PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce a fermented rice bran lactic acid bacterium which contains a large amount of extracorporeal polysaccharide having a health function derived from lactic acid bacteria and has excellent flavor and texture using rice bran which can be ingested by a person with lactose intolerance or milk allergy. Provide a manufacturing method. SOLUTION: Rice bran is used as a raw material, and rice bran saccharified product obtained by saccharifying the rice bran with rice bran is fermented with a lactic acid bacterium that produces extracellular polysaccharides to produce rice bran containing a large amount of extracellular polysaccharides. It can improve the peculiar unpleasant odor and unpleasant taste, and can also take in useful nutrients derived from rice bran.
