I was interested in the lunch menu and the shaved ice, but this time, I ordered the dango set (with sweet bean paste and sweetened dumplings) 🍡. ꙳

Thanks to the very calm store and the courteous wait staff, I had a relaxing and enjoyable time (^-^).
The dumplings you bake by yourself are not only fun, but you can also adjust the degree of browning.
I was glad to learn from the waiter that the secret to not getting burnt is to turn them over before they get stuck in the first place lol.

There seems to be another dango shop in Nagoya that bakes dumplings on a table-top stove, so I'm looking forward to trying that one next. ☔︎
