It's been a long time since I bought Mitamaya's black mitsu dango! It used to be just over 1000 yen, but now the price has increased to 1296 yen. But there's still plenty of kinako! ! It seems like there is less brown sugar syrup than before? My impressions changed a little when I ate it, but it was very soft and delicious!
If I have a chance to go again, I would like to buy it (^^)

I received black sugar syrup dango as a gift.
The rice cake is very soft, and the brown sugar syrup has an elegant sweetness that isn't too overpowering.
It was so delicious that I never got tired of eating it.
This is definitely one item you should consider when taking home as a souvenir.

This shop is famous for its black sugar syrup soybean flour dumplings. Soft, more like warabimochi than dumplings. The compatibility of brown sugar syrup and soybean flour is very good.
It makes a great souvenir, but the large amount of soybean flour makes it difficult to distribute.
