Biwako Marriott Hotel to Host Limited 3-Day "Freshly Made Kushi Dango Experience ~A Summer Moment for Parents and Children~"

Biwako Marriott Hotel is pleased to announce the "Freshly Made Kushi Dango Experience ~A Summer Moment for Parents and Children~," a hands-on program designed for parents and children to create summer vacation memories. This event will be held for three days only: July 29, 2026 (Wednesday), August 5, 2026 (Wednesday), and August 19, 2026 (Wednesday). Under the guidance of our pastry chefs, participants can enjoy the casual experience of rolling dough, skewering it, and decorating it. For the finishing touches, they can drizzle our hotel's homemade mitarashi (sweet soy glaze) sauce, and add colorful toppings such as matcha, mango, cranberries, and dried pineapple to create their own unique kushi dango. The joy of creating with one's own hands and savoring the freshly made treats will naturally foster conversation between parents and children. Each session is held in small groups, offering a relaxed atmosphere in our elegant lounge space. This experience also provides hints for arranging kushi dango at home, perfect for enjoying again during the Moon-viewing festival in September.

Immerse yourselves in a sweet moment woven by parents and children, enveloped in the gentle summer light by the lake.

About the "Freshly Made Kushi Dango Experience ~A Summer Moment for Parents and Children~"

To enrich guests' stays during the summer vacation, we have prepared a familiar and enjoyable hands-on experience: making dango. While the process is simple, the appeal lies in the fun and sense of accomplishment gained from shaping it with your own hands. For the dango, you can enjoy personalized arrangements with our homemade mitarashi sauce, Shiga-grown matcha sauce, summery mango sauce, and toppings like cranberries and dried pineapple. Our pastry chefs will provide guidance on techniques for finishing and beautifully piping the sauces, ensuring even first-time participants can enjoy the experience. We hope this will be a memorable moment, creating lasting summer memories.
