Story & Recommendation
Freshly grilled and fragrant! Mitarashi-dango with sweet sauce
This store is located near Shimogamo Shrine, and is believed to be the originator of mitarashi-dango, a standard of wagashi (traditional Japanese sweets). The dango are grilled to order, so they are very fragrant. They have a springy texture. The dango are covered with plenty of sweet sauce made with brown sugar, and are nice and bite-sized.
They are also available for takeout.
Stop by when you visit Shimogamo Shrine.

This is the standard menu item. If you use the toothpicks to separate the dango from the skewer, the dango become easier to eat and they also become easier to share among a number of people. The five pieces of dango skewered together represent the human body.
The slightly separated dango on the end represents the head, and is said to ward off evil.

4Let's Try!
Eat on the outdoor seats
When the weather is nice, you can eat on the outdoor seats located by the store.
The space has an open feeling. Because these are popular seats and there are few seats, they get taken up quickly. There is a higher chance of getting a seat if you go early.
How to Order
The staff can explain things in simple English. If you go late, there is a possibility that items will have sold out. Visit earlier in the day if you can.
- Order Tips -
・There is a rule that each person must order at least one item.
