Description

冷菓、冷菓製造方法および冷菓収容容器Frozen dessert, frozen dessert manufacturing method, and frozen dessert container
 本発明は、かき氷等の冷菓、該冷菓の製造方法、および該冷菓の収容容器に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a frozen dessert such as shaved ice, a method for producing the frozen dessert, and a container for the frozen dessert.
 かき氷等の冷菓は、製造された後、一般に-15℃ないし-20℃程度の低温環境で流通・保存される。しかし流通・保存過程において、例えば冷菓を収容した容器に振動が加わる等して、氷の切削等で得られた氷片同士が衝突等して氷片の表面が溶けると、この溶けた水分の再氷結によって氷片同士が接着して、粒状の氷塊へと変化する。氷塊はさらに周囲の氷片や他の氷塊と一体化して大きくなって、いわゆるスプーンの通りが悪いかき氷となってしまう。 After being manufactured, frozen confectionery such as shaved ice is generally distributed and stored in a low temperature environment of about -15 ° C to -20 ° C. However, during the distribution and storage process, for example, when the ice pieces obtained by cutting ice or the like collide with each other due to vibrations applied to the container containing the frozen dessert, the surface of the ice pieces melts. The ice pieces adhere to each other by re-freezing, and change into granular ice blocks. The ice block is further enlarged by integrating with the surrounding ice pieces and other ice blocks, and so-called spoons become bad shaved ice.
 例えば、作りたてのかき氷を充分冷えた容器に盛った直後では、個々の氷片の殆どが相互に接着していないため、かき氷にスプーンを容易に通すことができる。これがスプーンの通りのよさであり、スプーンを通すことで各氷片を容易に分離することができる。こうしたスプーンの通りのよいかき氷を食すると、各氷片がそれぞれ口の中で心地よく溶けて、かき氷独特の心地よい食感を味わうことができる。 For example, immediately after freshly prepared shaved ice is placed in a sufficiently cooled container, most of the individual ice pieces are not adhered to each other, so that a spoon can be easily passed through the shaved ice. This is the goodness of a spoon, and each piece of ice can be easily separated by passing it through a spoon. When you eat good shaved ice from the spoon, each piece of ice melts comfortably in your mouth, and you can enjoy the pleasant texture unique to shaved ice.
 一方、氷片同士が接着したかき氷にスプーンを通すということは、スプーンで氷塊を粉砕することになって、スプーンの通りが悪くなる。こうしたかき氷では、氷片ではなく氷塊を食することになるから、かき氷特有の食感を味わうことができない。 On the other hand, passing a spoon through shaved ice with pieces of ice bonded together causes the ice mass to be crushed with the spoon, resulting in poor passage of the spoon. Such shaved ice eats ice blocks rather than ice pieces, so you cannot taste the texture unique to shaved ice.
 このように、かき氷におけるスプーンの通りの良否は、かき氷の食感の良否と直結するため、かき氷の販売や流通の態様にも大きな影響を与えている。例えば、作りたてのかき氷を販売すれば、消費者においしいかき氷を提供できる。しかし、こうした販売態様では、多くの消費者に、手軽にいつでもどこでも、おいしいかき氷を味わってもらうことができない。そこで容器に入れたかき氷を製造して、これらを販売店に流通させることが考えられるが、流通および保存の過程において、氷片が氷塊になってしまうと、かき氷特有の食感が失われてしまう。 In this way, the quality of the shaved ice on the spoon is directly linked to the quality of the shaved ice texture, which greatly affects the manner of sales and distribution of the shaved ice. For example, selling freshly made shaved ice can provide delicious shaved ice to consumers. However, in this sales mode, many consumers cannot easily taste delicious shaved ice anytime and anywhere. Therefore, it is conceivable to manufacture shaved ice in a container and distribute it to dealers. However, if the ice pieces become ice blocks during the distribution and storage process, the texture unique to shaved ice will be lost. End up.
 そこで、氷の表面を薄片状に切削し、この氷片を不活性ガスとともに搬送して互いに接着しにくい状態で(スプーンの通りをよくした状態で)、容器本体に収容する技術が開発された(特許文献1)。 Therefore, a technology has been developed in which the surface of the ice is cut into thin pieces, and the ice pieces are transported together with an inert gas so that they are difficult to adhere to each other (with the passage of the spoon improved) and stored in the container body. (Patent Document 1).
 またエチルアルコールおよび糖類を組合せることにより、かき氷のようなサクサク感があり(スプーンの通りがよく)、口に含んだ時に氷がすばやく溶け、舌にべとつかず、味切れのよい、爽快な甘味を有するアルコール含有氷菓が開発された(特許文献2)。 In addition, the combination of ethyl alcohol and sugar provides a crispy crispy sensation (like a spoon), the ice melts quickly when put in the mouth, does not stick to the tongue, and tastes good and refreshing. Alcohol-containing ice confectionery having the following has been developed (Patent Document 2).

 しかしながら冷菓の製造において不活性ガスを用いることは、製造工程および製造設備が複雑になる等の理由から、コスト上昇を招くという問題がある。また、エチルアルコールおよび糖類を組合せる等の方法では、冷菓の組成に、本来望まない制限を課すこともあり得る(例えば冷菓にとってエチルアルコールを含有することが好ましくないこともあり得る)という問題がある。 However, the use of inert gas in the manufacture of frozen desserts has the problem of increasing costs due to the complexity of the manufacturing process and manufacturing equipment. Moreover, the method of combining ethyl alcohol and saccharides has a problem that it may impose an originally undesired restriction on the composition of frozen confectionery (for example, it may not be preferable for frozen confectionery to contain ethyl alcohol). is there.
 そこで本発明は、不活性ガスを使用せずに又冷菓の組成を限定せずに、スプーンの通りのよい状態を維持することができて、心地よい特有の食感を得ることができる冷菓と、該冷菓の製造方法、および冷菓の収容容器の実現を課題とするものである。 Therefore, the present invention, without using an inert gas or without limiting the composition of the frozen confectionery, can maintain a good state as a spoon, can obtain a pleasant unique texture, An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing the frozen confectionery and a container for the frozen confectionery.
 なお、本発明における氷とは、水を氷結したものにとどまらず、果汁等の食用に供することができるもの等を氷結したものも含むものである。また、氷片とは、氷を切削等して得ることができるものであり、かき氷における氷片はもとより、例えば氷を微細なスノーパウダーに粉砕したもの等を含むものである。 In addition, the ice in the present invention is not limited to water frozen, but also includes iced water that can be used for food such as fruit juice. Further, the ice pieces can be obtained by cutting ice or the like, and include not only ice pieces in shaved ice but also those obtained by pulverizing ice into fine snow powder, for example.
