A drain hole 3 communicating with the drain hole 3 is provided, and at least the vicinity of the drain hole 3 of the drain groove 2 is inclined downward toward the drain hole 3 side. By adopting such a configuration, even when a container such as a soft fresh fish with a squid like squid is placed on the bottom portion 1 where the upper surface of the container A is a solid surface, the liquid content from the fresh fish or The thawing liquid formed by melting ice for cooling the fresh fish flows into the drain 2 and can be smoothly drained from the downwardly inclined drain 2 to the drain hole 3.

A drain hole 3 is provided in the bottom portion 1 having a solid upper surface, and an upward projection 4 is provided on a part of the periphery of the upper opening edge of the drain hole 3 and an upward projection 4 is provided. The drain groove 2 communicating with the drain hole 3 is provided at a position avoiding the drain hole 3. With such a configuration, even when a container such as squid-like soft fresh fish or the like is placed on the solid bottom surface portion 1 of the container A, the container A is located at an upper position near the drain hole 3. The squid-like soft fresh fish is supported on the upward projections 4 without blocking the drain ditch 2 and the drain hole 3, and the liquid flowing out of the fresh fish and ice for cooling the fresh fish are provided. The thawing solution formed by melting can be smoothly drained from the drain groove 2 to the drain hole 3.

It is also preferable that a plurality of drain grooves 2 are arranged in a grid over substantially the entire area of the upper surface of the bottom portion 1 and drain holes 3 are formed at each intersection of the grid. With such a configuration, the liquid flows through the drainage groove 2 in a grid-like shape over substantially the entire area of the upper surface of the bottom surface portion 1 that has become a solid surface,
The water can be effectively drained from the drain groove 2 to the drain hole 3.
