SOLUTION: A constant amount of white rice 15 fed into the interior of a through-hole mold 1 for forming a white rice ball is received with a bottom force 10 to form an air groove (a) opened to the central part of the top surface of the white rice 15 in the constant amount with an air groove forming plate 11'. The resultant white rice 15 is then pressed with a top force 12 to close the opening (a') of the air groove (a). |
