Japanese confectionery stall famous for silky warabimochi and matcha lattes.
Warabimochi Kamakura brings a beloved Japanese sweet to JEM's basement level, serving silky warabimochi dusted with fragrant kinako and drizzled with brown-sugar syrup. The texture is distinctly soft and jelly-like, a refreshing change from the chewier mochi typically found in Singapore. Pair your treat with a matcha latte or hojicha drink for a fully Japanese teatime experience. The stall keeps its menu concise, focusing on quality rather than quantity. Each portion is made fresh throughout the day, so the warabimochi retains its signature bouncy lightness. It is an ideal stop for dessert after a meal upstairs, or as a quick pick-me-up while browsing the mall. Fans of Japanese wagashi will appreciate the authenticity here. The combination of subtle sweetness and aromatic roasted soya powder makes this a standout confectionery option in Jurong East.Operating Hours

One of the best drinks I have drank!! The sweetness of the mochi and the plain tea, the mixture is AWESOME!! Staff were really kind to help us find directions. Definitely recommend it and I would definitely come back again.

The Warabimochi had a delightfully jelly-like but lightly chewy and soft texture. On its own it is fairly tasteless. There was a generous dusting of toasted soya bean flour (looks like finely crushed peanut). It comes with a tiny serving of kuromitsu which is the brown sugar syrup. Although a few drops of the brown sugar syrup was sufficient for each serving, I did prefer a bit more syrup. I’d recommend chilling this in the fridge for a little before serving.

Very nice warabimochi and matcha drinks. Very Japanese taste and same as in Japan. Warabimochi is also soft and tasty. Very good quality and I am surprised that we can eat such good Warabimochi in Singapore!
