1. A dispensing container with a cutter, the dispensing container comprising:
a storage part having a tubular shape with an opening at a top and configured to contain a solid material;
a helical tube having a helical groove on an outer peripheral surface of the helical tube, and configured to be attached to a bottom surface of the storage part;
a rotating lid disposed to be horizontally rotatable and including a top plate and a peripheral wall that is a side surface of the rotating lid, the top plate being provided with the cutter on an underside of the top plate and the top plate having an outlet, the cutter being configured to cut the solid material into a thin piece and the outlet being configured to discharge the cut thin piece of the solid material; and
a movable plate having a hole into which the helical tube is fitted, and configured to be raised within the storage part in conjunction with rotation of the rotating lid,
wherein the top plate of the rotating lid has a fitting projection that extends downward to be inserted into an upper end of the helical tube so as to cause the helical tube to rotate together with the rotating lid, the dispensing container further comprising a tubular cover that covers a part of an outer peripheral surface of the storage part from side portions of the storage part,
wherein an inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall of the rotating lid engages an outer peripheral surface of the tubular cover such that the rotating lid is freely rotatable with respect to the tubular cover, and
wherein the movable plate is configured to be raised in response to relative rotation between the rotating lid and the tubular cover.
