To provide a food containing hard containers for cold circulation or chilled circulation in which softened food materials are stored while maintaining their shape, which can be manufactured by inexpensive and simple operation without using a special device, and a method for producing the same .SOLUTION: Enzyme impregnation step and enzymatic reaction step are carried out by warming in a state in which the food material, decomposing enzyme, and seasoning liquid are contained and sealed in the hard container, and by heating as it is, an enzyme inactivation step And a part of the enzymatic reaction step, the enzyme deactivation step and the sterilization step are carried out in a hard container by a method in which all steps of a sterilization step are performed in a hard container, or a decomposition enzyme is introduced into a food material By means of the method, it was possible to develop food containing hard containers for cold circulation or chilled circulation.[課題]特別な装置を使用せずに、安価で簡易な操作で製造することができる、形状を保持したまま軟化した食材が収容された常温流通またはチルド流通用硬質容器入り食品およびその製造方法を提供する。[解決手段]硬質容器内に食材、分解酵素、及び調味液を収容して密封した状態で、加温することで酵素含浸工程及び酵素反応工程を行なわせ、そのまま加熱することで酵素失活工程及び殺菌工程の全工程を硬質容器内で行なわせる方法により、もしくは、食材内に分解酵素を導入した後、酵素反応工程、酵素失活工程及び殺菌工程の一部工程を硬質容器内で行なわせる方法により、常温流通またはチルド流通用硬質容器入り食品の開発を可能にした。
