Hanami dango is a traditional Japanese sweet made from rice flour, often enjoyed during the Hanami season, when cherry blossoms bloom. It typically consists of three colored dumplings: pink, white, and green. Each color symbolizes different aspects of spring, with pink representing cherry blossoms, white symbolizing purity, and green representing new growth. These dumplings are usually served on a skewer and can be enjoyed plain or with sweet soy sauce. Hanami dango is not only a popular treat during cherry blossom viewing parties but also a symbol of the arrival of spring in Japan, celebrating nature's beauty.