 上記課題を解決するために、本発明に係る冷菓(請求項1)は、有底収容部の内部空間をN個の仕切り部材によって(N+1)個の分割空間に仕切り、それぞれの分割空間に氷片を収容したものであり、また氷片を得るための氷の切削又は粉砕、有底収容部の複数の分割空間への氷片の収容、および氷片の収容完了後における有底収容部の閉塞を、いずれも氷点下の低温雰囲気中において行うものである。なお、この氷点下の低温雰囲気の実現方法としては、たとえば、液体窒素を雰囲気ガスとして用いることも可能である。 In order to solve the above-described problem, the frozen dessert according to the present invention (Claim 1) divides the internal space of the bottomed housing portion into (N + 1) divided spaces by N partition members, and ice is divided into each divided space. A piece containing ice pieces, cutting or crushing ice to obtain ice pieces, containing ice pieces in a plurality of divided spaces of the bottomed containing portion, and All the blockages are performed in a low-temperature atmosphere below freezing point. As a method for realizing the low-temperature atmosphere below freezing point, for example, liquid nitrogen can be used as the atmospheric gas.
 このように氷片を複数の分割空間に収容することで、有底収容部に収容された氷片の加重を各仕切り部材によって緩和できるから、氷片の間に形成された空隙が氷片の加重で収縮すること防いで空隙の断熱効果を維持できるため、氷片の表面が溶けて氷片同士が接着することを防止できる。かくしてスプーンの通りのよい冷菓が実現される。もし氷片の間の空隙が氷片等の加重で収縮すると、空隙による断熱効果が低減するとともに、氷片同士の接触面積が増大するから、氷片同士が接着しやすくなって、スプーンの通りが悪くなる。 Since the ice pieces are accommodated in the plurality of divided spaces in this way, the load of the ice pieces accommodated in the bottomed accommodating portion can be alleviated by each partition member, so that the gap formed between the ice pieces is the ice pieces. Since the heat insulation effect of the air gap can be maintained by preventing shrinkage due to the load, it is possible to prevent the ice pieces from melting and adhering to each other. Thus, a frozen dessert as good as a spoon is realized. If the gap between the ice pieces shrinks due to the load of ice pieces etc., the heat insulation effect due to the gap will be reduced and the contact area between the ice pieces will increase, making it easier for the ice pieces to adhere together, as in the spoon Becomes worse.
 なお氷片による加重とは、有底収容部の内部における氷片の静的な加重はもとより、冷菓の移動・運搬中等において、冷菓収容容器に加わった振動で生じる加速度が氷片に作用することで生じる力等を含むものである。ここで加速度と氷片との作用で生じる力は、氷片の重量に比例するから、氷片を仕切り部材で仕切られた複数の分割空間に収容することで、静的な加重、および振動と氷片との作用で生じる力を小さくできる。また蓋部による閉塞とは、冷菓収容容器を蓋部で閉塞する際に一般に求められる程度の閉塞である。 The load by ice pieces means that the acceleration caused by the vibration applied to the frozen dessert container acts on the ice pieces during the movement and transport of the frozen dessert as well as the static load of the ice pieces inside the bottomed container. It includes the force generated by. Here, the force generated by the action of the acceleration and the ice piece is proportional to the weight of the ice piece. By accommodating the ice piece in a plurality of divided spaces partitioned by the partition member, static load and vibration The force generated by the action with ice pieces can be reduced. Moreover, the blockage | closure by a cover part is a blockage of the grade generally calculated | required when the frozen confectionery container is closed with a cover part.
 本発明に係る冷菓(請求項2)は、氷を切削又は粉砕することで氷片を得て、複数の分割空間のそれぞれに氷片を収容したうえで、有底収容部を蓋部で閉塞するまでの低温雰囲気を摂氏マイナス15度以下の低温雰囲気としたものである。かかる低温雰囲気では、氷片はその性状を維持できるから、氷を切削等してから有底収容部を閉塞するまでの間に、氷片が溶けることを防止することができる。もちろん摂氏マイナス15度といった低温雰囲気中では、雰囲気中の水分が氷結して低湿度が維持されるから、氷片が水分で接着することを防ぐことができる。こうした状態で冷菓を流通・保存すれば、消費者にスプーンの通りのよい冷菓を提供することができる。 The frozen dessert according to the present invention (Claim 2) obtains ice pieces by cutting or crushing ice, and after containing the ice pieces in each of the plurality of divided spaces, the bottomed containing portion is closed with a lid portion. The low-temperature atmosphere until this is a low-temperature atmosphere of minus 15 degrees Celsius or less. In such a low-temperature atmosphere, the ice pieces can maintain their properties, so that the ice pieces can be prevented from melting after the ice is cut or the like until the bottomed container is closed. Of course, in a low temperature atmosphere of minus 15 degrees Celsius, the moisture in the atmosphere freezes and the low humidity is maintained, so that the ice pieces can be prevented from adhering with moisture. Distribution and storage of frozen confectionery in such a state can provide consumers with good frozen confectionery as per a spoon.
 本発明に係る冷菓(請求項3)は、仕切り部材を当該冷菓の保存温度において固形を維持することができる食材で形成して、該冷菓とともに食することができるようにしたものである。 The frozen confectionery according to the present invention (Claim 3) is such that the partition member is formed of a food material capable of maintaining a solid at the storage temperature of the frozen confectionery and can be eaten together with the frozen confectionery.
 例えば仕切り部材をチョコレートで形成すれば、該冷菓を食するとき、冷菓収容容器を開封し冷菓にスプーンを通すだけで、改めてチョコレートを外部から加えることなく氷片とチョコレートとを混合することができる。しかも仕切り部材でもあるチョコレートは、氷片と一緒に冷菓収容容器に収容されたものだから、氷片の温度を上昇させることもなく、収容時のスプーンの通りのよさを維持することができる。ここでチョコレートと氷片との配色を考慮して、ホワイトチョコレートを用いてもよく、さらに仕切り部材は、チョコレート以外の食材、例えば果汁等を凍結させたものであってもよい。 For example, if the partition member is made of chocolate, when eating the frozen confectionery, the ice confectionery container can be mixed without opening the frozen confectionery container and passing the spoon through the frozen confectionery without adding chocolate again from the outside. . And since the chocolate which is also a partition member was accommodated in the frozen dessert container together with the ice pieces, it is possible to maintain the goodness of the spoon at the time of accommodation without increasing the temperature of the ice pieces. Here, in consideration of the color scheme of chocolate and ice pieces, white chocolate may be used, and the partition member may be a product obtained by freezing food other than chocolate, such as fruit juice.
