Miso Dareyaki Dango ( Specialty of Gunma)

Misodareyakidango ( Specialty of Gunma), originally uploaded by Tony Alexander.

Another (郷土料理）local specialty item that can only be purchased on site. This hot soft sweet miso dipped rice ball is one excellent treat, especially on a cold autumn morning when there're no restaurants open. The plate and food evoke a memory of old Japan, back when people appreciated slow food made with love and not machines.
