“Dango” literally means “ball” or “dumpling”, and “jiru” means “soup” in Japanese. Despite the name, it consists of wide and thick noodles made from flour. The noodles are cooked with local ingredients, such as Japanese taro, onion and shiitake mushrooms, in miso soup. The sweetness of these vegetables enriches the taste of the soup, which goes well with the chewy soft noodles. It makes one warm and full.
