Few things offer a sweeter escape from Korea's hot, humid summer than a bowl of bingsu. Made with ice shaved as fine and light as fresh snow, Korea's signature summer dessert comes in countless varieties - from timeless classics topped with sweet red beans, condensed milk and chewy injeolmi rice cakes to modern creations featuring fresh seasonal fruit, rich matcha and silky cream.


Sampling different styles is part of the fun for locals and visitors alike, and bingsu's eye-catching presentation makes each bowl as enjoyable to photograph as it is to eat.


To help readers find some of Busan's best bingsu, the Blue Ribbon Survey - Korea's first restaurant guide - recommends nine establishments known for their distinctive takes on the dessert. Head out and grab a bowl or two. After all, the hotter the summer gets, the more refreshing every spoonful becomes.
