This cake looks and taste exactly like a drop of water and gives a unique and refreshing experience in the mouth. Although it was earlier only available in Japan, it has now made its debut in the US.

Darren Wong, who has brought this light and delicate raindrop cake to the US, said that it took a lot of trial and error to get the right consistency. The cake needed to have the texture of water and also maintain its shape, which makes it a nightmare to store and transport.

Served with roasted soybean flour and sugar syrup, it looks just like a drop from the heavens.

Whoever tried this unique dessert took to social media to share their own good and bad experiences.

From being a tasteless blob of water to a silicon breast implant, this raindrop cake has been called everything. Here’s how social media food critics reacted to this raindrop cake.

Love it or hate it, it surely is a rare dessert that promises to offer the taste buds an exciting treat. We wait for the day when we can try it in India as well.
