Waterdrop Cake (Mizushingen Mochi) is a Japanese dessert that resembles a transparent water droplet jelly. Its main ingredients are water and agar, with sugar or syrup added for sweetness.

Waterdrop Cake first gained popularity in Japan in 2014 and has since become known worldwide. Its popularity is attributed to its unique shape and texture. The transparent water droplet appearance offers visual delight, while its chewy texture gives a melting sensation in the mouth.

There are various ways to enjoy Waterdrop Cake. It can be eaten as is, or served with fruits and syrup. It's also used as a topping for cakes and ice cream.

Waterdrop Cake tastes even better in cool weather. It's popular as a summer dessert, but recently it has become a treat enjoyed all year round.

The method of making Waterdrop Cake is simple. Water and agar are mixed and boiled, then sweetened with sugar or syrup. Once set, it's cut into the desired shape to serve.
