<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a paper cup container for natto improving the uniformization and increase of the free amino acid amount in the natto and container holdability in natto agitation, and also securing printability of enabling fine characters or the like to be printed clearly on the outer surface of the container, thus enabling design diversification. <P>SOLUTION: This paper cup container comprises a cylindrical part 2 and a bottom part 3 each made of paper. There are provided embosses 5 from the bottom of the cylindrical part 2 to a height corresponding to about 30-80% of the total height of the cylindrical part 2 to form an embossed region 6 and a flat region 7 thereon. The embosses 5 serve as forming air pathway, promoting air inflow to the bottom part, improving oxygen supply to the bottom part, resulting in the uniform formation of free amino acids and increasing the total amount of the amino acids. Besides, since the embossed region 6 serves as a part to be held by hand when natto is agitated, it has a holding effect with resistance to slippage, and since the flat region 7 serves as a clearly printable part, esthetic effect is enhanced with varied design. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
