# Pumpkin injeolmi in Nam-gu, Ulsan: Baekho Tteokbang - By Yundam (https://superchart.com/en/@busan-cafe-alcove/) - Written Sep 11, 2026 - Local places › Cafés › Nam-gu, Ulsan - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@busan-cafe-alcove/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@busan-cafe-alcove/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/index.md) ## In short Baekho Tteokbang is a rice cake shop in Nam-gu, Ulsan, serving pumpkin injeolmi and sweet pumpkin sikhye. On a late Saturday afternoon, only three packs remained, but I brought home one pack each of Baekho Tteok and Heukho Tteok for my family. Verdict: a wonderfully filling stop whenever pumpkin injeolmi is on your mind. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Monday–Friday 09:00–17:00; closed Sunday - **Parking**: Underground parking available; the barrier opened without separate parking registration - **Gift sets**: Small thank-you gift sizes are sold by reservation *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* It had been a while since I’d had delicious pumpkin injeolmi (chewy rice cake), so I visited Baekho Tteokbang (백호떡방) in Samsan, Nam-gu. Baekho Tteokbang is not only about rice cakes—the sweet pumpkin sikhye (sweet rice drink) here is seriously, truly delicious too. ![Introduction to a visit to Baekho Tteokbang for pumpkin injeolmi](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-01-23snv-900.webp) ## Baekho Tteokbang location, parking, and hours Baekho Tteokbang is very easy to get to. It is in a mixed-use building on Beonyeong-ro in Samsan, Nam-gu, so it is easy to find no matter where you are coming from. ▶ The hours are a little short, so be careful! Monday–Friday, 9:00–17:00; closed Sunday. ![Baekho Tteokbang parking and hours information](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-02-xitwx-900.webp) Of course, you can use the underground parking garage. The barrier opened right away without any separate parking registration. Even more conveniently, you can pull over briefly along the road in front of the shop like this. It seemed fine for the quick moment it takes to buy rice cakes—there were plenty of other cars there too. ![Brief pull-over space in front of Baekho Tteokbang](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-03-tlpbf-900.webp) The huge “rice cake” lettering on the floor-to-ceiling window beside the shop naturally catches your eye—you simply cannot walk past it. A monitor right beside it plays the process of making the rice cakes and drinks, and watching it really gets your appetite going. ![Rice cake lettering on the window and a production-process monitor](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-04-167vu-900.webp) ## Saturday afternoon: only three packs left I visited this time at around 3–4 p.m. on a Saturday. I almost had a disaster on my hands!! Maybe there were lots of customers because it was the weekend, but there were only three packs of rice cakes left ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ ![The remaining rice cakes on display on Saturday afternoon](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-05-1du95-966.webp) Luckily, I could still buy one pack each of Baekho Tteok and Heukho Tteok, but if I had arrived any later, I might have missed the very best Baekho Tteok. ![Packaged Baekho Tteok and Heukho Tteok](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-06-hx3rt-900.webp) When I returned to Baekho Tteokbang for the first time in a few months, there were new menu items too: Ssukho Tteok and Gureum Tteok! I am so curious about them. Ssukho Tteok especially says it has mugwort castella and pumpkin injeolmi, and since I love both mugwort rice cake and pumpkin rice cake, just hearing the name makes me think I will absolutely, absolutely, absolutely love it. I have to buy it next time. ![New Ssukho Tteok and Gureum Tteok menu items](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-07-aqb6y-900.webp) They also sold small sizes for thank-you gifts by reservation. Pumpkin injeolmi and sweet pumpkin sikhye are things everyone, young or old, enjoys, so I think anyone would be happy to receive them. ![Small reservation-only rice cake gift set](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-08-5mmmz-900.webp) ![Baekho Tteokbang gift rice cakes and sikhye](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-09-1jc40-900.webp) ![Baekho Tteokbang’s stylish shop interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-10-bghhg-900.webp) I was impressed once again by the polished interior, which is hard to believe belongs to a simple rice cake shop, and brought home rice cakes and drinks. ![The purchased rice cakes and drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-11-31cll-900.webp) ## Baekho Tteok piled high with castella powder This is Baekho Tteok. Yellow pumpkin injeolmi is topped with an incredibly generous pile of castella crumbs. ![Baekho Tteok piled high with castella topping](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-12-1m7q2-900.webp) ![Packaged yellow pumpkin injeolmi, Baekho Tteok](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-13-p5ixe-900.webp) Can you see how soft, bouncy, and chewy the rice cake is? ![Soft and chewy pumpkin injeolmi texture](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-14-1kqer-900.webp) The chewy rice cake, full of bright yellow pumpkin, is truly springy, soft, and so, so delicious. The pumpkin’s gentle sweetness and aroma are wonderfully fragrant. And with all that sweet castella powder coating it, how could it not be delicious~ Even after lifting out one piece, enough castella powder is left in its place to show just how generously it is packed. ![Pumpkin rice cake with a generous amount of castella powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-15-upu4u-900.webp) The combination of pumpkin rice cake and castella is honestly the best. If you live in Ulsan, you really have to try it ㅠㅠㅠㅠ!! ## Heukho Tteok with deep nutty flavor This is Heukho Tteok. I could not buy it on my previous visit, so I tried it this time. Since I already love black sesame coffee and black sesame ice cream, I naturally expected the rice cake to be delicious too. ![Heukho Tteok coated in black sesame powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-16-arkgq-900.webp) ![Heukho Tteok and yellow pumpkin glutinous rice cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-17-wg1xa-900.webp) ![Nutty black sesame powder on Heukho Tteok](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-18-kl1jv-900.webp) Heukho Tteok also has yellow pumpkin glutinous rice cake inside. Seen through the black sesame powder, the yellow looks even more vivid and pretty. The yellow pumpkin rice cake coated in black sesame powder is incredibly nutty!! It has a different charm from Baekho Tteok, with an intense black sesame nuttiness. That makes sense, because there is a considerable amount of black sesame powder too. After tasting both, I think Baekho Tteok is perfect when you want a gently sweet flavor, while Heukho Tteok is perfect when you are craving something nutty. Sweet pumpkin sikhye is not easy to find, so I was so happy to be able to buy it alongside such delicious rice cakes. It is much richer than ordinary sikhye and full of pumpkin aroma, which made me happy the whole time I drank it. A rice cake and a glass of sikhye are more than enough to stand in for a meal! ![Rice cakes and sweet pumpkin sikhye as a meal substitute](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-19-14jgf-900.webp) ![Rich sweet pumpkin sikhye and a spread of rice cakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-20-6m01u-900.webp) ![The pumpkin injeolmi and sweet pumpkin sikhye pairing](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-21-114yc-900.webp) My family also picked out whatever each person wanted and happily munched away. ![Rice cakes picked out by the family at Baekho Tteokbang](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye-22-qqphk-1200.webp) I would love to try rice cakes from other regions that are famous for pumpkin injeolmi too, but Ulsan has Baekho Tteokbang, so there is no need to travel elsewhere, haha. Please make sure to stop by Baekho Tteokbang—it is delicious and filling every time~ ^^ ## Where it is - Baekho Tteokbang (백호떡방) - 105–106, 1F, 223 Beonyeong-ro, Nam-gu, Ulsan, South Korea (울산광역시 남구 번영로 223 1층 105호 106호) - 울산광역시 남구 번영로 223 1층 105호 106호 - 35.5447561, 129.324301 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B0%B1%ED%98%B8%EB%96%A1%EB%B0%A9/@35.5447561,129.324301,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@busan-cafe-alcove/ulsan-baekho-ricecake-pumpkin-sikhye/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
