Jeju rice cake shop for four-flavor omegi-tteok in the car: Suragan

On the way home after finishing a Jeju trip, everyone stresses over what souvenir to buy, right? I was thinking about the same thing on the last day of my trip and ended up at Suragan Tteokbang (수라간떡방), located at 41 Noyeon-ro, Jeju-si. It's in such a good spot before heading to the airport, and the chewy texture stuck with me long after.

Where is Suragan Tteokbang, and what are the hours and parking?

Suragan Tteokbang's address is 41 Noyeon-ro, Jeju-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, and it's open from 08:00 to 18:30. Hours may vary on weekends and holidays.

There's no parking available. It felt more reassuring to use a nearby public parking lot or park on the side street.

It's about 10 minutes by car from Jeju Airport, which made it really convenient to stop by on the way to or from the airport.

Inside the shop and the omegi-tteok price list

Walking into Suragan Tteokbang, the first things that greeted me were neatly packed thank-you gift boxes and information signs.

There were all kinds of boxes to choose from depending on the occasion — 2-piece, 3-piece, 4-piece, 20-piece sets — perfect for picking a gift. I could see staff busily making and packing rice cakes in the workroom right behind the counter, which made me trust the place even more.

Single pieces are ₩1,000 each, so I could pick and choose without any worry. Gift boxes were priced at ₩6,000 for 5 pieces, ₩11,000 for 10, ₩22,000 for 20, and ₩30,000 for 30. I loved that you could mix flavors — red bean, soybean powder, nuts, black sesame, barley, and more — to your taste.

Nationwide shipping is also available, so if you're carrying too much luggage, you can just ship the rice cakes straight from the store. The price list, which clearly includes shipping cost, ice packs, and dry ice packaging, was neatly laid out and easy to check. Prices start at ₩27,000 for 20 pieces and go up by quantity, so it's easy to order based on how many people you're gifting to.

Opening the gift box: how to store and thaw omegi-tteok

I brought home a pretty box of omegi-tteok from Suragan Tteokbang. Inside was a helpful note on the best way to eat and store the rice cakes.

You should freeze them as soon as you get them, and letting them thaw naturally or giving them a quick spin in the microwave before eating brings back that original chewy texture. Each piece comes hygienically wrapped individually, so it was really convenient to keep a stash in the freezer and grab one before work or as a snack.

The whole red beans had a nice bite with a nutty flavor, and the mugwort scent wasn't overpowering at all — a flavor everyone, young or old, could enjoy.

The Naver receipt review event: 2 free pieces

Suragan Tteokbang was also running a Naver receipt review event. Buy a 30-piece box of omegi-tteok, write a receipt review, and you get 2 extra pieces thrown in — a nice little bonus.

If you visit, don't miss out on the event. The rice cakes I picked up at Suragan Tteokbang, Jeju's omegi-tteok shop, were a total success — my parents said they were delicious too. If you're looking for soft, chewy omegi-tteok on your Jeju trip, this place is worth checking out.

Red bean vs nut vs soybean vs black sesame: a taste test in the car

I pulled a few pieces of Suragan Tteokbang's omegi-tteok out right away to eat in the car while driving. The plain red bean omegi-tteok had a nutty flavor from the whole red beans that got better the more I chewed, and the filling inside wasn't too sweet, so it never felt like too much.

The nut omegi-tteok had almonds and sunflower seeds packed generously on the outside, adding a nutty flavor and crunchy texture. The soybean powder and black sesame versions each had their own distinct nutty aroma, and it was fun picking whichever flavor matched my mood.

Snacking on one after another while driving during a hungry stretch of the trip was filling and made for a great nutritious snack.

Is Suragan Tteokbang worth a return visit?

Stopping by Suragan Tteokbang for Jeju omegi-tteok, I was satisfied with the composition, taste, and price. Being close to the airport made it easy to fit into the last stop of the trip, and the packaging was so careful that the shape stayed perfectly intact all the way home.

My family all enjoyed them, saying they were delicious for being not too sweet and nicely chewy, so I think I'll be back to buy omegi-tteok on my next Jeju trip too. If you're trying to figure out a solid, tasty souvenir from Jeju, Suragan Tteokbang's omegi-tteok is worth adding to the list.
