1. A cylindrical positive electrode mixture is accommodated in a bottomed cylindrical positive electrode can, and a separator base paper wound in a roll is rotated in a horizontal direction inside the positive electrode mixture. After being cut out to a predetermined size, a separator having a cylindrical portion formed by rotating the separator base paper in the horizontal direction is inserted, and the electrolytic solution is infiltrated into the separator and the positive electrode mixture, and into the hollow portion of the separator. An alkaline dry battery in which a gelled zinc negative electrode is filled, a sealing body is attached to an opening of the positive electrode can, and a tip end of the separator is bent inward in a radial direction by a gasket of the sealing body. An alkaline dry battery, wherein the ratio of the tensile strength in the longitudinal direction to the tensile strength in the width direction of the base paper is 2/1 to 1/1.
