Food for cold weather. Street stalls sell fish-shaped bread filled with red beans, syrup-filled pancakes and skewered fishcake in hot broth, which you can sip from a paper cup as you walk. Radish water kimchi is at its best in winter, served icy cold next to warm dishes. Cinnamon punch, made with dried persimmons, is a traditional winter drink served cold after a meal.
