Sasadango Making Experience

A-09

Would you like to make Sasadango, a beloved traditional sweet from Niigata?
Join us at a cozy local restaurant known for its hearty, vegetable-rich regional dishes. The friendly owner will guide you step by step as you wrap the fragrant bamboo leaves and shape your own chewy dumplings.

When your Sasadango is ready, enjoy tasting it warm and fresh on the spot.
Experience a unique hands-on activity you can find only in Niigata—perfect for creating unforgettable travel memories.

The experience is taught by Mrs. Sugisaki, the owner of a local restaurant who knows all about the ingredients and cooking methods of this region.

Bamboo leaves – or ‘sasa’, where sasadango gets its name - have long been used in different methods for their natural ability to kill bacteria. Many of the ingredients used are prepared locally, such as the mochi flour used to make the dango, and the adzuki beans used to make the bean paste.
