Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for packaging hand-rolled sushi and cooked rice, which allows for the re-rolling of vinegared rice or cooked rice with seaweed that has been kept in a dry state through a film in one step. This is how it was done.

Traditional hand-rolled sushi is made by sandwiching the seaweed between moisture-proof films to keep it dry and crisp until the time of eating. It required a series of troublesome tasks to unravel the sandwich film, take out the seaweed, re-roll it into sushi and eat it, and it also required a flat surface to remove and roll the seaweed, which left problems.

Therefore, the present invention maintains the seaweed in a dry state until it is time to eat it, and further allows the operation of wrapping the seaweed at the time of eating to be performed with a single touch.

That is, the present invention is characterized in that vinegared rice is wrapped in a film, then wrapped in seaweed, and housed in an exterior body, and the seaweed can be wrapped around the vinegared rice by pulling out the film while it is housed in the exterior body.

More specifically, as shown in FIG.
Wrap a film 2 made of polypropylene or the like, with at least one end folded back and a pull-out tab 5 provided on at least one end, or oiled paper, etc., and the nori 3 wrapped on top of the film 2 moistened by the vinegared rice 1. Then, the film 2
After wrapping a piece of seaweed 3 large enough to wrap around the entire circumference of the film so that the tab 5 is exposed, place it in an exterior body 4 such as a molded container that accommodates the sushi roll with almost no room, and wrap the tab of the film. 5 is taken out of the container, and the outer edge other than the part sandwiching the knob part 5 is sealed by adhesive tape, heat sealing, fitting, etc.

As shown in FIG. 2, the exterior body 4 consists of two molded containers having a semicylindrical recess and an outer edge, and the two molded containers may be connected by a hinge. Further, it is preferable that the size of the semi-cylindrical recess is approximately the same size as the sushi roll to be accommodated, and that the sushi roll accommodated therein can be rotated slowly.

The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and when eating, the film 2 is pulled out by grasping the grip part 5, and the nori 3 and vinegared rice 1 are attached to it before eating, so it is necessary to pull out the film smoothly. So, for example, if you simply wrap the film around the entire circumference of the vinegared rice bowl, it will be very difficult to pull out the film.
Since this method lacks practicality, the film is provided with a folded portion so that the film can be easily peeled off from vinegared rice.Examples will be described below.

[Example 1] As shown in FIG.
It has a winding part 6 slightly longer than the circumference of the winding part 6, a folded part 7 connected to one end of the winding part 6, and a knob part 5 provided at the other end of the winding part 6. Folded part 7
The length ranges from the same length as the rolled part 6 to about 1/3 of the length of the rolled part 6, and it is sufficient to select the length that is easiest to pull out depending on the form and size (diameter) of the vinegared rice 1. Usually about 1/2 is preferable.

Further, the grip portion 5 is formed to have a length that allows it to be pinched and pulled from the joint portion of the exterior body 4 with fingers.

The film 2 as described above is wrapped around the vinegared rice 1 from the folded side with the folded part 7 inside as shown in FIG.
is wrapped around the entire circumference of the film so that the tab 5 of the film comes out, and this is housed in the exterior body 4 shown in FIG. 2, and the tab of the film is made to protrude outward from the joint of the exterior body. The exterior body is brought into close contact with the exterior body.

The exterior body 4 is made up of two containers each having a semicylindrical recess large enough to hold vinegared rice, the outer edges of which are connected by a hinge, as shown in FIG. are housed so that the tab 5 of the film is located on the outer edge opposite to the hinge, the two containers are put together with a lid, and the outer edges that are not sandwiched with seaweed are joined by heat sealing or the like. . At this time, the grip portion 5 of the film must protrude outward from the outer edge to the extent that it can be gripped with the fingers (see FIG. 5).

