Rice Cake Aesthetics

The seolgi (steamed rice cake) and yaksik (sweet rice with nuts and jujubes) here both have amazing texture. Unlike some tteok places with almost sticky products, the seolgi at Rice Cake Aesthetics is soft like castella yet maintains its chewiness. In the yaksik, the grains are still firm but soft enough. The nonglutinous rice is delivered from Yangpyeong, while the canola honey and ground pine nuts are shipped all the way from Jeju. Duteobtteok (steamed rice cake coated with honeyed red beans) is popular, but you'd better be quick about getting some, as they sell out quickly.
