Kitchen205, famous for its Strawberry Field Cake, will be selling its Fig Field Cake, featuring figs, as a limited edition until the end of October. Not only is fig flesh used on the exterior, but also inside the cake, enhancing its unique texture. Elise de Gungjeon, a new premium cake brand launched by Gungjeon Bakery, is offering a fig fresh cream cake made with animal-based fresh cream and fresh fruit.

There are also convenient fig desserts available, including fresh chocolate mochi and traditional red bean mochi.

He added, "We hope many people will visit Gwangju Shinsegae, where a variety of foods and entertainment experiences await."