 ところで、該冷菓における仕切り部材は、有底収容部の分割空間をなるべく均等に仕切るものといえるので、仕切り部材が1つの場合には、有底収容部の分割空間は2つに仕切られ、仕切り部材がN個の場合には、仕切り部材の数Nに対し有底収容部の分割空間の数がN+1となる。しかし、仕切り部材を食材で形成することを考慮すると、仕切り部材の数Nと有底収容部の分割空間の数Nとを等しくすることで、氷片と混合するチョコレート等を増量することができる(最後に挿入される仕切り部材は、実質的には有底収容部の内部空間を仕切るものではなく、食材を付加するものといえる)。 By the way, the partition member in the frozen dessert can be said to partition the divided space of the bottomed storage portion as evenly as possible. Therefore, when there is one partition member, the divided space of the bottomed storage portion is divided into two parts. When the number of members is N, the number of divided spaces in the bottomed housing portion is N + 1 with respect to the number N of partition members. However, in consideration of forming the partition member with food, the number of the partition members and the number N of the divided spaces of the bottomed housing portion can be made equal to increase the amount of chocolate or the like mixed with the ice pieces. (It can be said that the partition member inserted last does not substantially partition the internal space of the bottomed housing portion but adds food).
 本発明に係る冷菓(請求項4)は、仕切り部材が、複数の連通孔を有して仕切り部材で画される分割空間を連通するようにしたものである。かかる仕切り部材を用いる冷菓では、有底収容部に仕切り部材を収容したのちに氷片を収容する際に、氷片は仕切り部材の連通孔を通過して、仕切り部材で仕切られた複数の分割空間に収容されるから、有底収容部への氷片の収容が容易である。 In the frozen dessert according to the present invention (Claim 4), the partition member has a plurality of communication holes and communicates with the divided space defined by the partition member. In the frozen dessert using such a partition member, when the ice piece is accommodated after the partition member is accommodated in the bottomed accommodating portion, the ice piece passes through the communication hole of the partition member and is divided into a plurality of divisions divided by the partition member. Since it is accommodated in the space, it is easy to accommodate the ice pieces in the bottomed accommodating portion.
 本発明に係る冷菓製造方法(請求項5)は、本発明に係る冷菓を製造するために、有底収容部の内部空間を(N+1)個の分割空間に仕切るためのN個の仕切り部材を有底収容部の内部空間に挿入する仕切り部材挿入工程の後に、氷点下の低温雰囲気中に維持されて、この低温雰囲気中において氷を切削又は粉砕して得た氷片を有底収容部に収容する収容工程を有し、そして氷片が有底収容部の(N+1)個の分割空間に収容された後に、引き続き低温雰囲気中において蓋部によって有底収容部を塞ぐ閉塞工程を有するものである。 In order to manufacture the frozen confectionery according to the present invention, the frozen confection manufacturing method according to the present invention includes N partition members for partitioning the internal space of the bottomed housing portion into (N + 1) divided spaces. After the partition member insertion step to be inserted into the inner space of the bottomed storage part, the ice pieces obtained by cutting or crushing ice in this low temperature atmosphere are stored in the bottomed storage part, maintained in a low temperature atmosphere below freezing. And a blockage step of subsequently closing the bottomed housing part with a lid in a low temperature atmosphere after the ice pieces are housed in the (N + 1) divided spaces of the bottomed housing part. .
 ここで仕切り部材は氷片を通過させることができる連通孔を有しているから、仕切り部材を挿入した後であっても、氷片を有底収容部に収容することで(収容工程)、有底収容部に所望量の氷片を収容することができるのである。 Here, since the partition member has a communication hole through which the ice piece can pass, even after the partition member is inserted, the ice piece is accommodated in the bottomed accommodating portion (accommodating step), A desired amount of ice pieces can be accommodated in the bottomed accommodating portion.
 なお仕切り部材挿入工程は、低温雰囲気中で行ってもよく、或いは常温環境下で行ってもよい。ただし常温環境下で仕切り部材を挿入したときには、氷片の収容に先立ち、有底収容部および仕切り部材を低温雰囲気中で冷却する必要がある。 The partition member inserting step may be performed in a low temperature atmosphere or in a room temperature environment. However, when the partition member is inserted in a room temperature environment, it is necessary to cool the bottomed storage portion and the partition member in a low temperature atmosphere prior to the storage of the ice pieces.
 本発明に係る冷菓製造方法(請求項6)は、本発明に係る冷菓を製造するために、有底収容部とこの有底収容部の開口部を塞ぐための蓋部とを有する冷菓収容容器の、有底収容部の内部空間をN個の仕切り部材で(N+1)個の分割空間に仕切って、これら分割空間に氷片を収容するものである。 A frozen confection manufacturing method according to the present invention (Claim 6) includes a bottomed storage portion and a lid for closing the opening of the bottomed storage portion in order to manufacture the frozen confectionery according to the present invention. The inner space of the bottomed housing portion is divided into (N + 1) divided spaces by N partition members, and ice pieces are accommodated in these divided spaces.
 該製造方法は、氷点下の低温雰囲気中における分割空間への氷片の収容と、仕切り部材の挿入を、氷片がN個の分割空間に収容されるまで繰り返す。つまり、低温雰囲気中において、氷片を分割空間ごとに収容し、この収容ごとに仕切り部材を挿入する。従って、仕切り部材は連通孔を有しても有しなくてもどちらでもよい。そして、さらに(N+1)個目の分割空間に氷片を収容する最終収容工程を経て、引き続き低温雰囲気中において有底収容部を蓋部で塞ぐのである。 The manufacturing method repeats the storage of ice pieces in the divided space in a low-temperature atmosphere below freezing point and the insertion of the partition member until the ice pieces are accommodated in the N divided spaces. That is, in a low temperature atmosphere, an ice piece is accommodated for every divided space, and a partition member is inserted for every accommodation. Therefore, the partition member may or may not have a communication hole. Then, through a final housing step of housing ice pieces in the (N + 1) th divided space, the bottomed housing portion is continuously closed with a lid in a low temperature atmosphere.
