Warabimochi Kamakura, the wildly popular Japanese dessert chain, sets foot in Singapore on February 3. Its first outlet is located at the newly opened and pet-friendly One Holland Village, while its second store will be unveiled at Taste Orchard around end February.
The chain specialises in warabimochi, a type of mochi that is made from bracken starch, which gives it a silky smooth and lighter texture as compared to regular mochi. Warabimochi Kamakura is also one of the earlier chains to popularise the warabimochi dessert-drink combination, where classic beverage flavours like matcha and coffee milk are topped with warabimochi pieces instead of your usual tapioca pearls. The drinks come with a homemade whipped cream topping which is freshly made on-site daily.
Best-selling flavours include the Strawberry Milk or Yogurt (from $7.70), Asakawa-en Matcha (from $5.90), Coffee Milk (from $5.90) and Tenku No Hojicha (from $5.90). Customers can enjoy the opening 1-for-1 promotion on these drink flavours, available from 3-5 February at One Holland Village. The promotion can be redeemed by following @kamakura_singapore on Instagram, and is limited to two redemptions per person.
Apart from drinks, customers can also snack on hand-cut warabimochi pieces (from $7.90) which are made fresh daily and topped with kinako (soybean) powder, or warabimochi cups (from $3.90) served with or without ice cream.
