Iwate Shoeido "Sesame-spliced Dumplings
Shoeido is a long-established confectioner in Iwate. The store's "Gomadori Dango" are extremely delicious, so we would like to introduce them to you.Shoeido was founded in 1903 in Iwate. It has been making products that are in line with the local climate and culture, such as sweets using mochi (sticky rice cakes).
Their signature product, the "sesame-sururi dango," was also born from the mochi culture of southern Iwate Prefecture. The shop's founder, Mr. Kikuchi, says that he arrived at the idea of putting honey inside the dumpling through trial and error, asking himself, "Is there any other interesting way to make dumplings besides putting sweet bean paste on top of them?
The boy in the package is called "sesame-sledding monk.
The dumplings are frozen, so they are ready to eat when thawed at room temperature for about 1-2 hours. The dumplings are not the usual round dumplings, but rather have a slightly pointy top, which is kind of cute.
Shaped like an onion
Be sure to eat it in one bite. When you bite into the soft dumpling, the sesame honey starts to overflow from the inside. This "soft and smooth" texture is simply the best. You will want to taste it again and again, and will find yourself reaching for the dumplings one after another...!
thickly sticking out (e.g. something sharp and viscous)
The sesame honey is made with rich soy sauce and has an exquisite sweetness. The sesame honey is made with rich soy sauce and has an exquisite sweet-salty taste. The flavor and aroma of sesame spreads throughout your mouth. It is simple yet addictive. It goes well with Japanese tea.
