure the urging force of the pair of gripping portions 110A and 110B and the holding portion 120.

  In the sushi handgrip 100 according to the present embodiment, the base ends of the pair of gripping portions 110A and 110B and the holding portion 120 are connected to each other at one place, but such a configuration is not necessarily required. Absent. For example, it is possible to position the proximal end of the holding portion 120 in front of the proximal ends of the pair of gripping portions 110A and 110B.

  Further, the inner surfaces of the pair of gripping portions 110A and 110B and the holding portion 120 can be left flat without being embossed. Alternatively, instead of embossing, it is also possible to perform a process that reduces the frictional force with the sushi rice. For example, a sheet that attenuates the frictional force can be attached to each inner surface of the pair of gripping portions 110A and 110B and the holding portion 120.
