These Japanese sweets were given the name"sasadango" by the troops of Kenshin Uesugi (16th century samurai warrior) who would carry them as provisions.
They would mix the "dango" (dumplings) with "yomogi" (mugwort) and wrap them in "sasa" (bamboo leaf) hence "sasadango".
Although traditionally eaten at festivals during June, it has now become a popular Niigata souvenir to take home.
In olden times, every family made many during the holiday periods.
Now a days, there everywhere again for summer and I love it!
I'll deffiantly miss mochi when I'm gone.
And I'll esp. miss getting the frozen ones for school lunch and as little gifts on my desk.
