Raindrop cake is actually called “Mizu Shingen Mochi” in Japanese. It is a jelly-like dessert made from water and agar powder and it looks just like a giant raindrop. The dessert originated in Yamanashi prefecture, which has a Japanese sweets shop that first sold this dessert.
To serve, gently remove the Raindrop Cake from the mold and place on a plate. Add a healthy amount of syrup and kinako on the side. The best way to eat it is to generously cover the Raindrop Cake with the Kinako powder, then drizzle the syrup on top then eat it with a spoon.
