I hope you enjoyed today’s video and recipe. My Baby Girl and I had so much fun making this Sakura Raindrop Cake together! I think my girl is ready to take over the kitchen, real soon! Last but not least, I’ll list all the tools and ingredients used in this recipe for your convenience. Of course, it adds a beautiful visual presentation to this treat as well. The Sakura reminds me of salty, sour plum (話梅) with a hint of floral aroma. However, the pickled Sakura adds a nice tartness and saltiness to the cake. The edible gold leaf is tasteless and simply for decorative purposes. As the cake itself is really mild, the Black Sugar Syrup adds the perfect sweetness and earthiness while the Soy Bean Flour accentuate it with a nice toasty and nutty aroma to the palate. They are the perfect company to this dessert. But when you can make it at home, it only costs a fraction of the price and you can splurge on other luxury ingredients such as gold leaf and sakura!Īs I mentioned earlier, this dessert is served with black sugar syrup and soy bean flour. Normally, a piece of the traditional Raindrop Cake costs $8 USD (in NYC). To elevate it to the next level, I added a few freckles of edible gold leaf. Then, I further transformed this gorgeous and whimsical treat with the addition of my favorite Japanese ingredient, Pickled Sakura (cherry blossom). I tested out the recipe with the traditional plain one. Of course, I can’t just stop at the traditional Raindrop Cake. Or maybe it got its name from its appearance because the cake itself looks like a gigantic raindrop landed on the plate! Each bite simply melts in your mouth, like swallowing raindrops. This Raindrop Cake is a chilled dessert that is super dreamy and gorgeous. Traditionally, it is served with black sugar syrup called Kuromitsu and a roasted soy flour called Kinako. There’s no batter and no baking involved! A Raindrop Cake is a dessert made from water and agar agar powder (a vegan substitute of gelatin powder, obtained from algae). Technically, the Raindrop Cake isn’t really a “cake” per se. The cake is served with a sticky sweet molasses syrup (Kuromitsu) and kinako roasted soybean flour for dipping.Ĭherry blossom raindrop cake | A bite of water with a touch of springHave you ever tried the Raindrop Cake, which is definitely the latest trendy dessert? It’s a very popular dessert in Japan and was recently introduced to the Western world. Yamagoya’s recipe has been carefully developed to produce a crystal clear cake, made from special agar powder which can only be found in Japan to give clarity. In May 2017, Yamagoya, brought the Raindrop Cake to London for the first time, adding just 20 to the menu each day. In 2016 we spotted the first ‘ bite of water’ or raindrop cake in New York at the outdoor market Smorgasburg. Masatoshi spent 3 years tirelessly perfecting recipes on his customers before settling on the delicately balanced flavour of his kaeshi marinade, the marination of his chashu and the taste and texture of his noodle, these recipes have been a long kept family secret for three generations. About restaurant Yamagoyaįounded in 1969 by Masatoshi Ogata, Yamagoya originated from humble beginnings in Fukuoka, Japan. At Yamagoya we have brought the festival to London and created a dessert in homage to the national flower of Japan”, says co-founder Fah. “I used to travel to Japan for hanami as a child, it’s my favourite time of year and a beautiful festival. Served with a sticky sweet molasses syrup (Kuromitsu) and kinako roasted soybean flour for dipping, the dish challenges the senses, as it melts in the mouth, and disappears to leave a floral and refreshing finish. Inspired by the cult Japanese dish, mizu shingen mochi and made in the shape of a water droplet, Yamagoya’s raindrop cake recipe will feature a cherry blossom flower at its center. The cherry blossom raindrop cake will be available from Monday the 19 th of March up to the 19 th of April. This year restaurant Yamagoya, the ramen specialists from Fukuoka, Japan, are launching a limited-edition cherry blossom raindrop cake for Hanami, the Japanese festival celebrating the arrival of spring. We keep wondering how a raindrop cake does taste! We wrote about them before, we spotted them in New York City and last year in London at restaurant Yamagoya.
