Izumi Kowa-do Chichi Dango (Milk Dumplings)
A beloved treat from Izumi Kowa-do in Shobara City, Hiroshima Prefecture. Known as 'Chichi Dango' (Milk Dumplings), these nutritious sweets are as soft as gyuhi, made by kneading fresh milk with mochi flour, sugar, starch syrup, and honey—without using a single drop of water. At the end of the Meiji era, a government-run livestock farm was opened in the Nanatsukahara Highlands of Shobara, making this region a pioneer of dairy farming in Hiroshima. The founder, noticing the quality of this milk, painstakingly created these nutritious dumplings. It is said that upon their release in 1934, they instantly gained widespread popularity. With every bite, a gentle sweetness of milk spreads through your mouth, offering a nostalgic flavor. Today, it is a staple souvenir representing eastern Hiroshima, commonly found in department stores.
