Raindrop Cake (Mizu Shingen Mochi 水信玄餅)

One night a few months ago, my husband showed me a video of this fun little dessert. I watched the video and I found it is an easy dessert that I can make any time. Yesterday was my husband's birthday celebration party. I made him a Sashimi sushi cake as birthday cake. And I made Oreo Earl Grey ice cream sandwich and Iron Buddha Panna Cotta as dessert. Since it is a Bbq party, I don't have to cook anything. Sushi cake was made in early afternoon and the other two desserts were prepared a head of time. And it is still a few hours before the party starts, I decided to make this little fun dessert.

Texture should not be too hard. It should be clear and soft.

Ingredient: (Makes 6 domes)

1g (~1/2 tsp) Agar agar Powder
1g sugar (optional)
450ml water

Kinako (soy bean flour)

Kuromitsu (brown sugar syrup)

Direction:

1. Mix Agar agar, sugar and water together in a saucepan and bring it to a boil until all agar agar dissolved.
2. Pour dissolved agar powder water to dome mold. It can make 6 domes.
3. Refrigerate until it settled.
4. Served with Kuromitsu brown sugar syrup (I substitute it with Maple syrup because I don't have Kuromitsu at that moment) and Kinako (Soy bean flour).
