Provided is a food that has a combination of the respective advantages of a surfactant-containing emulsified food and a non-dispersion-type oil-containing liquid food.Specifically, the object is to provide an oil-in-water dispersion-type oil-containing liquid food having stability (stability of oil droplet dispersion) comparable to that of a surfactant-containing emulsified food, while providing a sharp flavor release similar to that of a non-dispersion-type oil-containing liquid food.An oil-in-water dispersion-type oil-containing liquid food or similar food to be provided includes water, oil, a three-dimensional network structure substantially consisting of fine cellulose, and at least one polysaccharide selected from the group consisting of native gellan gum, xanthan gum, iota-carrageenan, and guar gum. This food substantially does not contain a surfactant, and droplets of the oil are stably dispersed in the water.
