• the heat sealed sheet has a size approximately equal to a size of the bottom surface of the spout base,
• the heat sealed sheet hermetically seals the inner opening which faces the accommodating part, and is securely fixed to the bottom surface of the attachment portion of the spout base, and
• the aluminum region of the heat sealed sheet and the aluminum region of an inner surface of the accommodating part of the container are in close contact with each other, so that hydrogen contained in the hydrogen water is less prone to get out of the container and the spout base.
