Iroku Honpo Botchan Dango
Created by the long-established Iroku Honpo, founded in 1887, this Botchan Dango is full of Matsuyama charm. It was inspired by a scene in Natsume Soseki's novel 'Botchan,' where the protagonist enjoys dango at Dogo Onsen. Featuring three colors of bean paste—matcha, egg yolk, and adzuki—wrapped around chewy gyuhi mochi and served on a skewer, it is adorable to look at. You can enjoy the different flavors of each paste one bite at a time. Since you can easily buy them individually at shops in the Dogo Onsen district, they are perfect for snacking while strolling after a bath. The colorful trio of bean pastes is visually delightful, making this a quintessential local treat to enjoy while immersing yourself in the literary atmosphere of Matsuyama, just like Soseki.
