For dessert there is Froyo featuring daechu (jujube) frozen yogurt, dehydrated Korean dates, and fig compote; and Ice Cream inspired by an old-school Korean chestnut ice cream favorite known as “Babam Bar” with honey crisp compote and chestnut cream.

An optional sool (alcohol) pairing, featuring wine, beer and Korean soju, is available for an additional $105.