To eat the hand-rolled sushi packaged as described above, hold down the exterior body 4 and pull out the tab 5 of the film, and the film 2 will slide over the folded part 7 with the wrapped part 6 sequentially reversed. Since the peeling angle between the vinegared rice 1 and the film 2 is approximately 180 degrees, it can be easily pulled out, and as the film 2 is pulled out, the seaweed 3 adheres to the vinegared rice 1. film 2
When the winding part 6 and the folded part 7 are made the same length,
When pulling out the film 2, if the roll diameter of the vinegared rice 1 is large, the weight of the vinegared rice 1 may be applied to the film 2, making it difficult to pull it out smoothly. For example, if the folded part 7 is made 1/2 of the rolled part 6, at the beginning of the drawer, the part near the knob part 5 will peel off from the vinegared rice one by one, and at the same time the vinegared rice 1 itself will turn. Then, when the folded part 7 comes upward and the weight of the vinegared rice 1 is no longer applied, the rolled part 6 slides on the film of the folded part 7 and peels off smoothly so that the folded part is turned over. When the film is pulled out in this manner, seaweed adheres to the entire circumference of the vinegared rice, and then the exterior body is opened and the seaweed-wrapped sushi is taken out and eaten.

[Embodiment 2] As shown in FIG. 6, the film 12 has a winding part 16 that is slightly longer than the entire circumference of the vinegared rice, and a folded part 17 that extends from both ends of the winding part 16 and is folded back at one end above and below the winding part 16. 18 and a knob portion 15 provided at the tip of one folded portion 17, and has a substantially Z-shaped cross section. The folded portions 17 and 18 have approximately half the length of the wound portion 16, and extend to the center of the wound portion 16 and overlap. Furthermore, the grip portion 15 has a length such that when the device is housed in the exterior body, it protrudes outside the exterior body and can be pinched.

The above-mentioned film 2 is wrapped around the entire circumference of the cylindrical vinegared rice cake 1 with the folded part 18 without the grip part inside as shown in FIG. 7, and finally the folds of the film are overlapped to prevent moisture from coming from the vinegared rice.

Next, seaweed 3 is wrapped around the film so that the tab 15 of the film is exposed, and the film is housed in the exterior body 4, and the other outer edges that do not sandwich the tab are joined by heat sealing, adhesive tape, or the like.

When you pull out the tab when eating, the film 12 is doubled up with the winding part 16 and the folded part 18, so the film is sequentially reversed, and the peeling angle of the vinegared rice 1 and the film 12 is as large as 180 degrees, and the film is folded again. Since the comrades peel off while sliding, there is little resistance and it can be pulled out smoothly.

In this embodiment, when the pinch part is the center, the folded part 17 side first peels to the center of the rolled part 16, and then the folded part 18 side peels off from the vinegared rice.

It is also effective to sprinkle powder such as starch between the films or to apply embossing to improve the sliding between the films.

[Embodiment 3] As shown in FIG. 8, a winding part 26 slightly longer than the entire circumference of the vinegared rice is provided on the film 22, and folded parts 27 and 28 are connected to the winding part 26 from both ends to the center of the winding part 26. Folded in the same direction and overlapped, the two folded parts 27 and 28 have knob parts 25 and 25 at the ends.
are installed in succession.

The knob portions 25, 25 may be bonded together by heat sealing or the like.

The film 22 having a double T-shaped cross section as described above is wrapped around the vinegared rice 1 with the winding part 26 inside as shown in FIG. Avoid moisture.
Furthermore, wrap the seaweed 3 on top of the film 22, and wrap the seaweed 3
From the gap where both ends of
5 and 25 outside, and then housed in the exterior body 4, sandwiching the front knob parts 25 and 25 between the outer edges of the exterior body 4, and leaving the tips outside and not sandwiching the knob parts. The outer edges are joined with adhesive tape or the like.

When eating, hold down the exterior body and use the knob part 25,
When the film 25 is pulled, the folded portions 27 and 28 of the double film 22 are pulled, and accordingly, the wrapped portion 26 is sequentially reversed from both ends.
Since the film can be peeled off at a large peeling angle of almost 180 degrees relative to the vinegared rice, the film can be removed smoothly. If you remove the film 22, 3 seaweed becomes 1 vinegared rice
It sticks to the seaweed and the seaweed sushi is completed.

As described above, according to the packaging method of the present invention, it is possible to make seaweed-wrapped sushi with one touch by keeping the seaweed dry until it is time to eat it, and then pulling out the film at the time of eating, and then wrapping the film around vinegared rice. Because the film has a double structure with a folded part and a rolled part, when the outer film is pulled against the vinegared rice, the inner film is reversed and pulled, causing the vinegared rice to become sticky. On the other hand, it peels off at a large peeling angle of almost 180 degrees, so it can be pulled out smoothly with little resistance.

In addition, the vinegared rice and seaweed are kept in the outer packaging until it is time to eat, so it is hygienic.
