This is the nostalgic taste of denpun dango. The neighborhood grannies and aunties made these a lot. These were the sweets I had when I was a kid. They are soft and chewy, and lightly sweetened.

If you dump all the hot water at once, the denpun will harden, so add a little at a time like you would when mixing katakuriko with water. The dough will feel stiff when you're working in the hot water, but if you can work in this amount of hot water, they should turn out fine. Recipe by Maimama
