Summer only! Pulled "mizu-shingenmochi" (water shingen cake)

Mizu-Shingenmochi" is only available in summer!

When talking about souvenirs from Yamanashi, many people may imagine "Shingenmochi," a rice cake confection covered with soybean flour and brown sugar. This time, we would like to introduce "mizu-shingenmochi," a very popular Japanese confectionery created by Kinseiken, a long-established Japanese confectionery store that produces Shingenmochi. This extremely rare sweet is only available in Yamanashi, and moreover, only in summer.

Consumption is only 30 minutes! Water Shingenmochi, a sweet made from water

The secret of the clear and transparent "mizu-shingenmochi" lies in the water used. The water used is the water from the Kai Komagatake Mountains, which has been selected as one of the 100 best waters in Japan. It is also famous as natural water from the Southern Alps. In addition, the kinako (soybean flour) and kuromitsu (brown sugar) used for the mizu-shingenmochi are both specially made by Kinseiken. The soybean flour is grown by Kinseiken in a nearby field and is said to be freshly made!

Mizu-Shingen mochi is made with only a small amount of agar, enough to turn back into water in the mouth. Therefore, the water Shingen mochi remains as close to water as possible, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is "eating water. Please enjoy it as soon as you receive it! It is a truly rare treat that you can only have if you come to Yamanashi.

Message from Kinseiken

This is the ultimate mizu-gashi (water confectionery), with agar so slight that it turns back to water in the mouth, and contains the best water in Japan to the utmost limit. It can be kept as close to water as possible for approximately 30 minutes. This is the reason why it is called "30 minutes for consumption. Please enjoy the "ultimate" texture with the gentle flavor of green soybean kinako (soybean flour) that we grow with our own hands. We are proud of the softness of the dough.
