No, not really. It is more fusion. It is a variation of bibingka. It originated from the Chinese that migrated and brought it to the Philippines. The Filipinos brought it to Hawaii. The Japanese in Hawaii adopted it and called it butter mochi. This is more of a Filipino Chinese rice cake which the Japanese adopted it.
