1. A container with handle, which is capable of containing a predetermined amount of fluid, the container with handle comprising:
an upper surface portion to which an inlet and outlet portion of liquid is formed;
a side surface portion connected to the upper surface portion;
a bottom surface portion disposed on a side opposite to the upper surface portion and connected to the side surface portion; and
a hollow and long grip portion formed to the side surface portion,
wherein the grip portion includes:
a first connecting end portion connected with the side surface portion;
a second connecting end portion connected with the side surface portion at a position closer to the bottom surface portion than the first connecting end portion;
a grip body portion disposed between the first connecting end portion and the second connecting end portion; and
a hollow portion communicating with an interior of the container,
wherein an area of a cross section of the hollow portion cut by a plane, which passes through a first end point of the second connecting end portion closest to a central axis of the container passing through the inlet and outlet portion and is orthogonal to the central axis, is larger than an area of a cross section of the hollow portion cut by a plane which is at the grip body portion and is orthogonal to the central axis,
wherein the grip body portion is reduced in diameter from the second connecting end portion toward the first connecting end portion when the container is viewed from the side surface portion side so that the central axis of the container passing through the inlet and outlet portion of the liquid overlaps with the grip body portion,
wherein the container is a returnable container that is washed and used repeatedly,
wherein a body diameter of the container is 25 cm to 30 cm and a height of the container is 45 cm to 55 cm,
wherein, when the container is installed on a horizontal plane with the bottom surface portion facing downward, a height from the horizontal plane to a center of an upper bottom portion of the bottom surface portion is greater than or equal to 20 mm and less than or equal to 35 mm,
wherein an overhanging portion that overhangs toward the upper surface portion is formed in the center of the upper bottom portion,
wherein the side surface portion has a concave portion to which the first connecting end portion and the second connecting end portion are connected,
wherein the side surface portion includes a first surface on an upper surface portion side, a second surface on a bottom surface portion side, and a third surface connecting the first surface and the second surface, and
wherein the first surface and the second surface are orthogonal to the central axis in a portion excluding an area connecting with the side surface portion other than the third surface, the grip portion, and the concave portion.
