In Japan, the Kinseiken Seika Company has created a rice cake that looks like a water droplet, which melts in your mouth.
This treat is a special type of rice cake, which is known as “shingen mochi”. It is sprinkled with soybean powder and is eaten with brown sugar syrup. Unlike this unique dessert, normal mochis are usually yellow in color.
This special dessert was made with water from the Southern Japanese Alps, which was lightly sweetened and solidified to make it look like a water droplet. The “mizu shingen mochi” can retain its shape for up to 30 minutes before melting, so customers are advised to eat it in the shop as it cannot be taken home.
Mizu shingen mochis were a hit last year, and it looks like the company has brought them back due to popular demand.
What do you think—would you try this intriguing snack?
