Mizu
Shingen Mochi 水信玄饼 (
Japanese Water Cake) a
famous desserts in Japanese and Korea has finally reached JB. Mizu shingen mocha
is looks like a suspended water drop but it was actually a
cake. It was usually topped with fine peanut and brown sugar sauce.
Yokosuka
Curry House is the first stall to introduce this popular Japanese cake into Johor
bahru (JB). It has launched in two flavours – Original (brown sugar sauce) or
the Matcha flavour. In the past, to enjoy this dessert, you have to travel to
either Japan or Korea, but now, u no longer have to do so. All you have to do
is to travel to JB (city square).
The
first Yokosuka Curry House was located at City Square level 3 Innercity. It is
in the directly opposite wongkok restaurant. It was a very compact stall where
there is about 5 seats surrounding the stall.
Yokosuka
Curry House was famous for its Japanese curry set meals. But this introduction
of mizu shingen further fuels its popularity. But the time we reach at 4pm, we
bought the last mizu shingen. Do pop by early for a try of this japanese water
cake.
The
Japanese water cake was prepared beforehand by the chef. So what he did was to
pour the water cake to the boat like plate before topping it up with the sauce
and peanuts.
Do
note that the water cake will disintegrate with 30 mins at room temperature, so
consume it fast before it is gone.
The
water cake taste was rather tasteless. The only flavour you taste was the brown
sugar syrup or the matcha syrup. It existed by a jelly. It pretty much exists
like water being solidified by the “maker of mizu shingen mocha” insisted that
it was a cake. The fine peanut and the syrup helps to add flavour to the cake
so do remember to ensure that every bite was filled with the toppings.

If
you were to ask me which flavour is nicer, I would say that brown sugar flavour
was nicer as it match the peanut better. But both taste equally similar. It was
a dish to try once in a lifetime, but to be honest; its taste was rather bland
and normal.
