Yamayaki Dango
These fragrant dumplings are inspired by 'Yamayaki' (controlled burning), a seasonal tradition of spring in Akiyoshidai. It offers a simple, nostalgic taste of soft mochi coated in kinako. In Akiyoshidai, one of Japan's largest controlled burns takes place every early spring to preserve the magnificent karst plateau landscape. The origin of this confection lies in the kinako dumplings that people used to bring together during these burnings. This treat was born from local life, where the fresh greenery sprouting after the fire was utilized as fertilizer and animal feed. Easy to share thanks to its individual packaging, it is the perfect souvenir for visiting Akiyoshido Cave or Akiyoshidai. The combination of slightly sweet mochi and fragrant kinako evokes a sense of nostalgia with every bite. It is a simple, exquisite confection meant to be enjoyed while imagining the scenery of the Yamayaki that calls forth the spring.
