Shiratamakko

4.0

This Japanese-style sweets cafe is situated along Kawabata-dori Street, the main street in Kurokawa Onsen. Adorned with red noren shop curtains and decked out in pure Japanese decor, the cafe serves orthodox shiratama rice flour dumpling desserts made exclusively with mochi glutinous rice from Aso. The popular Yuagari Shiratama comes with shiratama dumplings served in piping hot water that you scoop out and sprinkle with kinako toasted soybean flour and sweet azuki beans before eating. The shop's vaunted shiratama dumplings are renowned for their smooth, slippery surface and addictive springy, chewy texture. The cafe also offers seasonal varieties such as Hanami Shiratama (flower-watching dumplings) in spring, and Kori Shiratama (shaved ice dumplings) in summer.
