I always wanted to try the Mizu Shingen Mochi from Japan. The raindrop cake was just kind of there as a filler since it didn't taste like anything at all.ĪS CLOSE AS I CAN GET TO THE MIZU SHINGEN MOCHI FROM JAPAN I actually really love the powder (It's commonly used on Korean shaved snow desserts and Japanese mochi!) and loved pairing it with the brown sugar. So basically the only flavors you'd taste are the sugar and powder. According to the shop, it's made from spring water. I wasn't sure what to expect but I honestly thought it would have flavor. JUST WATER.Īlright, so this jelly-like thing that looks exactly like a clear and clean raindrop that's probably from the purest clouds eva.

It just kind of cracked a bit and moved like jelly.

Except, when we poked it, it didn't actually break into water.
#WHERE TO BUY RAINDROP CAKE MOVIE#
You know how when it rains and in that Pixar movie A BUGS LIFE, all the close-ups on the rain droplets showering on the ants looked pretty cool? And bubbly and big? Well, Kevin and I kind of felt like ants poking at a raindrop. It is served with a bean powder (?) and brown sugar syrup! This Raindrop Cake is inspired by the Mizu Shingen Mochi and is almost the same, but of course it's the creator, Darren Wong's take on it. Mon-Sun: 11.30am - 10.30pm.Okay, once I saw this advertised to debut at the Brooklyn Smorgasburg event I knew I had to try it! It is Mizu Shingen Mochi! Okay.

Yamagoya will open on the Cut on Monday 9 October, available to eat in, takeaway or deliver. Yamagoya’s Japanese sandwiches will include fillings of chicken katsu (£5.00) or chicken chashu (£5.00) will be available to takeaway. Plus, an array of new rice dishes: ‘Charishi’, a colourful sushi bowl with salmon and avocado and ‘mentaiko gohan’, spicy cod roe rice bowl. Snacks and starters on the menu will include: Hijiki Seaweed and edamame salad (£1.75) cold tofu dressed in a cold fish and spring onion dressing (£2.50) chicken karaage with yuzu mayo (£3.50). Japanese flavoured ice creams will include matcha mochi, black sesame mochi and green tea. Yamagoya’s recipe uses agar powder (apparently only found in Japan) which gives it its unusual translucence it is served with kuromitsu (molasses syrup) and kinako (roasted soybean flour) for dipping. The dessert is inspired by the cult Japanese dish, mizu shingen mochi. Made in the shape of a water droplet, the completely clear dessert melts into liquid once in the mouth. The Instagrammable raindrop cake, which debuted in London at Yamagoya in May this year, will be a permanent feature on the menu and will can be infused with matcha.
