The present invention provides a method for manufacturing an inside-holding member, which includes the following steps: a step of forming a first side wall of the inside-holding member as a tube shape for surrounding at least a part of the combustion type heat source and at least a part of the flagrance source, the inside-holding member being used for a flagrance inhaler and for retaining a combustion type heat source and a flagrance source; and a step of forming a claw portion capable of being engaged with the combustion type heat source and a introducing port adjacent to the claw portion, by making a portion of the first side wall protrude from the first side wall.本發明提供一種內側保持構件的製造方法,係具有下列步驟:將適用於香味吸嚐器且用以保持燃燒型熱源及香味源之內側保持構件的第1側壁形成為筒狀之步驟,該筒狀係包圍燃燒型熱源之至少一部分及香味源之至少一部分之周圍;藉由使第1側壁之一部分從第1側壁突出,而形成可卡止燃燒型熱源之爪部及與爪部相鄰接之導入口的步驟。
