From a brief history of the so called cake:
Shingen is actually a name of Japan's famous warlords, SHINGEN TAKEDA. It's an old tradition to put mochi covered with soy bean powder and brown sugar syrup on every household of a Buddhist altar during the BON FESTIVAL. Shingen-mochi was born from a local culture and use the name Shingen as their sign of respect as they marketed the product.

The sensation of eating water cake was a bit surprising, since it felt like the cake turned into water into your mouth, but it was delicious.
