PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a storage method capable of achieving actual feeling "deliciousness" on frozen foods.SOLUTION: There is provided a storage method which has a storage section for storing foods, cooling means for cooling the storage section, detection means for detecting a room temperature of the storage section and control means for controlling the room temperature of the storage section, and the control means can conduct aging for actual feeling "deliciousness" at a temperature zone lower than 0°C which can suppress the occurrence of malodor by controlling a temperature pattern to maintain the room temperature of the storage section at -20°C to -10°C which is a first temperature zone by the cooling means and then maintain a second temperature zone of higher than -10°C and less than 0°C for a fixed period.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】冷凍した食品の、実感できる「おいしさ」を実現できる貯蔵方法の提供。【解決手段】食品を貯蔵する貯蔵区画と、前記貯蔵区画を冷却する冷却手段と、前記貯蔵区画の室温を検知する検知手段と、前記貯蔵区画の室温を制御する制御手段とを有し、前記制御手段は前記冷却手段で前記貯蔵区画の室温を第1の温度帯である-20℃以上-10℃以下で一定時間維持した後、-10℃より高く0℃未満の第2の温度帯で一定時間維持する温度パターンで制御することにより、腐敗が抑制できる0℃より低い温度帯で、「おいしさ」が実感できる熟成を行うことができる貯蔵方法。【選択図】図2