 本発明に係る冷菓製造方法(請求項7)は、氷片がN個の前記分割空間に収容されるまで、少なくとも1度は、氷片の収容に先立って仕切り部材を挿入するものである。例えば、氷片の最初の収容に先立って、最初の仕切り部材(氷片を通過させることができる連通孔を有する仕切り部材)を挿入し、しかる後、氷片の最初の収容を行う。この例では氷片の最初の収容に引き続き2回目の氷片の収容を行ってから、2つ目の仕切り部材を挿入する。こうすれば、氷片の最初の収容と2回目の収容とが連続して行うことができて、工程の簡略化及び時間短縮をすることができる。もちろん、最初に挿入された仕切り部材は、氷片が通過することができるものだから、氷片の収容が容易である。 In the frozen dessert manufacturing method according to the present invention (Claim 7), the partition member is inserted at least once before the ice pieces are accommodated until the ice pieces are accommodated in the N divided spaces. For example, the first partition member (the partition member having a communication hole through which the ice piece can pass) is inserted prior to the first accommodation of the ice piece, and then the ice piece is first accommodated. In this example, after the first ice piece is accommodated, the second ice piece is accommodated, and then the second partition member is inserted. In this way, the first and second storage of ice pieces can be performed continuously, and the process can be simplified and the time can be shortened. Of course, since the partition member inserted first can pass an ice piece, it is easy to accommodate the ice piece.
 しかるのち、2つ目の仕切り部材挿入を行ってから3つ目の分割空間に氷片を収容するのである。例えば仕切り部材が2つの場合であれば、これで氷片の収容が完了するから蓋部によって有底収容部を閉塞すればよい。 After that, after inserting the second partition member, the ice pieces are accommodated in the third divided space. For example, if the number of partition members is two, the storage of the ice pieces is completed, and the bottomed storage portion may be closed by the lid portion.
 本発明に係る冷菓製造方法(請求項8)では、少なくとも収容工程において、有底収容部に振動を与えることで、請求項5および7の冷菓製造方法においては、氷片が仕切り部材の連通孔を通過しやすくなり、また請求項5ないし7の冷菓製造方法においては、仕切り部材が画する分割空間内への氷片の収容を均一化できる。 In the frozen confection manufacturing method according to the present invention (Claim 8), at least in the accommodating step, the bottomed accommodating portion is vibrated, and in the frozen confection producing method according to Claims 5 and 7, the ice piece is the communication hole of the partition member. In the frozen dessert manufacturing method according to claims 5 to 7, the ice pieces can be uniformly accommodated in the divided space defined by the partition member.
 本発明に係る冷菓製造方法(請求項9)は、低温雰囲気をマイナス摂氏15度以下とするものである。こうした低温雰囲気中では、各氷片が互いに接着しにくく、スプーンの通りのよい冷菓を製造することができる。 The method for producing frozen desserts according to the present invention (Claim 9) is such that the low temperature atmosphere is minus 15 degrees Celsius or less. In such a low temperature atmosphere, it is difficult for the ice pieces to adhere to each other, and a frozen dessert as good as a spoon can be produced.
 本発明に係る冷菓収容容器(請求項10)は、有底収容部とこの有底収容部の開口部を塞ぐための蓋部とを有する冷菓収容容器であって、有底収容部は、その底部からその開口部に向けてその内部空間の断面積が増加するように形成されており、内部空間を複数に仕切るための仕切り部材を挿入することができるものである。 A frozen dessert container according to the present invention (Claim 10) is a frozen dessert container having a bottomed container and a lid for closing the opening of the bottomed container. It is formed so that the cross-sectional area of the internal space increases from the bottom toward the opening, and a partition member for partitioning the internal space into a plurality of parts can be inserted.
 ここで仕切り部材が1つの場合には、この仕切り部材が有底収容部の底部と開口部の間の1つの位置における内部空間の断面形状と略合同の形状を有していれば、この仕切り部材の挿入で内部空間を2つに仕切ることが可能となり、底部と開口部の間の位置を設定することで、仕切り部材が係止する位置を選択できる(2つに仕切る空間の容積比を選択できる)。 Here, when there is one partition member, if this partition member has substantially the same shape as the cross-sectional shape of the internal space at one position between the bottom and the opening of the bottomed housing portion, By inserting the member, the internal space can be divided into two, and by setting the position between the bottom and the opening, the position where the partition member is locked can be selected (the volume ratio of the space divided into two is Can be selected).
 仕切り部材が複数(例えばN個)の場合であっても同様であり、これらN個の仕切り部材は、底部と開口部の間のそれぞれ異なる位置(位置の数はN)における内部空間の断面形状と略合同の形状を有して、有底収容部の内部空間を(N+1)個に仕切ることができる(有底収容部の内部を所望の分割空間に仕切ることができる)。 The same applies to the case where there are a plurality of partition members (for example, N), and these N partition members are cross-sectional shapes of the internal space at different positions (the number of positions is N) between the bottom and the opening. The inner space of the bottomed housing part can be partitioned into (N + 1) pieces (the inside of the bottomed housing part can be partitioned into a desired divided space).
 このように、本発明に係る冷菓および冷菓製造方法は、不活性ガスを使用せず又冷菓の組成を限定せず氷片の接着を防ぐことができて、スプーンの通りのよい、すなわち食感にすぐれた冷菓を実現することができ、かつ流通・保存の過程においても、スプーンの通りのよさと、これに基づく優れた食感を維持することを可能とする。従って、おいしい冷菓を多くの消費者に、手軽にいつでもどこでも提供することが可能となる。 As described above, the frozen dessert and the frozen dessert manufacturing method according to the present invention can prevent adhesion of ice pieces without using an inert gas and without limiting the composition of the frozen dessert. This makes it possible to achieve excellent frozen desserts, and to maintain the good texture of the spoon and the excellent texture based on this even in the process of distribution and storage. Therefore, delicious frozen desserts can be easily provided to many consumers anytime and anywhere.
 また本発明に係る冷菓収容容器は、本発明に係る冷菓および冷菓製造方法の実施において、有底収容部の分割空間を仕切るための仕切り部材の挿入を容易にして、冷菓のコスト低減、並びに冷菓製造方法における工程簡略化とコスト低減を可能とする。 In addition, the frozen dessert container according to the present invention facilitates the insertion of a partition member for partitioning the divided space of the bottomed container in the implementation of the frozen dessert and the frozen dessert manufacturing method according to the present invention, It is possible to simplify the process and reduce the cost in the manufacturing method.

