- description: Dango (団子) are a popular form of Japanese dumpling made from a special type of rice cake called "mochiko" (similar to mochi). Dango are a very traditional treat in Japan often served to guests along with green tea. There are many types of dango enjoyed in Japan though some forms of dango are especially popular during certain seasons. The dango seen in this video is "Mitarashi dango". This simple yet very popular type of dango is covered in a thick syrup made from sugar, rice and starch. The humble dango provides a glimpse of Japanese culture as it is used in the popular folk saying "hana yori dango"(花より団子) which translates as "dumplings instead of flowers". This phrase captures nicely the Japanese preference for object, actions and lifestyles which are humble and simple.
