Pictured here is one of the most popular snacks in the Edo period—dango. The standing youth is happily eating these chewy rice-flour dumplings skewered on bamboo and brushed with a sweet soy sauce. Dango are still popular today, made in different flavors and accompanied by toppings such as sesame seeds and soybean powder.
