I packed two peach mochi and one kiwi mochi after the mango sold out, and they stayed juicy and springy all the way home to Busan. Verdict: Tareudang is a lovely sweet-and-tangy dessert to pick up after a Hwangridan-gil walk. ## Good to know - **Address**: 49 Sajang-ro, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–19:00 - **Service**: Takeout only; no indoor dining - **Signature menu**: Strawberry mochi, peach mochi, fig mochi, kiwi mochi *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* Whenever I travel to Gyeongju, Hwangridan-gil is the one place I never miss—its quiet hanok homes blend so wonderfully with trendy shops! After eating well and happily looking around as I walked Hwangridan-gil, I started craving a fresh, sweet dessert on the way home, so I visited Tareudang (타르당), a fruit mochi dessert café that everyone says is so hot these days. The sight of big pieces of seasonal fruit tucked inside immediately catches your eye. ![Tareudang signature fruit mochi on Hwangridan-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang-01-1udqi-1200.webp) ## Tareudang basics and takeout style ![Tareudang store information](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang-02-1nz6t-900.webp) As I wandered down the alleys of Hwangridan-gil, I came across Tareudang, with its cute little feel. Inside, colorful, generously made fruit mochi were neatly displayed in a clean, transparent glass case. ![Tareudang fruit mochi glass display case](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang-03-607h6-900.webp) The moment I entered, the sweet fruit scent spread through the lovely space and naturally lifted my mood. You cannot eat inside, since it is takeout-only, but it felt perfect for picking up something light and enjoying a bite of dessert while strolling around Hwangridan-gil. ## Seasonal fruit mochi and what I chose ![Tareudang fruit mochi menu display](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang-04-1xsl2-900.webp) ![Tareudang fruit mochi menu selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang-05-1ycby-900.webp) As you would expect from a handmade fruit mochi specialist, Tareudang has a wide lineup to choose from by season and taste. Its signature and popular options included strawberry, peach, fig, and kiwi mochi. The lineup changes a little depending on fruit freshness, but every one had large pieces of fruit inside such thin, translucent glutinous-rice dough that I could practically see through it—just looking made my mouth water! ![Packaged Tareudang fruit mochi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang-06-xx0do-900.webp) I wanted mango mochi so badly, but it sold out right in front of me... So, sadly, I bought two peach mochi and one kiwi mochi and headed to Busan! The moment I arrived safely home in Busan, I washed my hands and got straight to opening them one by one. ![Fruit mochi taken out at home in Busan](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang-07-1alk7-900.webp) ![Fruit mochi opened after takeout](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang-08-1takf-900.webp) ![Packaged fruit mochi still springy](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang-09-jr3nd-900.webp) ### Peach mochi brought all the way to Busan They had not sagged or gotten squashed at all, and were still chewy and springy in exactly the shape they had when I bought them! I took a cold bite right away, and juice burst out; the freshness and sweetness were just as alive as if I were eating them at the shop. It really made me regret buying only three... When I split the peach mochi neatly in half, the cross-section was packed with pink flesh. One bite filled my mouth with the fragrant character of ripe peaches and a burst of cool, sweet juice! The peach's crisp-yet-soft texture, the chewiness of the rice dough, and the subtle sweetness of the red bean paste came together perfectly. Even after the trip home, the juice had not dried out and coated my mouth beautifully until the last bite. ![Peach mochi cross-section with pink fruit flesh](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang-10-kk7mm-900.webp) ### Sweet-tart kiwi mochi I love peaches, so I bought two, and honestly, I was so glad I did haha. And then there was the kiwi mochi! Anyone who loves sweet-tart desserts could not help but fall for this one. A whole, fresh, generously sized kiwi was inside, and when I bit into it, cool, bright juice seemed to burst out. ![Kiwi mochi with a whole kiwi inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang-11-3wpkn-900.webp) ![Kiwi mochi and its chewy rice-cake texture](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang-12-1k8db-900.webp) The sweet, nutty red bean paste and chewy rice cake balanced kiwi's distinctive tang so perfectly—it was much more my style than I expected, haha. My husband does not usually like sweet things either, haha, but he said it tasted so good it felt as though the fatigue from driving down from Gyeongju to Busan had disappeared all at once. ## Why it was still great after takeout ![Tareudang fruit mochi in glutinous-rice dough](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang-13-19yon-900.webp) ![Tareudang fresh fruit mochi takeout selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang-14-1qsxf-900.webp) - Chewy glutinous-rice dough that stayed the same over time - Fresh, high-sugar whole fruit used generously - A restrained balance with handmade red bean paste that was not overly sweet There is a reason Tareudang continues to be loved in Gyeongju. First, even after time had passed and I unwrapped the package, the rice dough had not become soggy or thick; it stayed thin and chewy without getting in the way of the fruit's natural texture and flavor. They use carefully selected, fresh, high-quality fruit with plenty of sweetness, generously and whole, so rich juice still burst out after the journey. The red bean paste was not too sweet either, just a thin layer that gently supported the fruit's sweetness. It was such a clean, easy-to-enjoy mochi at home that I would recommend Gyeongju Tareudang if you are looking for properly good mochi in Gyeongju. ## A dessert to pick up after a Hwangridan-gil walk ![Packaged Tareudang fruit mochi from Hwangridan-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang-15-1nikd-900.webp) The Tareudang I visited on Hwangridan-gil this time is a perfect handmade dessert spot: wonderful to enjoy right in Gyeongju, but consistently delicious even when you take it home. I strongly recommend bringing back a prettily packaged box as a snack to share with family, a partner, or friends after your Gyeongju trip. If you are looking for an unusual and delicious handmade dessert on Hwangridan-gil, stop by Tareudang and be sure to take home some sweet-tart fruit mochi! ## Where it is - Tareudang (타르당) (타르당) - 49 Sajang-ro, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea - 경상북도 경주시 사정로 49 - 35.8367243, 129.208533 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%83%80%EB%A5%B4%EB%8B%B9/@35.8367243,129.208533,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-cupmarks/hwangridan-gil-fruit-mochi-tardang/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
