Hanayo #609: Thanks for the Red Bean Soup
Ai
Mmm! These dango dumplings are so good!
Hanayo
*Giggle* They're to say thanks for everything that you've done lately. I'm so glad you like them!
Ai
It's not often you get to eat dumplings as good as these!
Hanayo
I was really impressed when I first tried them as well. I'm so pleased that you had the same reaction!
Ai
You're a total connoisseur! Leave it to you to know about cool places like this!
Hanayo
I-I am?!
Hanayo
Aw, you'll make me blush if you put it like that! I'm always going to places that use rice in their treats since I like white rice so much, that's all.
Ai
That sounds just like the thing you'd do. Still, these dumplings are a bit different from regular ones, aren't they? I can't put my finger on why though.
Hanayo
You could tell?!
Ai
Eek?!
Hanayo
I just knew you'd notice! You knew about that incredibly delicious sweet red bean soup, after all!
Ai
H-Hang on a sec, Hanayo, what's the big deal?! Why are you craning your neck forward like that?
Hanayo
Um, sorry! These dumplings were made with a very particular type of rice, and I'm just ecstatic that you noticed!
Hanayo
This place uses a special kind of rice that they developed with the farm they're partnered with. They make incredibly delicious mochi and mochi balls too!
Hanayo
The red bean soup we had at the party seemed to be made with super delicious rice too. That's why I wanted to share these dumplings with you!
Ai
Hanayo the rice fiend comes in clutch again! Seriously, everything is so good here that I wish I could take it all home with me! Though I probably shouldn't eat so MUCH-i!
Hanayo
*Laugh* You can say that again!
Ai
Hey, let's eat a bunch since we're here! What are you gonna get, Hanayo?
Hanayo
Ooh, we should! Let's see… I'll go with the red bean dumplings first! And next, I think I'll have the dumplings with a sweet soy glaze.
