I love these so much; I almost ate myself sick on them at a temple fair once! I was embarrassed, but they were so good and I hadn't eaten all day. ^_^

[@justonecookbook]

Aww! My son love these a lot too. 🤗 It’s so addicting. I love the red bean one and I have zero control over it. 😛

[@cheekyrabbit]

As my husband and I are in love with Japanese cuisine, I decided I wanted to learn Japanese cooking. Your website was one of the first I found. The approachable nature, and the presentation of the recipes has me feeling less intimidated. Thank you for the extensive grocery suggestions on where to buy/substitutions for cooking ingredients. (Which outside of technique, is probably the MOST intimidating part.) I'm excited to make Onigiri, then Dango, once I find the flours.

[@bigworldsmallperson]

Beautiful! Those were my favorite treat when I was studying in Kyoto. Excited to give this recipe a try.

[@justonecookbook]

Hope you enjoy!🤗💗

[@paulsmith9341]

I remember 12yo me stopping at this tiny sweets shop in the mid 60s Yokohama. It was attached to the elderly storekeeper's residence. 10 yen would buy me one stick.

[@KusinaniMamee]

Thank you for sharing this 💕 would love to try it.

[@sistersw0213]

Yummy! That looks so good.

[@FrancesRyan2060]

Thank you so very much. You have been so amazing in my life. I didn't now to whisk the potato starch mixture before heating to avoid lumps...game changer! You are amazing! (PS I love your emails)

[@justonecookbook]

Thank you for subscribing to my newsletter 💗 I’m so happy my tip is useful!🤗

[@Red-balloon7]

I agree with you ❤😊

[@norasu79]

I love these and always ask when I shop at Asian groceries. I've only had them a few times in the past couple of decades. 😔 thank you for the recipe! I'm going to try it!

[@justonecookbook]

It’s fun to be able to make it at home! 🤗

Thank you so much 😀

OMG! Is that an updated itadakimasu from your children at the end? How fast time flies… Thank you for sharing as always!

[@justonecookbook]

Yes they are! 🤗

[@tunatuna8877]

There was a stand in Takayama that grilled the dango but I can't remember what sauce they used. I used to walk there from my grandparents house.

[@justonecookbook]

Hmm! I wonder if it’s sweet miso based. I have been to Takayama but forgot if I had any dango there.

[@tunatuna8877]

@@justonecookbook That's awesome you've been. It was my mom's hometown. I spent many summers there!

[@Ramyapad19]

Cant wait to make this soon for me for the glaze can i skip mirin as i don't use alcohol at home i never had mitarashi dango before perfect for my after office snacks

[@justonecookbook]

You can substitute mirin with water and sugar. The ratio of water and sugar should be 3:1. Hope this helps!

[@mamshie888]

can we buy all the flour in a japanese grocery or even in takashimaya supermarket?

[@justonecookbook]

Yes. They usually have them.

[@restaurantman]

🍡👍

[@TheSilverwing999]

Everyone talks about these but they aren't that good tbh. They taste of nothing and the consistency isn’t great. Very disappointing

[@justonecookbook]

I'm sorry to hear that didn't go well. On my website, I provide tips and clear instructions. I hope this clarifies more about the recipe.