 以下、図面を参照して本発明に係る冷菓、冷菓製造方法および冷菓収容容器を説明する。 Hereinafter, the frozen dessert, the frozen dessert manufacturing method, and the frozen dessert container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
 説明に先立ち、本発明における氷片と冷菓収容容器についてそれらの構成を明確にしておく。氷片は氷を切削又は粉砕したものでスノーパウダー等も含み、冷菓収容容器は少なくとも有底収容部とその蓋部を含む。 Prior to the explanation, the configuration of the ice pieces and the frozen dessert container in the present invention will be clarified. The ice piece is obtained by cutting or pulverizing ice, and also includes snow powder and the like, and the frozen dessert container includes at least a bottomed container and its lid.
(冷菓収容容器等)
 図1に示す冷菓収容容器10は、有底収容部11と蓋部12を有している。有底収容部11は、底部11a、開口部11b、および底部11aと開口部11bとの間に形成された周面11cを有している。ここで底部11aと開口部11bは、いずれも円形であり平行している。周面11cは、底部11aと開口部11bとの周円縁を両端にした略円筒形状の周面であり、周面11cの内部は有底収容部11の内部空間11dである。ここで開口部11bの開口面積は底部11aの面積より若干広くなっていて、周面11cおよび内部空間11dは、底部11aから開口部11bに向けて若干拡径している。
(Frozen dessert container etc.)
A frozen dessert container 10 shown in FIG. 1 has a bottomed container 11 and a lid 12. The bottomed accommodating part 11 has the bottom part 11a, the opening part 11b, and the surrounding surface 11c formed between the bottom part 11a and the opening part 11b. Here, the bottom part 11a and the opening part 11b are both circular and parallel. The peripheral surface 11 c is a substantially cylindrical peripheral surface with the peripheral edges of the bottom portion 11 a and the opening portion 11 b at both ends, and the inside of the peripheral surface 11 c is an internal space 11 d of the bottomed housing portion 11. Here, the opening area of the opening 11b is slightly larger than the area of the bottom 11a, and the peripheral surface 11c and the internal space 11d are slightly enlarged from the bottom 11a toward the opening 11b.
 そのため、有底収容部11は、図2に示すように、底部11aから開口部11bまでの高さをhとし、底部11aにおける内部空間11dの直径をd0、高さh/3における内部空間11dの直径をd1、そして高さ2h/3における内部空間11dの直径をd2とすると、d0よりd1が、そしてd1よりd2が若干大きくなる(d2>d1>d0となる)。 Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the bottomed accommodating portion 11 has a height from the bottom 11a to the opening 11b as h, the diameter of the internal space 11d in the bottom 11a is d0, and the internal space 11d at the height h / 3. Is d1, and the diameter of the internal space 11d at a height of 2h / 3 is d2, d1 is larger than d0, and d2 is slightly larger than d1 (d2> d1> d0).
 蓋部12は、図1に示すように、略円柱有底形状をなして、有底収容部11の開口部11bにおいて周面11cの外周を覆うようにして、有底収容部11を閉塞することができる。 As shown in FIG. 1, the lid portion 12 has a substantially cylindrical bottom shape, and covers the outer periphery of the peripheral surface 11 c at the opening portion 11 b of the bottomed housing portion 11 to close the bottomed housing portion 11. be able to.
 仕切り部材13aおよび13bは、例えばチョコレート等の食材で形成されて、図1および図2に示すように、いずれも円形をなしており、仕切り部材13aの直径はd1で、仕切り部材13bの直径はd2である。ここで仕切り部材13aおよび13bは、それぞれ多数の網目13xを有している。 The partition members 13a and 13b are formed of a food material such as chocolate, for example, and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, both have a circular shape. The diameter of the partition member 13a is d1, and the diameter of the partition member 13b is d2. Here, the partition members 13a and 13b each have a large number of meshes 13x.
 かかる仕切り部材13aを有底収容部11の内部空間11dに挿入すると、仕切り部材13aは図2に示すように底部11aから高さh/3の位置において、底部11aと略平行するように係止する。同様に仕切り部材13bは底部11aから高さ2h/3の位置に係止する。かくして、有底収容部11の内部空間11dは、底部11aから高さh/3までの空間の第1の分割空間11x、高さh/3から高さ2h/3までの空間の第2の分割空間11y、そして高さ2h/3以上の空間の第3の分割空間11zの3つの分割空間に仕切られる。 When the partition member 13a is inserted into the internal space 11d of the bottomed housing portion 11, the partition member 13a is locked so as to be substantially parallel to the bottom portion 11a at a height h / 3 from the bottom portion 11a as shown in FIG. To do. Similarly, the partition member 13b is locked at a position 2h / 3 from the bottom 11a. Thus, the inner space 11d of the bottomed housing portion 11 is a first divided space 11x of the space from the bottom portion 11a to the height h / 3, and the second space of the space from the height h / 3 to the height 2h / 3. It is partitioned into three divided spaces, a divided space 11y and a third divided space 11z having a height of 2h / 3 or more.
 ここで第1の分割空間11xと第2の分割空間11yとは、仕切り部材13aが有する網目13xで連通し(網目13xは連通孔として作用する)、また第2の分割空間11yと第3の分割空間11zとの間も、仕切り部材13bが有する網目13xで連通する。なお、本例では仕切り部材13aが有する網目13xと仕切り部材13bが有する網目13xとは同じ網目として説明しているが、両者は互いに異なるもの(網目の寸法、形状、材質等)であってもよい。 Here, the first divided space 11x and the second divided space 11y communicate with each other through the mesh 13x of the partition member 13a (the mesh 13x functions as a communication hole), and the second divided space 11y and the third divided space 11y The divided space 11z also communicates with the mesh 13x of the partition member 13b. In this example, the mesh 13x of the partition member 13a and the mesh 13x of the partition member 13b are described as the same mesh, but they may be different from each other (mesh size, shape, material, etc.). Good.
(氷の切削等)
 氷の切削又は粉砕(以下、単に「切削」と表記することがある。)は氷点下の低温雰囲気中において行なわれる。かかる低温雰囲気は、氷点下に冷却した空気を循環する低温チャンバーで実現することができる。
(Ice cutting, etc.)
Ice cutting or crushing (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “cutting”) is performed in a low-temperature atmosphere below freezing. Such a low temperature atmosphere can be realized in a low temperature chamber that circulates air cooled below freezing point.
