Food product molding device and food product manufacturing method

A food product molding device comprising:

• a mold unit in which first to N-th mold plates moving together are stacked in order when N is an integer of two or more;
• a molding hole portion formed by respective through holes respectively formed in the first to N-th mold plates being linked in a stacking direction of the first to N-th mold plates, sequentially moving from first to N-th supply positions corresponding to first to N-th supply openings for supplying foodstuffs by the movement of the mold unit in one direction, and moving to a discharge position;
• first to N-th restraining members provided so as to correspond to the first to N-th mold plates;
• and
• a pusher pushing out the foodstuffs inside the molding hole portion at the discharge position,
• wherein, when J is an integer from 1 to N, a J-th restraining member covers a downstream end in a supply direction of the through hole in a J-th mold plate so as to restrain movement of the foodstuff from the through hole in the J-th mold plate to a downstream side in the supply direction when the molding hole portion is at a J-th supply position, and does not cover the downstream end in the supply direction of the through hole in the J-th mold plate when the molding hole portion is at a (J+1)-th supply position to the discharge position.
