Provided is a granular material-containing condiment which does not allow the granular material in the liquid condiment to flow down to the bottom of a container, is favorably disposed on food and allows one to feel the texture of the granular material. This granular material-containing topping condiment containing a granular material comprises: (A) a 4-mesh-pass and 16-mesh-on material in an amount, on a wet basis, of 1-50% by weight of the entire condiment； and (B) a 16-mesh-pass and 100-mesh-on material in an amount, on a wet basis, of 0.1-50% by weight of the entire condiment. An amount of 10-100% by weight of the material (A) on a wet basis is a granular material having an angle ([alpha] DEG) of repose of 20 DEG <； [alpha] <； 45 DEG. The angle ([alpha] DEG) of repose is determined as follows: a material in a dry state is formed by injection into a substantially conical symmetrical pile on an immobilized disk having a radius r (cm) and a holding edge for holding the material, the height H (cm), which is the difference between the top of the holding edge and the top of the substantially conical pile, is measured, and the angle ([alpha] DEG) of repose is determined from "tan[alpha] = H/r". The 4-mesh-pass and 16-mesh-on material constitutes not less than 3.0% by weight of the entire condiment on a wet basis. The entire condiment has a viscosity, as determined by a B-type viscometer, of 600-8500 mPa·s, and a viscosity, as determined by a Bostwick viscometer at 20 DEG C for 30 seconds, of 6-25 cm.本發明提供一種於調味液中球狀成分不沈落於容器之底部而於食材上之載置性良好、且可感受到球狀成分之食感之含有球狀成分之調味料。 本發明之含有球狀成分之配料調味料之特徵在於：含有(A)通過4目篩且被16目篩截留之成分以濕重量計為調味料整體之1～50重量%、及(B)通過16目篩且被100目篩截留之成分以濕重量計為調味料整體之0.1～50重量%，且成分(A)之濕重量之10～100重量%係對於利用注入法使乾燥狀態之成分於具有用以保持成分之保持緣之經固定之半徑r(cm)之圓板上形成具有對稱性之大致圓錐狀之積層體時之保持緣之最高部與大致圓錐狀之積層體之最高部的差量即高度H(cm)進行測定，藉此根據「tanα＝H/r」所求出之靜止角α(°)為20°＜α＜45°之球狀成分，且含有通過4目篩且被16目篩截留之球狀成分以濕重量計為調味料整體之3.0重量%以上，由B型黏度計測得之調味料整體之黏度為600 mPa·s～8500 mPa·s，於測定溫度20℃、測定時間30秒下由Bostwick黏度計測得之黏度為6～25 cm。
