What is the name of this Japanese cake, and how do you make it?

I went to a Japanese restaurant called Tokyo-One yesterday and had one of there cakes that I can't seem to get enough of. I believe it was a white sponge cake and then a Strawberry moose on top and some kind of red gel. I found a picture of it on there website...

http://tokyo-one.com/menu_dessert.html

It is in the middle row, third from the left. It seems they make other kinds that they are showing.

Does anyone know the name of this cake and/or how to make it?

Thank you!

Update:

If wasn't a fruit topping though, it was a strawberry mousse.

    I would call it "strawberry mousse cake" or "strawberry mirror cake".

    It also can be framboise (raspberry) not strawberry.
