Kamo Mitarashijaya is a historic dango shop near Shimogamo Shrine, credited with originating mitarashi dango. Visit this iconic spot for a taste of traditional Kyoto sweets with a unique, less sweet sauce.

Try the original mitarashi dango, known for its firmer rice cakes and less sweet sauce, a classic Kyoto treat.
In their own words: “one thing I noticed about the original dango from this place is that the rice cakes are firmer than what I'm used to the sauce isn't as sweet dango is my favorite treat here in Japan so please try in”
