sakuradango is a traditional Japanese sweet made from rice flour, shaped into small, round dumplings. It is often colored in pastel shades of pink, green, and white, representing the colors of cherry blossoms. The dumplings are typically served on a skewer and can be enjoyed during the Hanami season, when people gather to view blooming cherry blossoms. These dumplings are usually served with a sweet syrup or paired with anko, a sweet red bean paste. Sakuradango is not only a popular treat during spring but also symbolizes the beauty of nature and the fleeting nature of life, much like the cherry blossoms themselves.
