On a date visit, the pistachio Bronte D.O.P., Venezuelan dark chocolate, Andong white pearl rice and pure milk chocolate chip flavors all tasted rich in ingredients with a clean finish. Damgeum Gelato Misa Branch suits anyone looking for low-sugar gelato that still tastes deep. ## Good to know - **Parking**: Park in the building and pick up a parking voucher at the store - **Gelato tried**: Pistachio Bronte D.O.P., Venezuelan dark chocolate, Andong white pearl rice, pure milk chocolate chip *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* ![Main photo of Damgeum Gelato Misa Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish-01-ubc4x-1200.webp) I love gelato, so whenever I hear a place is good, I tend to go check it out. This time I was searching around Misa and came across Damgeum Gelato Misa Branch (담금젤라또 미사점). ![A visit scene at Damgeum Gelato Misa Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish-02-ha0tv-900.webp) ![Interior of Damgeum Gelato Misa Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish-03-18yo3-900.webp) ## A date visit to Damgeum Gelato Misa Branch in Hanam I went as a date as well, and even though I've eaten a fair amount of gelato in my life, this place felt a bit different the moment I walked in. ![Store space with gelato descriptions](https://img.superchart.com/images/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish-04-3eid7-900.webp) ![Interior view of Damgeum Gelato Misa Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish-05-qmb51-900.webp) There was so much explanation about the gelato that I was already looking forward to it before even taking a bite. > Certified by the Italian government — that made me even more curious Parking was easy — you park in the building and pick up a parking voucher at the store. Damgeum Gelato is certified by the Italian government, and it's made directly by a gelatiere trained professionally in Italy. ![Information about professional gelato training](https://img.superchart.com/images/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish-06-1tkrw-900.webp) ![Store information display at Damgeum Gelato](https://img.superchart.com/images/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish-07-csgpo-900.webp) Honestly, I'm not the type to assume something is delicious just because of certifications or credentials. But once I actually tasted it, I understood why they talk about the ingredients so much. If you love gelato, hearing that kind of explanation just raises your expectations, haha. ## How the four gelato flavors tasted together > The four flavors I was curious about That day I tried pistachio Bronte D.O.P., Venezuelan dark chocolate, Andong white pearl rice, and pure milk chocolate chip — four flavors total. Some were familiar, like pistachio and dark chocolate, but others really stood out, like Andong white pearl rice. I also thought it was interesting how they use Korean ingredients within an Italian-style gelato. Trying several flavors together instead of sticking to just one made Damgeum's style come through much more clearly. > The flavor was intense from the very first bite My first thought after tasting it was, "Wow, this is rich." ![A set of four gelato flavors](https://img.superchart.com/images/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish-08-yngt9-900.webp) ![Pistachio and dark chocolate gelato](https://img.superchart.com/images/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish-09-r206k-900.webp) ![Andong white pearl rice gelato](https://img.superchart.com/images/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish-10-1vh7l-900.webp) ![Pure milk chocolate chip gelato](https://img.superchart.com/images/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish-11-16hr0-900.webp) It wasn't just intensely sweet — you could really taste the ingredients themselves. And strangely, after eating it, the aftertaste was really clean. With rich ice cream, a few bites in and the sweetness can linger in your mouth until you get sick of it. ![Trying several gelato flavors together](https://img.superchart.com/images/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish-12-19qqv-900.webp) ![A rich-flavored gelato set](https://img.superchart.com/images/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish-13-17ou3-900.webp) With Damgeum, even switching between all four flavors didn't feel like a burden. Rich flavor, clean finish — that's what I liked most. ## Why low-sugar gelato at Damgeum Gelato still tastes rich > Why it's low-sugar but still tastes rich As I ate, I noticed the gelato was melting faster than I expected. ![Gelato melting](https://img.superchart.com/images/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish-14-c57di-900.webp) ![Eating the low-sugar gelato](https://img.superchart.com/images/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish-15-biu74-900.webp) So I asked about it out of curiosity. They explained that this isn't gelato sweetened with sugar substitutes — it's genuinely low in sugar itself. As they reduce the sugar and fat, they add more of the actual ingredients to make up for the flavor. Ah, that's why it tasted so rich, I thought. I've had other low-sugar ice creams before, and a lot of the time they were pricier but the flavor was just so-so, so I never went back. But Damgeum was different. Before I even heard the word "low-sugar," my first thought was simply that it was delicious gelato. ## Why Damgeum Gelato serves gelato in a chilled bowl > The reason for the chilled bowl Eating in the store, they served it in a bowl that had been kept cold in the fridge. ![Gelato served in a chilled bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish-16-1izc7-900.webp) ![Chilled bowl used to serve gelato](https://img.superchart.com/images/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish-17-1a8kr-900.webp) This surprised me at first too. They said low-sugar gelato is more sensitive to temperature and can melt a bit faster than regular gelato. Seeing them use a chilled bowl specifically made me curious about just how much they care about temperature. And sure enough, as I ate it, it did melt a bit faster. Once I heard the explanation about the low-sugar recipe and temperature, the chilled bowl I noticed at the start finally made sense. You could really feel their care for the gelato in these small details. ## Is Damgeum Gelato worth it for gelato in Misa, Hanam? They also mentioned they're running a Wadiz crowdfunding campaign for pint products so people can enjoy it at home. After trying it in the store, I thought keeping some at home wouldn't be a bad idea at all. ![Information on pint gelato for home enjoyment](https://img.superchart.com/images/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish-18-1knvr-900.webp) If you're looking for a dessert café in Hanam, or if you love gelato and like hopping around different spots, Damgeum Gelato Misa Branch is worth a visit. It's especially well suited to people who prefer gelato with rich ingredient flavor and a clean finish, rather than the overly sweet, chewy style. ![Gelato with a clean finish](https://img.superchart.com/images/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish-19-1v6tk-900.webp) ![Gelato at a Hanam dessert café](https://img.superchart.com/images/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish-20-1hb1f-900.webp) ![Sharing several gelato flavors together](https://img.superchart.com/images/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish-21-1dg8q-900.webp) It was also great to come with someone who loves gelato so we could pick out different flavors and share. It had been a while since I enjoyed such good gelato, and I had a really nice date on top of it. :) ## Where it is - Damgeum Gelato Misa Branch (담금젤라또 미사점) - 290-3 Misagangbyeonhangang-ro, Mono Lounge Unit 128, Hanam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 하남시 미사강변한강로 290-3 모노라운지 128호 - 37.5641938, 127.1970005 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8B%B4%EA%B8%88%EC%A0%A4%EB%9D%BC%EB%98%90%20%EB%AF%B8%EC%82%AC%EC%A0%90/@37.5641938,127.1970005,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@mirror-meal-market/misa-low-sugar-gelato-clean-finish/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
