Dango

Dango are traditional Japanese sweet dumplings made from rice flour or glutinous rice, shaped into small balls and skewered. They can be grilled or boiled and are often topped with sweet soy glaze, red bean paste, or flavored with mugwort. Popular at cherry blossom viewings and festival stalls, they are a classic treat enjoyed by people of all ages. Their chewy texture pairs perfectly with green tea. With variations like Mitarashi dango and Hanami dango, they are versatile snacks for celebrations, tea time, and souvenirs.
