Provided is a cooked rice molding apparatus which ensures that a formed cooked rice product falls while keeping almost the same posture without inclining. Part of a concave molding surface 420 of a forming roller 410 is open toward an end surface of the forming roller 410 and a groove-like guide portion 460 is provided in a pair of supporting panels 450 which support both end surfaces of the forming roller 410, whereby part of cooked rice compressed within the concave molding surface 420 and pushed out of both ends of the concave molding surface 420 is received by a guide portion 460 and part of the rice ball is caused to fall along the guide portion 460.本發明提供一種可使米飯成型物以不傾斜大致相同的姿勢落下的米飯成型裝置。將成型滾輪(410)的凹型面(420)的一部份朝成型滾輪(410)的端面開放，在成型滾輪(410)兩端面支撐用的一對支撐面板(4540)設置溝槽狀的引導部(460)，使在凹型面(410)內受到壓縮，從凹型面(410)兩端推出的米飯其一部份由引導部(460)接住，使米飯糰(10)的一部份沿著引導部(460)落下。
