An apparatus for encrusting bean jam is provided wherein patterns for opening and closing movements and up and down movements of shutter members of a cutting apparatus can be readily changed. The encrusting apparatus includes a cutting apparatus ( ) having a plurality of shutter members ( ) to cut a bar-like food material that is supplied from a combining nozzle ( ), a food-receiving apparatus ( ) to receive a food material that is encrusted and that is cut by the cutting apparatus ( ), a first control motor M to open and close the plurality of the shutter members, and a second control motor M to move the food-receiving apparatus ( ) up and down. The reference position for the first control motor M is determined on the position of the shaft of it when the shutter members ( ) are closed to have their front ends meet at the center, or when the position is shifted 180 degrees in phase.
