MUJI Mitarashi Dango

MUJI Mitarashi Dango is a frozen food. The 12-count package is priced at 390 yen (tax included) and contains 47 kcal per dumpling.


Unlike ordinary mitarashi dango, the rice cake wrapped in mitarashi is unusual. Also, they are not on skewers and each piece is independent.


To defrost, heat the bag in a microwave oven at 500W for 60 seconds and leave it to thaw for 5 minutes, or let it thaw naturally at room temperature (20-25℃) for about 2 hours. You can also take out the number of pieces you want to eat from the bag, cover with plastic wrap, and defrost (adjust the number of seconds for microwave heating).

How do MUJI MITARASHI DUMPLINGS taste?

When you bite into the sticky dumpling, the mitarashi melts from within. It overflows more generously than you can imagine. The sweet, sweet, rich flavor is entwined with the mochi, and although it may look different, it tastes exactly like a mitarashi dango. The texture of the mochi is so good that it is hard to believe that it is frozen.


The Mitarashi is a little less sweet and smooth, giving it a sophisticated impression. This product is perfect not only for a snack, but also for filling a small stomach.
