      Hello, I ate Dangos at a Japanese restaurant in Berlin and was absolutely blown away by them. Afterwards, I looked for recipes online, but there are so many different versions and most of the quantities are given in cups, or sometimes not at all. And I can't do anything with cups, since there are so many different sizes for cups. That's why I would be really happy if you could maybe post a recipe for Dangos. Best regards, Marcel
