Four Seasons Hotel Seoul debuts two premium summer bingsu creations by new executive pastry chef Steven Jin, available now until Sept. 30 at Maru Lounge.

The Maru bingsu at 89,000 won offers a refined take on red bean layered with matcha and vanilla cream, with a hanok-inspired chocolate garnish. A combo with both is available at a 10 percent discount.

Desserts are gluten-free with milk-based shaved ice, available daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
