1. An ultrasonic vibration applying device configured to be mounted on a container that contains a beverage and includes a spout at an upper part of the container, the ultrasonic vibration applying device comprising:
an annular fitted portion having an opening through which the upper part of the container can be inserted and removed for attachment and detachment of the annular fitted portion over the upper part of the container; and
an ultrasonic generator configured to be arranged at a position in contact with a side surface of the container and directly below the spout when the annular fitted portion is in attachment with the container, wherein
when the annular fitted portion is in attachment with the container and the container is in a pouring tilt position, the annular fitted portion causes the ultrasonic generator to remain in contact with the side surface of the container and in position directed below the spout, for allowing foaming of the beverage by generating ultrasonics during pouring of the beverage from the spout.
