DANGO | SWEET

Dango is a Japanese dumpling mochi. Typically they are skewered, but still have non skewered types as well. They are usually accompanied by some green tea for a nice dango set. Of the many different types of dango, one of the most common skewered dango is the mitarashi dango. About 3-5 dangos are lined up on a skewer and grilled for a nice crisp on the outside with a nice warm chewy inside. After they are grilled, they are glazed with a thick layer of sweet soy sauce glaze. You can easily buy these at dango stands and convenience stores throughout Japan.
