Types

The many different varieties of dango are usually named after the various seasonings served on or with it.[1]

Popular dango

• Hanami dango (花見だんご) is sanshoku dango (三色団子) to eat during hanami. It has three colors (pink, green, white), and is traditionally made during sakura-viewing season, hence the name (hanami means "flower viewing"; hana meaning "flower", and mi meaning "to see").

Pink represents cherry buds, white represents cherry blossoms in full bloom, and green represents leafy cherry blossoms after they have fallen.

[ru] Данго

Данго (яп. 団子) или оданго (яп. お団子) — японские клёцки или колобки из клейких сортов риса[1]. Обычно их надевают на палочку и покрывают пастой анко, мукой кинако, либо жарят. Похожи на моти[2]. Под Новый год принято вешать дома 12 данго, символизирующие 12 месяцев, на сухие ветки в качестве пожелания благополучия. Отсюда пошла поговорка «Лучше данго, чем цветы» (яп. 花より団子 хана ёри данго, русский аналог - „соловья баснями не кормят“)[1].
