They don't call it kakagori in Korea (though they do in Japan, where I was first introduced to this treat), but they sure do know how to prepare and serve it.
Kakagori. Or finely shaved ice, with a flavor shot poured over it, and as an extra treat a bit of sweet and condensed milk. In Korea, I stopped a little local spot called Beans and Berries at the train station on my way from Seoul to Pohang with a colleague. For a light snack, we thought.
Oh no. It was far more than that. And far better. She had a mango kakagori, and I had a berry kakagori. They were enormous. Shaved ice, with sweet and condensed milk, but also with fresh fruit, and a small scoop of incredibly rich vanilla ice cream on top. Truly a treat :)
I will have to keep an eye out for this place while in Seoul. Its great (all I have to do is find one near my favorite hotel, and beyond the train station so I can have regular visits...)

Doesn't that look amazing? It WAS amazing. And of course, because that is good, but perhaps not so adventurous, I leave you with this advertisement from the Korean Baskin Robbins. For Cafe Bris. Um, thanks, but no thanks.