 図3は、低温チャンバー30の内部で氷20を切削して氷片21を得る様子を説明するための図である。低温チャンバー30は、その内部空間であるチャンバー空間30aが図示しない冷凍装置で例えば-15℃ないし-20℃に維持されている。かかる低温雰囲気では、雰囲気中の水分が凍結するため、湿度が低い状態に維持される。 FIG. 3 is a view for explaining how the ice piece 21 is obtained by cutting the ice 20 inside the low temperature chamber 30. In the low temperature chamber 30, a chamber space 30a, which is an internal space thereof, is maintained at, for example, −15 ° C. to −20 ° C. by a refrigeration apparatus not shown. In such a low temperature atmosphere, moisture in the atmosphere is frozen, so that the humidity is kept low.
 チャンバー空間30aには、少なくとも氷削器(図示せず)が配設されており、有底収容部11を収容することができる。氷削器が有する回転テーブル40は、氷削器の駆動軸41で回転駆動され、その爪40aが氷20の上面に喰い込んで氷20を氷削台42の上面に位置づけ、氷20の下面には切削刃43が接している。従って駆動軸41を回転させることによって、氷20の下面を切削刃43で切削することができる。氷20を切削して得られた氷片21は、氷削器の下方に位置づけられた有底収容部11の内部空間11dへと落下する。 The chamber space 30a is provided with at least an ice scraper (not shown) and can accommodate the bottomed storage portion 11. The rotary table 40 of the ice scraper is rotationally driven by the drive shaft 41 of the ice scraper, and its claws 40a bite into the upper surface of the ice 20 to position the ice 20 on the upper surface of the ice scraper 42, and the lower surface of the ice 20 The cutting blade 43 is in contact with. Therefore, the lower surface of the ice 20 can be cut with the cutting blade 43 by rotating the drive shaft 41. The ice piece 21 obtained by cutting the ice 20 falls into the internal space 11d of the bottomed container 11 positioned below the ice scraper.
(有底収容部への氷片の収容)
 図4は、有底収容部11への氷片21の収容の一例を説明するための図である。ここでは、有底収容部11に仕切り部材13aおよび13bを挿入した後に氷片21が収容される。
(Accommodating ice pieces in the bottomed container)
FIG. 4 is a view for explaining an example of accommodation of the ice piece 21 in the bottomed accommodation part 11. Here, the ice pieces 21 are accommodated after the partition members 13 a and 13 b are inserted into the bottomed accommodating portion 11.
 有底収容部11は、仕切り部材13aおよび13bが挿入された状態で、低温雰囲気とほぼ同じ温度に冷却されてチャンバー空間30aに収容されている。有底収容部11を氷削器の直下に位置づけて、氷20を切削し氷片21を有底収容部11の開口部11bに向けて落下させると(破線矢印21a)、図4(a)に示すように、氷片21は、開口部11bから第3の分割空間11zへと入る。ここで仕切り部材13bの網目13xの目の大きさ(広さ)が、氷片21のよりも大きければ(広ければ)、氷片21は、仕切り部材13bの網目13xを通過して、第2の分割空間11yへと落下する。 The bottomed accommodating portion 11 is cooled to substantially the same temperature as the low-temperature atmosphere with the partition members 13a and 13b inserted, and is accommodated in the chamber space 30a. When the bottomed container 11 is positioned directly below the ice scraper, the ice 20 is cut and the ice piece 21 is dropped toward the opening 11b of the bottomed container 11 (broken line arrow 21a), FIG. 4 (a). As shown, the ice piece 21 enters the third divided space 11z from the opening 11b. Here, if the size (width) of the mesh 13x of the partition member 13b is larger (if wider) than the ice piece 21, the ice piece 21 passes through the mesh 13x of the partition member 13b, and the second Falls into the divided space 11y.
 もちろん、仕切り部材13bの網目13xを形成する網構造体13yに係止して、第2の分割空間11yに落下することを阻止される氷片21もある(図5)。しかしながら、有底収容部11に僅かな振動を与えると、網構造体13yに係止していた氷片21は、第2の分割空間11yへと落下することができる。 Of course, there is also an ice piece 21 that is locked to the mesh structure 13y forming the mesh 13x of the partition member 13b and prevented from falling into the second divided space 11y (FIG. 5). However, when a slight vibration is applied to the bottomed housing portion 11, the ice piece 21 that is locked to the net structure 13y can fall into the second divided space 11y.
 すなわち、有底収容部11に振動を間欠的にあるいは連続的に与えることで、仕切り部材13bのところに留まっていた氷片21は、第2の分割空間11yに落下することができ(図5)、さらに同様にして仕切り部材13aを通過して第1の分割空間11xへと落下することができる。こうして落下した氷片21は、第1の分割空間11xを満たし、次に第2の分割空間11yに収容されて(図4(b))第2の分割空間11yを満たし、さらに第3の分割空間11zに収容されて(図4(c))第3の分割空間11zを満たす。かくして有底収容部11に所望量の氷片21を収容したならば、低温雰囲気とほぼ同じ温度に冷却された蓋部12で有底収容部11の開口部11bを閉塞する(図示せず)。 That is, by applying vibration to the bottomed housing part 11 intermittently or continuously, the ice pieces 21 that have remained at the partition member 13b can fall into the second divided space 11y (FIG. 5). In the same manner, it can pass through the partition member 13a and fall into the first divided space 11x. The ice piece 21 thus dropped fills the first divided space 11x, and is then accommodated in the second divided space 11y (FIG. 4B), fills the second divided space 11y, and further the third divided space. It is accommodated in the space 11z (FIG. 4C) and fills the third divided space 11z. Thus, when the desired amount of ice pieces 21 is accommodated in the bottomed accommodating part 11, the opening part 11b of the bottomed accommodating part 11 is closed with the lid part 12 cooled to substantially the same temperature as the low temperature atmosphere (not shown). .
 ところで、仕切り部材13aおよび13bのそれぞれの網構造体13yに留まる氷片21は、その量が僅かであるから、振動による加速度によって氷片21に加わる力も僅かである。加えて氷片21は、低温雰囲気にさらされているから、網構造体13yに留まった氷片21が振動されることで得たエネルギーが熱エネルギーに変換されても溶けないでいることができる。またかかる振動は、有底収容部11の内部空間11dに収容される氷片21の深さ(収容された氷片21の表面から有底収容部11の底部11aまでの深さ)を均一化する作用をも発揮する(氷片21を有底収容部11に均一に収容することができる)。 By the way, since the amount of ice pieces 21 remaining on the respective net structures 13y of the partition members 13a and 13b is small, the force applied to the ice pieces 21 by the acceleration due to vibration is also small. In addition, since the ice pieces 21 are exposed to a low-temperature atmosphere, even if the energy obtained by the vibration of the ice pieces 21 staying on the net structure 13y is converted into thermal energy, it can not melt. . Further, the vibration makes the depth of the ice piece 21 accommodated in the internal space 11d of the bottomed accommodating part 11 (the depth from the surface of the accommodated ice piece 21 to the bottom part 11a of the bottomed accommodating part 11) uniform. (The ice piece 21 can be uniformly accommodated in the bottomed accommodating portion 11).
