As a lover of black sesame and proud owner of slightly more than “a few” strands of white hair, it was imperative that I get this!!! Just kidding, I’ve heard rave reviews about this place and simply had to try it for myself.
With a HUGE scoop of azuki and thick layer of both black sesame and kinako powder coating the shaved ice, they’re undeniably generous with their toppings 🤤 The ice base was light and fluffy, with flecks that gently melted on my tongue like snowflakes...it wasn’t as milky as I’d have liked, though I believe that’s a matter of personal taste. Strangely, what impressed me the most was the kinako mochi! Soft, sticky and chewy, without the dreaded overly floury taste I usually associate with mochi 😂 All in all, a well rounded bowl of bingsoo, worthy of the hefty price tag!
