#1
Euljiro Nogari Alley
Jung-gu·$
Tteokbokki (Spicy Rice Cakes)
KRW6000.00
Chewy rice cakes in a spicy red gochujang sauce—common at some stalls.
Tip: Some stalls serve tteokbokki alongside nogari. It's spicy and filling, but many people prefer the simplicity of just nogari and beer.
#2
Sulbing
Jung-gu·$$
Cheese Garaetteok (Rice Cake Stir-fry)
KRW12000.00
Chewy rice cake stir-fried with cheese and a sweet sauce until creamy.
Tip: A savory-sweet Korean dessert that's different from bingsu. Pairs well as a warm dessert during cooler months.
#3
Mingles
Gangnam-gu·$$$$
Sweet Potato Rice Cake with Chestnut Soup and Truffle
KRW350000.00
Early course combining earthy root vegetables with seasonal truffles.
Tip: This sets the flavor trajectory for the meal — the subtlety here is intentional and builds toward the bolder fermented dishes that follow.

Injeolmi (Bean-Powder-Coated Rice Cake)
KRW8500.00
Chewy rice cake covered in toasted soybean powder and a touch of honey.
Tip: Injeolmi is the must-order snack. It's perfectly portioned to accompany a pot of tea and the nutty powder flavor balances the tea's sweetness.
