1. Does anyone know what the wooden box she uses to separate and roll the dango is called?

2. I wanna try it looks really good

3. Old folks are the best, when it comes to cooking mastery in the kitchen. I see the elderly in the kitchen, I know it’s greatness. <3

4. I found them too sweet when I first arrived in Japan. Really disliked the sweet soy sauce flavor. Avoided them for almost 20 years, then decided to try it again- and I love it! Handmade like this must be amazing 😋

5. Does anyone know the name of the shop?

6. Ohhhh those look delectable! And how I wish I’d still be as active as granny at 94!

7. She would be wery rich if she opened a shop in Helsinki.

8. I’ve tried to make these myself a few times and I conceded that its purely an art form and something that is outside the scope of both my ability to time things and my patience. This woman is a hero.

9. Damn, now I want fresh dango. My local Japanese grocery has a sweets shop built in that used to make their own, but they had to stop due to management interference. All I can get is the packaged stuff that’s been sitting on the shelf all day now. T_T
