Magazine: Japan, you are so sweet

Cake from water – only the Japanese can make something like this. It looks a bit like traditional Japanese sweet mochi and it is served with a sugar syrup and kinako, roasted soybean flour that is often served with other types of mochi.

Another sweet miracle from Japan is kokedama ice cream, which was inspired by moss balls and invented by the pastry chef of Oirase Keiryu Hotel. It is made from matcha ice cream, covered with spinach powder and then served with green apple puree.
