"Dango" resembles a doughnut hole, as you can see in this picture. It is small and round, and is a real treat. The Higashi obon was selling a version of dango that I have never seen before, Oreo Dango! I had to try it. It was simply a deep-fried oreo cookie, and it was delicious.

The 2007 Higashi Hongwanji Buddhist Temple Obon was held on Saturday, July 28 and Sunday, July 29. For more information on the temple, please visit The Higashi Honganji Buddhist Temple website.
