The Nobeyama Millimeter Array Survey for protoplanetary disks has been made for 19 protostellar IRAS sources in Taurus; 13 were invisible protostars and 6 were youngest T Tauri stars. We observed the 98 GHz continuum and CS(J=2-1) line emissions simultaneously with spatial resolutions of 2.8”- 8.8” (360 AU-1,200 AU). Unresolved continuum emission was detected from 5 of 6 T Tauri stars and 2 of 13 protostar candidates. The continuum emission arose from compact circumstellar disks. Extended CS emission was detected around 2 T Tauri stars and 11 protostar candidates. There is a remarkable tendency for the detectability for the 98 GHz continuum emission to be small for protostar candidates. This tendency is explained if the mass of protoplanetary disks around protostars is not as large as that around T Tauri stars; the disk mass may increase with the increase of central stellar mass by dynamical accretion in the course of evolution from protostars to T Tauri stars.
