  • The Sanuki Plain has a busy farming season from harvesting wheat in May to planting rice in June. It is said that if you don't finish planting rice by the end of the summer, you will end up with a half-summer crop.
    It is said that the rain that has continued to fall in the "half-summer swelling" will clear up on this day, so we eat "bald dumplings" and "Sanuki udon" made of wheat and rest for half a day.
    The origin of the name "bald dumpling" is that even if you spread the dried dumplings on the dumplings, they will slip and slip and become mottled. It is said that dango in the midsummer has become a “bald dumpling”.
    Dango made with flour is glossy, fragrant and tasty, but it quickly becomes hard, so many homes made with rice flour are also increasing. In addition, we make not only bean paste but also kinako.
