② Lecture on Dango History and Matcha Nutrition Facts
③ “How to Make Matcha Dango”
Following the recipe step by step with Japanese Sweets Designer Nishimura.
Dango is basically made in two flavors: matcha green and rice flour dumpling white.
We will decorate our skewered dango in two different versions:

– “Matcha butter cream”
If you have difficulty to find the ingredients for the second type, you can make a third version instead:
– “Black honey roasted soybean flour”
