It is a sweet adding water or hot water to the grain powder and make it rounded. The Dango on a stick is called, “Kushi Dango”, and the standard taste is Mitarashi and red beans. Besides that flavor, there is Kusa Dango and Hanami Dango etc..*Mitarashi is a sweet soy sauce.

This time, I would like to introduce a specialty shop,”Shirogane Honki Dango.” It is the shop specializing in Dango using "Brown rice" attracting attention from the world! At here, you can eat Dango made from brown rice rich in dietary fiber, which is said to be "complete nutrition food" using 100% of brown rice of Koshihikari from South Uonuma.
