It was a delicious bamboo dumpling ❗️ We also do local shipping ?

I went to Japanese sweets shops in search of rice dumplings, but only here and Mizuki-do were asked by diving on the day. (The chimaki here is not a general Chinese chimaki, but a chimaki that is made by wrapping rice in bamboo grass and eating it with boiled flour.) I wanted to make it ★ 5 just for this point, but I dropped one because it didn't have soybean flour. Chimaki, it's sober and not famous, but you want to eat it asexually ... You can taste the deliciousness of rice directly

The bamboo dumplings that my relatives always buy were at this shop! It's been delicious for a long time.

In Nakajo (Townai City), I think it is the most delicious bamboo dumpling shop! Every time I go home, I will order as a souvenir and go home~ When you buy... If you don't order by phone please call us! If you buy a lot, it will be saved because it will only service this shop- The goal of the store is diagonally across from Nakajo Central Hospital... where the Momotaro flag of Kuroneko Yamato Takkyubin is flowing...

Sasa Dango is a typical Japanese confectionery in Niigata prefecture. It is made by wrapping yomogi dumplings with bean paste in a few leaves of sasa, squeezing both ends with a string of suge or igusa, tying them in the center, and steaming or boiling them (the method of making differs depending on the region). In some areas, such as the Kita-Kamahara region, there are places where there is no connection in the center. It is common to untie the string, peel off only the upper half like a banana, hold the lower part, and eat as if you are biting. Generally, it is a small soybean paste that is put inside, but in some areas this is called a "woman dumpling", and there are two types, a "boy dumpling" that puts a kinpira inside. Something other than anko is called "Aemondango", and something with only skin is called "Otokodango" because it doesn't dwell in the child. Background of the history and spread of bamboo dumplings Sasa has a bactericidal effect, and according to Hokuetsu Fudoki, it was born as a portable preserved food during the Warring States period. There is also a myth that it was invented by a vassal of Kenshin Uesugi. Until around 1955, it was a local food that was made in each household as an offering of the festival of the end of the day. I put various things like rice balls, and also put plums and dried bonito flakes. "Anko" began to be used after the middle of the Meiji era when sugar became generally available, but the color of the local food made at home was strong. The reason why the bamboo dumplings were sold as "Japanese sweets as souvenirs of Niigata" and gained nationwide popularity was that they proposed and promoted "Niigata souvenirs and bamboo dumplings" at the time of holding the Niigata National Athletic Meet (19th National Athletic Meet) in 1964. It was the success of Yukichi Sasakawa (Sasakawa Mochiya). According to "Hundred Years of Companies in Niigata Prefecture" (published by Niigata Daily Business Co., Ltd., 2011), the long-established store Sasakawa Mochiya (1883) has a store in Nishibori Maedori 4th Town, Chuo-ku, Niigata City in 1961. Founded in 1884 (Meiji 16)) Niigata Prefecture and Niigata City belong to the Niigata City Souvenir Association to which the late Yukichi Sasakawa (who received the Minister of Education Award as a Niigata local history researcher and regional cultural meritorious person) belongs. Asked to develop a new Niigata souvenir, Yukichi reviewed the manufacturing method at his own shop and developed an improved bamboo dumpling as a souvenir for the Niigata National Athletic Meet held in 1964 (Showa 39). As a result, it was first certified as a recommended special product by Niigata Prefecture and Niigata City, and became a igniter known throughout the country as "Niigata souvenir confectionery bamboo dumplings". On the other hand, in exchange for the fame gained as a souvenir, it is no longer made at home, and the number of people who know the custom has decreased. The March 18, 2016 issue of News Line Co., Ltd.'s Niigata information magazine "WEEK!" Featured the feature article "King of Niigata Hand Souvenirs Sasa Dumpling Collection Didn't Know !? Sasa Dumpling's Past and Present Story" "Niigata As the reason why we stood at the top of souvenirs, we interviewed Sasakawa Mochiya, the originator of Niigata souvenir bamboo dumplings, and introduced how bamboo dumplings became a staple of Niigata souvenirs. In 1966 (Showa 41), Yukichi Sasakawa appeared on NHK and introduced a picture of how to wrap the bamboo dumplings, and encouraged the citizens of Niigata Prefecture to raise their awareness of the history of the bamboo dumplings. Currently, it is sold at major stations, roadside stations, parking areas, service areas, etc. in the prefecture, and it is also sold in-car on the Joetsu Shinkansen and limited express trains. It is a sweet that is familiar to Niigata residents, and is also served for lunch. There are also examples of local confectionery stores manufacturing and selling in the Aizu region of Fukushima prefecture. There is a theory that "Chimaki", a souvenir confectionery in Hitachi Ota City, Ibaraki Prefecture, is based on bamboo dumplings. However, this "Chimaki" dumpling is white without using Homura.
