Hello Everyone! Today Blogsters bring you to Seoul Korea for a unique DIY juice experience. Located inside DDP's market section, beesket is part of a food court along with other bakery and tea shops. The vibrant colors and bee hive motifs in this juice shop are hard to miss!


  At beesket you get to create your own juice flavor. First off, there are 2 types of juice to choose from- Regular (pink plastic beesket) which is a juice with all the pulp blended in and Squeezed (green plastic beesket) which is pure juice and has no pulp. With around 30 fruits and veggies to choose from, choosing only 3 is definitely not easy. [According to beesket's website they have 92!] To make your decision easier, calorie and nutritional information is provided for each flavor at the capsule station. 

Beesket's instructions to create your own 100% natural juice.


And voila! ice cold drinks on a hot summer day.  The regular juice with pulp was ice cold with a thick texture and came in cups while the pulp free one was room temperature and came in a bottle. The drinks were not overly sweet or diluted so we know that there weren't any additives. The sweetness of each drink really depended on the fruits you pick. The banana + dragon fruit + oriental melon was the sweetest drink we created given that the fruits all have a high sugar content. It was also the thickest and most filling juice of the 3 thus has a higher calorie count.  

If you're like me and have decidophobia, you can go for 'Today's Beesket' which is the daily special. After all, nothing can go wrong with an official recommendation right? 

Each drink comes with a little slip that contains nutritional information and all the goodies in the juice. It's also a score card where you can rate and comment on your creation. Most people fill them out and post them on the D.I.Y station of the juice bar to help out future customers . 


The customized juice experience at beesket was fun and I will for sure return to beesket the next time I visit Seoul! Stay tuned for more Korean adventures!
