Warabimochi Kamakura in Mandaluyong: Home of the Famous Japanese Warabimochi
Warabimochi Kamakura located at SM Megamall in Madaluyong offers warabimochi, a traditional Japanese delicacy once enjoyed by royalty warabimochi-infused beverages. Established in Kamakura, Japan in 1991, Warabimochi Kamakura began as a modern twist on the beloved traditional sweet.
Warabimochi is made from warabi (bracken starch) instead of rice, which gives it a unique bouncy, jelly-like texture. It is traditionally served with kinako (roasted soybean flour) and kuromitsu (Japanese black sugar syrup), this delicacy is a must-try for anyone looking new dessert experience.

They also offer warabimochi-infused beverages such as hojicha, lemonade, and rich chocolate strawberry. Be sure to watch out for limited-edition seasonal drinks!
