PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To cool a vegetable chamber with a simple structure by maintaining high humidity in the vegetable chamber. SOLUTION: A communicating air duct 34 communicating with a storage chamber 3 from a cooler 5 is provided for circulating cold air of the cooler 5 to the storage chamber 3 except the vegetable chamber 4. The communicating air duct 34 is disposed in the back surface of the vegetable chamber 4. The heat insulating characteristics of the partition walls of the upper and lower surfaces and the right and left side surfaces of the vegetable chamber 4 are higher than the heat insulating characteristics of a back surface wall. Thus, the vegetable chamber 4 is cooled by a radiation and a natural convection from the communicating air duct 34 through the back surface wall. Accordingly, while the high humidity of the vegetable chamber 4 is maintained, water drops are formed only on the back surface wall in the chamber with the low heat insulating characteristics to avoid the water drops from directly dropping on food materials.
