Dango at Itaiigawa, Tsuruoka, Yamagata

English

Stopped by Itaiigawa in Tsuruoka during an August trip through Yamagata — and these simple dango knocked me out. Just the right chew, barely sweet, exactly what I needed on a hot day. The kind of quiet local snack that makes you understand why you came.

８月の山形を巡ってて、鶴岡市の板井川に立ち寄ったら、こんな素朴なだんごに出会った。もっちりした食感に上品な甘さ — 暑い日にこれ以上ないうまさだったな！こういう地元の味が旅の醍醐味だ。
