Jeju café for Chuseok rice-cake gift boxes: Suragan Tteokbang

Why it’s a good place to buy omegi-tteok in Sinjeju

It’s only 10 minutes from Jeju Airport, so it isn’t far at all.

It is near the large hotels and accommodations in Nohyeong and Yeon-dong,

so it is easy to stop by and pack up some treats on the last day of your trip.

Your order is placed in a pretty gift case, making it great as a Jeju travel souvenir, too.

As soon as you walk in, you can see the spacious, spotless work area at a glance, which makes me feel even more confident about buying here.

Nationwide delivery is also available; for delivery orders, simply use text message or Naver ordering.

There are so many rice-cake shops inside Dongmun Market, but they are hard to find right in the middle of Sinjeju, so this place is especially welcome.

Many specialty shops sell only omegi-tteok, but Suragan Tteokbang also sells regular rice cakes, which are nice as a meal replacement when you are peckish.

How delicious is it to eat freshly made, bite-size chapssal-tteok (glutinous rice cakes) right there?

For this coming Chuseok, try ordering rice cakes and thank-you gifts from Suragan Tteokbang.

How should you freeze omegi-tteok?

Every omegi-tteok shop says the same thing: “Do not store them in the freezer in the box.”

As shown, spread out just the rice cakes before storing them.

Even when shops include storage instructions with the rice cakes, many people do not read them. Later they say, “They didn’t taste good,” but most had hurriedly put the entire box into the freezer and eaten them that way.

Ingredients

• Common ingredients: glutinous rice, red-bean paste, mugwort, sugar
• Red-bean omegi-tteok: whole red beans, millet
• Nut omegi-tteok: pumpkin seeds, peanuts, sunflower seeds
• Soybean-powder omegi-tteok: soybean powder
• Black-sesame omegi-tteok: black sesame, dried kabocha squash
• Tangerine omegi-tteok: tangerine concentrate, castella cake
• Barley omegi-tteok: barley, brown-rice glutinous rice, white-bean paste

I am not exactly an omegi-tteok expert, but from all the ones I have tried, I found that following the storage and thawing methods properly keeps them tasting like freshly made rice cakes.

For frozen omegi-tteok, remove the wrapper, cut each one in half, and microwave it for about 20–30 seconds.

Then you can enjoy delicious omegi-tteok just like it tasted at first. My mother loves rice cakes so much that she ate two or three as soon as we got them, haha. My mother is a traditional omegi fan who reaches for red bean or nuts, while I, her daughter, go first for fresher flavors like tangerine.

With its tidy shop and kind service, this is a great Jeju omegi-tteok shop where people living or staying around Nohyeong and Yeon-dong can pick up rice cakes without going all the way to Dongmun Market. I recommend Suragan Tteokbang to anyone considering Chuseok gifts or Jeju travel souvenirs.
