| There is a proverb related to Hanami Dango "Hana yori Dango"(to prefer dango to hana); it originates from people attracted much more to dango or parties at hanami events than to 'hana' (the cherry blossoms) which are supposed to be the main things at the events. |
本来メインである花見よりその際に食べる団子（それに付随する酒宴）に興味を持つ様に由来する、「花より団子」のことわざがある。 |
