## History, Origin, and Related Events
”Yudedago” is a corrupted form of the term “yudedango” and refers to sweets made from wheat flour and brown sugar. It is sometimes called “flat dago.” In Saga Prefecture, double cropping has long been practiced, and since wheat was grown after the rice was harvested, many farmers constantly had home-grown wheat flour and rice flour on hand. Therefore, they were often used for daily meals and easy-to-make snacks, and “yudedago” is one of such local dishes. It is common to boil flattened wheat flour dough and sprinkle it with brown sugar, but sometimes, boiled pumpkin, spinach, or mugwort is mixed into the dough, or red bean paste is wrapped inside it.

## Opportunities and Times of Eating Habits
“Yudedago”, made using wheat flour that farmers often had on hand, is a snack eaten in between farm work and was often eaten as a supplement for meals when there was not enough rice. It is said that in the Takeo district, it was often eaten during breaks during rice planting. It was also sometimes served at festivals.

## How to Eat
Mix flour with boiling water and knead until the dough is about as hard as an earlobe. Tear up the kneaded dough and place it in boiling water to boil. After boiling, throw away the boiling water, add brown sugar, and mix. The shape of the dough differs from household to household, such as tsunkiidago and kobangata. If you crush porridge into the dough and mix them together, it will remain soft even after a long time. It is also made with rice flour such as kanzarashiko and is sometimes eaten with sugared soy sauce as well. White sugar or boiled sugar can be used instead of brown sugar, but brown sugar is more flavorful and delicious.
