PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hood hinge device capable of absorbing impact energy applied to a hood. SOLUTION: This hood hinge device 10 comprises a hinge base member 11 fixed to a vehicle body, a hinge shaft 12 mounted on the hinge base member 11, and an arm member 13 vertically rotatable about the hinge shaft 12. The arm member 13 is fixed to the hood. A bar-like deformable part 40 is formed on the hinge base member 11. A projected part 80 is formed on the arm member 13 at a position above the deformable part 40. When the arm member 13 is lowered while rotating about the hinge shaft 12 by an impact load applied to the hood from the upper side, the projected part 80 is brought into contact with the deformable part 40, and the deformable part 40 is deformed to absorb energy.
