What kind of rice cake shop is Tteokmama Cheongju Gaesin Branch?

Tteokmama Gaesin Branch is a rice cake shop located at 1F, 13 Bokdae-ro, Gaesin-dong 698, Cheongju. It's open 08:30-21:00.

Hi! It's Seollog ☺️. I've been obsessed with rice cakes lately and going around checking out Cheongju rice cake shops, and this time I visited Tteokmama Gaesin Branch! These days rice cakes aren't just a holiday food like before — they're great as snacks too, and a lot of people get them as gifts or return gifts haha. So today I'm introducing this as a Cheongju rice cake shop return-gift recommendation ♥️ haha

Inside Tteokmama Gaesin: store layout and bottled drinks

The drink selection is pretty varied too!

Walking in, the interior was bigger and cleaner than I expected! Plenty of room even with a bunch of people!!! There were so many kinds of rice cake on display too, so it was fun browsing one by one.

At rice cake shops there are so many kinds it's hard to decide what to pick, but here you get to see and choose several types in person, which I liked.

They also sell bottled drinks, so it'd be nice to gift those together with rice cakes~

Why Tteokmama works for return gifts and event rice cakes

With such a wide variety, it seems like a good spot to browse for anyone looking for a Cheongju rice cake shop return-gift recommendation, or preparing rice cakes for a company event, promotion, or thank-you gift.

Also, these days a lot of people prepare Cheongju promotion return-gift rice cakes or rice cakes for Cheongju daycare snacks, and you can choose several kinds to match the scale of the event!

The pizza seolgi that's trendy these days was piled up too >___<

And you can't talk about rice cakes without mentioning tteok cakes haha. A lot of people look for Cheongju tteok cakes for special occasions, and for holidays or family events, some people look for a Cheongju ibaji-tteok (wedding gift rice cake) specialist shop.

The five rice cakes picked at Tteokmama, including the new yugwa

What I picked at Tteokmama Gaesin Branch this day were honey-tteok, jangaji-tteok, mugwort gaetteok, yugwa, and gyeongdan. They also mentioned yugwa is a new menu item, so I got curious and brought one home too haha.

• Honey-tteok
• Jangaji-tteok
• Mugwort gaetteok
• Yugwa
• Gyeongdan

Why the honey seolgi was sold out

Personally when I go to rice cake shops I love the chewy kinds, so jangaji-tteok and mugwort gaetteok caught my eye, and I obviously couldn't pass on the sweet honey-tteok either lol. But actually, what I most wanted to buy that day was the honey seolgi, you know??

But right before I walked in, the customer ahead of me swept up around 7 honey seolgi… 🥹 (I wanted to eat honey seolgi too, okay… lol) Since the customer before me took them all, I ended up not being able to buy honey seolgi and instead picked a solid mix of other rice cakes 🤣

Still, picking a variety of kinds made it fun trying each one at home. Rice cakes especially have such different textures and flavors depending on the type, so I thought mixing several together would be great for return gifts too.

Seollog's verdict on Tteokmama Cheongju Gaesin Branch

If you're looking for a rice cake shop around Gaesin-dong, it's worth checking out as a Cheongju Gaesin-dong rice cake shop! Especially with Chuseok coming up like now, a lot of people will be looking for songpyeon, so I'd recommend checking on Chuseok songpyeon reservations early.

Next time I'm definitely going to try the honey seolgi I missed out on… lol. This time I failed because of the customer ahead of me, but next time I'll go a bit earlier 🤣 If you want to browse a variety of rice cakes in Cheongju, or are looking into return-gift rice cakes, snacks, or event rice cakes, stop by Tteokmama Gaesin Branch 🫶 As for me, I'll be back next time to buy that honey seolgi…♥️
