Inspired by traditional Japanese Mizu Shingen Mochi, The Raindrop Cake is the product of New York City–based chef Darren Wong, making this intriguing Japanese cult dessert from mineral water and gelatin (or agar) and served with roasted soybean flour and sugar cane syrup. “It’s a light, delicate and refreshing raindrop made for your mouth” Im curious to taste it now!
“There are very few foods that engage this many senses at the same time,” Wong says, “which is what attracted me to this dessert in the first place.”
