## Where is Tteokmama Cheongju Gaesin Branch, and what is the shop like?

Tteokmama Cheongju Gaesin Branch sits in the commercial strip in front of the Cheongju Gaesin Prugio apartments. The exterior is sleek and modern with a black-toned frame! Through the floor-to-ceiling glass, the warm lighting genuinely feels like walking into a fancy dessert café.

These days, when you're gifting rice cakes for an event or special occasion, visuals really matter, right? I instantly understood why this place is known for custom event rice cakes in Cheongju, right from the entrance! The banner by the door had a clean rundown of the sweet, nutty cold jujube tea and other dessert drinks, which made it so easy to just walk in without hesitation.

Stepping inside, a gorgeous wooden display counter and warm lighting spread out in front of me — the vibe is seriously something else. Totally a good-vibe rice cake café! The tteok were neatly arranged one by one on the clean wood shelving, and just browsing was fun.

## What comes in the 100-day and dol (first birthday) rice cake sets?

On one side of the store, a showcase fridge holds sikhye (sweet rice punch) and a wide variety of frozen tteok, and a big poster on the wall lays out the Cheongju 100-day and dol set guide!

### Fruit chapssaltteok and finger-food rice cakes

The fruit chapssaltteok showcase — with whole fresh strawberries, shine muscat grapes and tangerines tucked inside — was insanely good-looking, a truly healing moment.

There were also thoughtful return-gift boxes and gift wrapping cloths available, making this lineup a solid choice for custom event rice cakes or return-gift rice cakes in Cheongju.

## How the takeaway rice cakes tasted at home

Couldn't resist — packed up a whole bundle and opened it right at home~~~!

Fruit chapssaltteok set: tangy tangerine, sweet strawberry, crisp shine muscat — bursting with freshness, and the combo with the red bean paste and chewy chapssaltteok inside was insane. No mushy aftertaste at all, just juice bursting out — gone in seconds!

Guseul-tteok: gorgeously colorful, bite-sized and so easy to pop one after another. If you put these in a Cheongju 100-day or dol set or a return gift, people will absolutely say you have great taste.

Heart mugwort seolgi & pizza fusion seolgi: the heart-shaped mugwort seolgi has a gentle mugwort scent — clean and nutty through and through! The pizza-style seolgi, loaded with toppings, had that sweet-and-savory upscale flavor that even won over my kid's picky palate. My child was thrilled that tteok like this even existed.

Sareureu yugwa: crispy yet melts softly, keeps you reaching for more, and not too sweet, so even older family members will love it!
