Mitarashi dango by LG Tony Alexander

Mitarashi Dango (みたらし団子) is a sweet rice dumpling, skewered onto a bamboo stick over a low hearth. Usually, there are three to five dumplings on a skewer and covered with a sweet soy sauce glaze. If you are lucky and can eat it fresh off the hearth it will taste more amazing.   Best enjoyed with delicious Ueshima iced coffee, in my opinion!

 

"Since 1933, Ueshima Coffee Company has been distilling the unique culture of Japanese craftsmanship into every cup of coffee. The finest quality beans are taken on a journey from seed to sip, and precision roasted under the watchful eye of our Japanese coffee masters for an exceptional flavor." ( Ueshima Coffee Company.

Eine herrliche Einladung zu einer Pause @TonyAlexander

DIES Foto von dir läd geradezu ein zu verweilen und zu genießen!

Jede Art von Reis und Sojasoße klingt verlockend für mich, ich liebe auch Sushi. Dies kenne ich kicht, würde ich aber SOFORT probieren!

@Stephanie_OWL Japan not only has good food, but excellent coffee shops as well.  Did you know that 60% of Jamaican Blue Mountain is sold right here in Japan?  The coffee and dango is my OWN personal favorite, most locals never eat dango with coffee.
