Otsuke Dango
Peering into a steaming bowl, the wonderful aroma of miso rises. Inside the vegetable-rich soup, the dough dumplings made from wheat flour are chewy and soft. With a single sip, the umami of the dashi and miso spreads gently, warming you to your very core. Otsuke Dango is a local dish that has been cherished in Otsuki City since ancient times. Flour dumplings, dissolved in water, are added to miso soup simmered with seasonal vegetables. This is a 'taste of home' that has been eaten primarily during the winter in this region, which once flourished through sericulture (silkworm farming). Seasonings and dashi vary from household to household; some families use soy sauce or salt, and it is even said that some arrange it with a curry flavor. The smooth texture of the dumplings and the comforting taste make this a quintessential home-cooked dish in Otsuki that you will long for on a cold day.
