An edible powder formed of particles smaller than a film thickness, a predetermined component, and an edible liquid having a mass 35% or less of a mass of the powder are kneaded to generate a plastic solid material containing a liquid. The solid material is extruded from a mold to plastically deform the solid material and a predetermined cross-sectional shape is imparted to the solid material. The solid material having the predetermined cross-sectional shape is sliced with a cutting edge so as to have a film shape having a predetermined thickness.
