Hanami dango: possibly my favorite springtime treat

Do you have a favorite springtime sweet here? I know that some things are very much limited-time only, like unique convenience store sweets that pop up for a really limited window, never to be seen again. However, some things are a springtime staple each year, and one thing I always like to grab when I see it at local supermarkets or convenience stores is hanami dango.

There are several reasons I love them, and the first is probably the visual appeal element. The pretty pink, white, and green colors just feel spring-like, so it helps make me feel like the season is really here. Secondly, they are nice for those days where you want a sweet treat but it doesn't need to be super sugary. These give me the sweets fix without being too unhealthy, and the satisfying chew makes it feel quite satiating.


Is it easy to find hanami dango in your local area? Do you like them?
