Keizoku Dango
A simple dumpling born in Naoetsu that also appears in the novel 'Horoki' (A Wanderer's Notebook). Keizoku Dango is a famous confection made by Minoya in Naoetsu, Joetsu City. It is said to be named in commemoration of the year 1903 (Meiji 36), when local people prayed for the survival of the Naoetsu Grain Exchange and its continued operation was granted. It also appears in Fumiko Hayashi's novel 'Horoki,' where a scene depicts the protagonist finding hope in sweet dumplings. It is a simple, additive-free creation using only white bean paste, with the surface toasted to a fragrant brown and glazed with agar. Each skewer features four dumplings, each approximately 3cm in diameter. The gentle sweetness and smooth texture are nostalgic and soothing. It is a historic dumpling passed down through generations along with its story.
