Have you heard of a shop called “Fujinami,” which is famous for its mitarashi dango?

This shop has long been a local favorite where you can enjoy freshly made dango.

So, what kind of restaurant is Fujina Mi, which has been trending lately on social media platforms like Instagram?

In this post, I’d like to tell you about Fujina’s shop and the much-talked-about mitarashi dango.

■Who is Namimi Fuji (Sannenzaka Main Store)?

"Sannenzaka" is located on the way to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, offering a beautiful panoramic view of the city from the Yasaka Tower.

This is where the San-nen-zaka Main Store of Fujina Mi is located.

Their signature products include Kyoto-style dango with mitarashi or matcha glaze, warabi mochi with kinako or matcha, and matcha-flavored “Cha no Tsuyu Horori,” among others. The shop is known for selling fresh sweets that preserve the taste of freshly made treats and highlight the natural flavors of the ingredients.

As soon as you walk into the shop, you’ll see the handmade dango, and you can’t help but stare at them.

The grilled dumplings are dipped in a secret sauce, and it’s a real treat to watch that happen right in front of you.

They are particularly passionate about their dango, serving them fresh on the spot and continuing to cherish the dango that are beloved in Kyoto.

Using traditional methods and carefully selected ingredients, we continue to preserve the authentic flavors of Kyoto.

"Warabi Mochi" and "Horori" are available for purchase online, so you can buy them even if you live far away.

■ Namimi Fuji thinks mitarashi dango are delicious

When you visit Fujina, the item you should definitely order is the “Mitarashi Set.”

Kyoto dango are small in size, making them the kind of treat you’ll find yourself eating two or three in a row.

The fragrant, perfectly grilled dumplings pair perfectly with the subtly sweet, refined sauce.

The secret sauce has a subtle soy sauce flavor and is neither too sweet nor too spicy, resulting in a light, refined taste.

These chewy rice dumplings have a satisfying texture, and their toasty flavor is irresistible.

You can also sprinkle some kinako on top for a change of flavor, so you’ll find yourself polishing off all three sticks in no time.

It also comes with a set of "Horori," a popular sweet matcha, so you can enjoy the slightly bitter taste of matcha.
