This rice shaping device is provided with: a shaping mold comprising a plurality of molding pieces and a drive mechanism that changes the positions of the plurality of molding pieces along a placement surface on which rice is placed. The plurality of molding pieces are disposed so as to form an inner space in which rice is supplied. The drive mechanism simultaneously moves the plurality of molding pieces between a first position and a second position where a projection surface of the inner space on the placement surface is smaller than that of the first position, thereby shaping the rice in the inner space. The rice shaping device provides a rice shaped product in which an outer area is firm and an inner area is soft and fluffy.此米飯成形裝置具備:包含複數個模片的成形模、及沿著載置米飯之載置面使複數個模片位移的驅動機構。複數個模片是配置成形成用以供給米飯之內部空間。驅動機構是使複數個模片同時在第1位置、與對內部空間之載置面的投影面比第1位置小的第2位置之間移動,而將內部空間內的米飯成形。此米飯成形裝置可以獲得外部是穩固的且內部形成柔軟蓬鬆之狀態的米飯成形品。1‧‧‧米飯成形裝置2‧‧‧成形模3‧‧‧驅動機構21‧‧‧模片22‧‧‧內部空間23‧‧‧邊成形部24‧‧‧角部成形部25‧‧‧貫通孔32‧‧‧模片保持部321‧‧‧安裝部322‧‧‧軸桿323‧‧‧固定構件3332‧‧‧引導機構D32‧‧‧移動方向