 図6は、有底収容部への氷片の収容の他の例を説明するための図である。ここでは、分割空間ごとに、氷片21を収容してから仕切り部材を挿入する。 FIG. 6 is a view for explaining another example of accommodation of ice pieces in the bottomed accommodation part. Here, the partition member is inserted after accommodating the ice piece 21 for each divided space.
 低温雰囲気とほぼ同じ温度に冷却された有底収容部11の内部空間11dには、当初、仕切り部材13aおよび13bは挿入されていない(図6(a))。かかる有底収容部11を氷削器の直下に位置づけて、氷20を切削し氷片21を有底収容部11の開口部11bに向けて落下させると(破線矢印21a)、図6(b)に示すように、氷片21は、有底収容部11の内部空間11dへと入る。氷片21を、有底収容部11の底部11aから高さ約h/3のところ(第1の分割空間11xに相当する)まで収容した後、低温雰囲気とほぼ同じ温度に冷却された仕切り部材13aを有底収容部11の内部空間11dへ挿入する(図6(c))。 The partition members 13a and 13b are not initially inserted in the internal space 11d of the bottomed housing part 11 cooled to substantially the same temperature as the low-temperature atmosphere (FIG. 6A). When the bottomed storage portion 11 is positioned directly below the ice scraper, the ice 20 is cut and the ice piece 21 is dropped toward the opening 11b of the bottomed storage portion 11 (broken line arrow 21a), FIG. ), The ice piece 21 enters the internal space 11d of the bottomed container 11. A partition member that stores the ice piece 21 from the bottom portion 11a of the bottomed housing portion 11 to a height of about h / 3 (corresponding to the first divided space 11x) and then cooled to substantially the same temperature as the low-temperature atmosphere. 13a is inserted into the internal space 11d of the bottomed accommodating part 11 (FIG.6 (c)).
 しかる後、さらに高さ約2h/3のところまで(すなわち第2の分割空間11yにも)氷片21を収容した後(図示せず)、低温雰囲気とほぼ同じ温度に冷却された仕切り部材13bを有底収容部11の内部空間11dへ挿入する(図示せず)。さらに氷片21を収容して所望量の氷片21を収容した後(すなわち第3の分割空間11zにも氷片21を収容する最終収容工程の後)、低温雰囲気中とほぼ同じ温度に冷却された蓋部12で有底収容部11の開口部11bを閉塞する(図示せず)。 Thereafter, after the ice pieces 21 are accommodated (not shown) up to a height of about 2h / 3 (that is, also in the second divided space 11y), the partition member 13b cooled to substantially the same temperature as the low-temperature atmosphere. Is inserted into the inner space 11d of the bottomed housing part 11 (not shown). Further, after accommodating the ice pieces 21 and containing a desired amount of ice pieces 21 (that is, after the final containing step of containing the ice pieces 21 in the third divided space 11z), the ice pieces 21 are cooled to substantially the same temperature as in the low temperature atmosphere. The opening part 11b of the bottomed accommodating part 11 is obstruct | occluded with the covered cover part 12 (not shown).
 ここでも氷片21の収容に際し、有底収容部11に振動を適宜加えることで、有底収容部11の内部空間11dに収容される氷片の深さを均一化することができる。 Also here, when the ice pieces 21 are accommodated, the depth of the ice pieces accommodated in the internal space 11d of the bottomed accommodating portion 11 can be made uniform by appropriately applying vibration to the bottomed accommodating portion 11.
 図7は、有底収容部への氷片の収容のさらなる他の例を説明するための図である。低温雰囲気とほぼ同じ温度に冷却された有底収容部11には、当初、仕切り部材13aだけが挿入されている((図7(a))。かかる有底収容部11を氷削器の直下に位置づけて、氷20を切削し氷片21を有底収容部11の開口部11bに向けて落下させると(破線矢印21a)、氷片21は、有底収容部11の内部空間11dへと入る。有底収容部11の底部11aから高さ約2h/3のところまで(すなわち第1の分割空間11xおよび第2の分割空間11yに)氷片21を収容した後(図7(b))、低温雰囲気とほぼ同じ温度に冷却された仕切り部材13bを有底収容部11の内部空間11dへ挿入する(図7(c))。 FIG. 7 is a view for explaining still another example of accommodation of ice pieces in the bottomed housing part. Initially, only the partition member 13a is inserted into the bottomed housing part 11 cooled to substantially the same temperature as the low-temperature atmosphere (FIG. 7 (a)). When the ice piece 20 is cut and the ice piece 21 is dropped toward the opening portion 11b of the bottomed storage portion 11 (broken line arrow 21a), the ice piece 21 is moved into the internal space 11d of the bottomed storage portion 11. After the ice pieces 21 are accommodated from the bottom 11a of the bottomed accommodating portion 11 to a height of about 2h / 3 (that is, in the first divided space 11x and the second divided space 11y) (FIG. 7B). ), And the partition member 13b cooled to substantially the same temperature as the low-temperature atmosphere is inserted into the internal space 11d of the bottomed housing portion 11 (FIG. 7C).
 そして、さらに高さ約hのところまで氷片21を収容した後(第3の分割空間11zに氷片21を収容する最終収容工程の後)、低温雰囲気中とほぼ同じ温度に冷却された蓋部12で有底収容部11の開口部11bを閉塞する(図示せず)。ここでも氷片21の収容に際し、有底収容部11に振動等を適宜加えることで、有底収容部11の内部空間11dに収容される氷片の深さを均一化することができる。 Then, after the ice piece 21 is accommodated to a height of about h (after the final accommodating step of accommodating the ice piece 21 in the third divided space 11z), the lid is cooled to substantially the same temperature as in the low temperature atmosphere. The opening part 11b of the bottomed accommodating part 11 is obstruct | occluded by the part 12 (not shown). Also in this case, when the ice pieces 21 are accommodated, the depth of the ice pieces accommodated in the internal space 11d of the bottomed accommodating portion 11 can be made uniform by appropriately applying vibration or the like to the bottomed accommodating portion 11.
