I am in love with shaved ice. I have a sweet tooth, but I find western cakes, creme brulees etc a little too rich and sweet for my liking. This is where asian desserts step in and take all my money from me. I've only had shaved ice at sugar marmalade so that style is what I'm used to. But this bingsu was so fluffy and beautiful omg. My friend and I ordered the green tea bingsu to share (came to about $10) and we were both in love with it. There was a generous amount of matcha powder sprinkled on top and once you dig your spoon in, it reveals ice shaved so finely it was like snow. If we had sneezed, I'm sure half our bingsu would've flown away.
I was pleasantly surprised with the texture and taste of it though. Although it may have partially been because my friend mixed it incredibly well, but it tasted so good. I initially thought we would be okay sharing the small size, but in the end I wish I had it all to myself. The mochi pieces were delicious, different from the japanese style I'm used to but still the same great chewy texture. I wish there was more mochi at the bottom too though. If I'm back in the area, I definitely will be coming back to try more flavors! The place was pretty full when we got there, mostly filled with uni students on a saturday night. There were only 3 staff working, and they were more than happy to add more shaved ice when I had requested no red bean since we weren't fans.
