The Japanese Dango is a traditional sweet made from rice flour, which is related to mochi. It is often made with 3 to 4 dango on a skewer. It's enjoyed all year round, but is particularly popular in the New Year season. Recently, the Megatoy toymaker designed a toymaker to make dango. It comes with a special medium sized pot to efficiently mix rice, flour, and water into dango. After about 300 times of mixing and a couple minutes in the microwave, you are ready to form it into round balls.

You may add your favorite toppings like strawberry, or the classic Mitarashi sauce, which has a light sweet and salty taste. In addition to other fun tools to form your Dango into other shapes.