 なおいずれの氷片収容手順においても、有底収容部11に所望量の氷片21を収容したのち((N+1)個目の分割空間にも氷片21を収容したのち)、さらに仕切り部材を挿入してもよい。そうすれば、仕切り部材はチョコレート等の食材で形成されているから、氷片21を食するときに混合されるチョコレート等を増量することができる。なお、このように食材の増量を目的とする仕切り部材は、実質的には、有底収容部11の内部空間11dを仕切るものではない。したがってかかる仕切り部材の挿入に替えて、食材を粒状等に形成したものを収容してもよい。 In any of the ice piece accommodation procedures, after the desired amount of ice pieces 21 are accommodated in the bottomed accommodating portion 11 (after the ice pieces 21 are accommodated in the (N + 1) th divided space), a partition member is further provided. It may be inserted. If it does so, since the partition member is formed with foodstuffs, such as chocolate, chocolate etc. mixed when eating the ice piece 21 can be increased. In addition, the partition member for the purpose of increasing the amount of food as described above does not substantially partition the internal space 11d of the bottomed container 11. Therefore, it may replace with insertion of this partition member, and you may accommodate what formed the foodstuff in the granular form.
 また仕切り部材は、図8の13cに示すように、略円盤形状の円周縁が下方に向けて形成されたものであってもよい。かかる仕切り部材13cは、平面部分にかかる氷片21の加重を容器11の周面11cに向けて分散でき、例えば仕切り部材13bに替えて用いることができる。 Further, as shown by 13c in FIG. 8, the partition member may be formed so that a substantially disc-shaped circle periphery is directed downward. The partition member 13c can disperse the load of the ice pieces 21 applied to the plane portion toward the peripheral surface 11c of the container 11, and can be used instead of the partition member 13b, for example.
 ところで、有底収容部11は底部11aから開口部11bに向けて若干拡径するものに限定されず、例えば、底部11aから開口部11bにかけて、内部空間11dの直径が略同一である円筒有底形状であってもよい。この場合には、複数の仕切り部材の直径が等しくなるが、仕切り部材ごとに複数の脚部を設けて、内部空間11dに挿入してもよい。そうすれば脚部の高さが仕切り部材の間隔を規定して、分割空間の容積比を設定することができる。この場合には、脚部(円周縁部)と周面11cとの境に生ずる隙間から氷片21が落下することを防げるような脚部(たとえば図8)とすることで、本願の目的達成は維持される。 By the way, the bottomed housing part 11 is not limited to a part whose diameter is slightly increased from the bottom part 11a toward the opening part 11b. For example, a cylindrical bottomed part whose inner space 11d has substantially the same diameter from the bottom part 11a to the opening part 11b. It may be a shape. In this case, the diameters of the plurality of partition members are equal, but a plurality of leg portions may be provided for each partition member and inserted into the internal space 11d. If it does so, the height of a leg part prescribes | regulates the space | interval of a partition member, and can set the volume ratio of division space. In this case, the leg portion (for example, FIG. 8) can be used to prevent the ice pieces 21 from falling from a gap generated at the boundary between the leg portion (circumferential peripheral portion) and the peripheral surface 11c, thereby achieving the object of the present application. Is maintained.
 このように本発明は、上述した形態に限定されるものではなく、その趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で適宜変形して実施することができる。 As described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately modified and implemented without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
 たとえば、図9及び図10に示されるように、冷菓収容容器の上部を略水平の台地状と構成することもできる。こうすることによれば、複数個の搬送の際に、積層が容易になり、搬送性が高まる。 For example, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the upper part of the frozen dessert container can be configured as a substantially horizontal plateau. By doing so, the stacking is facilitated and the transportability is improved during a plurality of transports.
 また、上記においては、氷片21が仕切り部材13a、13bによってスプーンの通りの良いサクサク感を保てること説明してきたが、これらの仕切り部材をさらに活用して仕切り部材ごとに氷片21の種類を変えることができる。即ち、仕切り部材13a、13bを入れた場合を例にとれば、有底収容部11の最下段にはミルク氷の氷片、中間部にはイチゴジュース氷の氷片、最上部にはレモン氷の氷片を収容すれば、上部から食べ始めて複数種類の氷片を楽しむことができる(N個の仕切り部材によって最大(N+1)種類の氷片)。 In the above description, it has been explained that the ice pieces 21 can maintain a good crispy feeling like a spoon by the partition members 13a and 13b. However, these partition members are further utilized to select the type of the ice pieces 21 for each partition member. Can be changed. That is, taking the case where the partition members 13a and 13b are inserted as an example, the bottom portion of the bottomed housing portion 11 is ice pieces of milk ice, the middle portion is ice pieces of strawberry juice ice, and the top portion is lemon ice. Can be eaten from the top and enjoy multiple types of ice pieces (maximum (N + 1) types of ice pieces by N partition members).
 溶け合いにくいアイスクリームを数種類盛り合わせる例はあるが、混ざりやすい氷片(かき氷)を数種類盛り合わせた例は無く、本発明によれば、消費者は一つの収容容器で複数種類の氷片を楽しめる一方、スプーンなどで仕切り部材を砕いてそれぞれの氷片を混ぜ合わせることで該氷片が絶妙にミックスされた味を楽しむことができ、味覚的にも食感でも多種多様でこれまでにない冷菓を実現することができる。 Although there are examples of assembling several types of ice cream that are difficult to melt together, there is no example of assembling several types of ice pieces (shaved ice) that are easy to mix, and according to the present invention, while consumers can enjoy multiple types of ice pieces in one container, By crushing the partition with a spoon and mixing each piece of ice, you can enjoy the exquisitely mixed taste of the piece of ice, creating a wide variety of confectionary taste and texture that has never been seen before can do.
 本発明は、冷菓、冷菓製造方法および冷菓収容容器に関するものであり、冷菓の製造等において利用することができるから、又消費者に手軽にいつでもどこでもスプーンの通りのよい冷菓を味わってもらえることとなり、したがって、冷菓の製造販売等を通じてその経済的価値を発揮することができるものであって、食品産業、観光産業を含む各種産業上の利用可能性がある。 The present invention relates to a frozen confectionery, a frozen confectionery manufacturing method and a frozen confectionery container, and can be used in the production of frozen confectionery, etc., and also allows consumers to taste good frozen confectionery as a spoon anywhere and anytime. Therefore, the economic value can be exerted through the manufacture and sale of frozen desserts, and it can be used in various industries including the food industry and the tourism industry.
