Kibi Dango
Kibi Dango is a traditional Japanese sweet made from glutinous rice flour, known for its chewy texture. The dough is typically mixed with sugar and water, then shaped into small, round balls. These treats are often coated with soybean flour or sweet syrup for added flavor.
Originating from the Okayama region, Kibi Dango has a long history and is often associated with Japanese folklore. It is said to have been popularized by the legendary hero Momotaro, who used these sweets to gain the support of his animal companions on his journey to defeat demons.
