A gangjeong stall caught my eye among the Sokcho Central Market food spots, so I stopped by Ibuja Mayak Gotgan (이부자마약곳간) 🍘 Putting this together for anyone wondering what to grab for Sokcho desserts or snacks~ ![Storefront of Ibuja Mayak Gotgan, a grain gangjeong shop in Sokcho Central Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-grain-gangjeong-ibuja/sokcho-market-grain-gangjeong-ibuja-01-1abu4-m-900.webp) ## Where is Ibuja Mayak Gotgan? Stall 137, first floor of Sokcho Tourist Fisheries Market Ibuja Mayak Gotgan is a grain gangjeong shop tucked inside the first floor of Sokcho Tourist Fisheries Market in Jungang-dong~ The stall has brown rice, buckwheat, white rice, black rice, and yellow rice gangjeong laid out by type. Up front there are sample pieces and toothpicks so you can taste before you pick 👀 The sign has the whole making process written on it. They steam the five grains, dry them with hot air, age them for 6 months to remove moisture, then turn them into gangjeong. Quite a lot of care goes into it~ There's a big sign that says it's made and sold the same day. ![Sign at the gangjeong shop explaining the same-day made, same-day sold process](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-grain-gangjeong-ibuja/sokcho-market-grain-gangjeong-ibuja-02-zfp2x-900.webp) ![Five colors of grain gangjeong displayed by type at the stall](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-grain-gangjeong-ibuja/sokcho-market-grain-gangjeong-ibuja-03-1hyqw-900.webp) ## Grain gangjeong prices at Ibuja Mayak Gotgan and the receipt-review freebie There are two gangjeong set menus at Ibuja Mayak Gotgan 👇 - Grain gangjeong 8-piece set: ₩10,000 - Grain gangjeong 12-piece set: ₩15,000 Inside the bag, brown rice, buckwheat, white rice, black rice, and yellow rice are stacked in neatly. Each bag has all five kinds, so there's fun in picking which one to eat next~ The origin info is on there too — brown rice, black rice, and white rice are domestic, while buckwheat is from China. There's also a sign saying if you write a Naver receipt review, they'll give you a tasting piece of rice gangjeong! ![Sign showing grain gangjeong set prices and origin information](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-grain-gangjeong-ibuja/sokcho-market-grain-gangjeong-ibuja-04-1yyj7-900.webp) ## What do the five grain gangjeong taste like, and how big is one piece? I packed two bags to take home. Each piece is about the size of your palm, so it's pretty big 🖐️ The black rice gangjeong looked the prettiest, with little purple grains dotted all through it. White rice and yellow rice are more like puffed rice cakes, with grains popped up all bubbly. Each grain has a different color so there's fun in pulling out one at a time haha Just like the sign describes, it's a style where the grains cluster together crisply. There are sample pieces, so try a few and pick your favorite 🙂 ![Bag of grain gangjeong with brown rice, buckwheat, white rice, black rice, and yellow rice mixed together](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-grain-gangjeong-ibuja/sokcho-market-grain-gangjeong-ibuja-05-1klxh-1200.webp) ## How to eat grain gangjeong once it turns soggy There are tips written on the bag and the sign, so let me sum them up! If it gets hard or soggy after a few days, microwave it for 20 seconds and let it cool slightly before eating. If you lightly pan-fry it on low heat, it gets a nurungji (scorched rice) aroma 🔥 Handy to know if you're taking these home as a Sokcho souvenir! ![Gangjeong packaging bag with eating instructions printed on it](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-grain-gangjeong-ibuja/sokcho-market-grain-gangjeong-ibuja-06-pyzok-900.webp) It's great for mindless snacking~ Perfect for when your mouth's bored!
