It first became popular in Japan in 2014, and later gained international attention. HistoryOriginally a Japanese dessert known as mizu shingen mochi (水信玄餅), the dish was first created by Kinseiken Seika Company in Yamanashi Prefecture near Tokyo, Japan in 2014.[1] Mizu means water and shingen mochi is a type of sweet rice cake (mochi) made by the Kinseiken company.[2] The year prior in 2013, the creator wanted to explore the idea of making edible water.[2] The dessert became a viral sensation and people made special trips to experience the dish.[1] Darren Wong introduced the dish to the United States in New York City at the April 2016 Smorgasburg food fair.[1][3][4] Shortly after, London restaurant Yamagoya worked four months to develop another version.[1] DescriptionThe dish is made from mineral water and agar; thus, it has practically no calories.[1][3][4] The water from the original dish was obtained from Mount Kaikoma of the Southern Japanese Alps, and it has been described as having a sweet taste.[2] The agar is a vegetarian/vegan alternative to gelatin that is made from seaweed.[3][5] After being heated, it is molded and cooled.[3] A molasses-like syrup, called kuromitsu, and soybean flour, called kinako, are used as toppings.[1][3][4] The dish appears like a transparent raindrop, although it has also been compared to breast implants and jellyfish.[1][3] The largely tasteless dessert melts when it enters the mouth and it must be eaten immediately or it will melt and begin to evaporate after twenty minutes.[4][1] The dessert is also sold in kits to be made at home.[5] It has been showcased on The Today Show, BuzzFeed and ABC News.[5] See also
