Seoul is ice cream land – so many kinds of ice cream yet it’s hard to come across one that you wouldn’t like. Even convenience store ice cream is fantastic. If it’s your mission to try every kind of ice cream in Seoul, you better try each kind once you see it as there’s plenty to taste.
Cane ice cream is one of the recent additions to Seoul’s ice cream collection. It is a huge cane-shaped rice cracker filled with ice cream. Then, there is their massive sundae twirl in variants such as green tea and vanilla. A classic favorite is ice cream sandwiched between fish-shaped waffles – cute and refreshing!
