On a day so hot that a drop of sweat is dripping down my face, I can't help but think of cool and sweet ice cream. Regular ice cream is too sweet and makes me thirsty after eating it. “Gelato†is a base made from milk and eggs with less sugar and artificial sweeteners, and is perfect for quenching summer thirst. Depending on the ingredients, thousands of flavors are created, adding to the fun of picking and eating. Here are 5 of the best new gelato restaurants that are chewy.
1. 'Excellent Salon' in Donggyo-dong, Seoul, with Korean flavors

The “Excellent Salon†uses antique props such as mother-of-pearl, folding screen, and red trays to create an old-fashioned feel. Local foods such as Udo peanuts, Gongju egg balm, and Goheung sweet pumpkin are used as main ingredients. It is characterized by using rice starch and organic raw sugar to reduce the sugar content as much as possible and make the most of the natural flavor of the ingredients. They also sell wine and homemade cheese spreads, so it's a great place to go with a drink.
