✨ Shiratama Dango: A Sweet Treat for Summer!


Hi there Reader --

If you love soft and chewy Japanese sweets, this one is for you.

Shiratama dango is one of my favorite cold desserts for summer. It has that mochi-like chewy texture, but it’s very simple to make at home.

You can enjoy it in so many ways — with mitarashi sauce, fruit, sweet red bean paste, kinako, matcha, or any toppings you like.

I hope you’ll try this cold summer treat!
