Sanzen-in Temple
#FoodieFinds in Japan includes dango , a sweet dessert that is mostly made of mochi so it's chewy. It's so good when it's warm and usually served with tea. It was my afternoon snack when I visited Kifune Shrine. It is served right in the shrine so I heard people ringing bells and clapping while I enjoyed my snack.
