Kibi Dango
Kibi Dango is a quintessential Okayama confection, passed down alongside the legend of Momotaro. Made by combining glutinous rice, sugar, and millet flour into a soft gyuhi-style sweet, it has been a staple Okayama souvenir, associated with the folktale where Momotaro shared these dumplings with his followers. While once a simple, rustic food made from steamed and hardened millet, it has been refined into a soft and elegant confection using glutinous rice and other ingredients. Various manufacturers, such as Eieido and Yamakata Eijudo, offer unique flavors through their respective production methods, including fruit-flavored varieties like white peach and Muscat grape, which are native to Okayama. Its chewy texture and gentle sweetness are loved across generations. Comparing the different flavors from various companies is a pleasure unique to Okayama.
