Silence and sweetness at Matsuo Taisha Shrine: A relaxing moment with mitarashi dango

#0yentravelautumn Matsuo Taisha is a historic shrine in Kyoto, especially known as the god of sake brewing. The grounds are surrounded by beautiful nature, and the clear waterfalls and ponds are soothing. After worshiping, I tried the mitarashi dango, a specialty of Matsuo Taisha. The dumplings, covered in sweet and spicy sauce, had a chewy texture and made me feel happy with every bite. There are rows of sake barrels in the grounds, and there are also exhibits related to sake brewing, so there is something new to discover every time you visit. This place, where nature and history come together in harmony, is a wonderful travel destination where you can refresh both body and mind.
