Tteok Museum (Rice Cake Museum)

Next to Changdeokgung Palace, a World Heritage Site in Seoul, there is a "Rice Cake Museum". Originally opened as a "Rice Cake and Kitchen Museum", in January 2008, it was remodeled into a "Rice Cake Museum" with the theme of strengthening rice cakes. The curator Yoon Sookja exhibited the tools related to rice cakes and ancient kitchen utensils that he had collected over 20 years. Through these exhibitions, the lives of Korean people can be seen. The museum is located on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the "Korean Traditional Food Research Institute" in Jongno 3rd Street. The building where it is located is relatively close to Changdeokgung Palace and Jongmyo Shrine, which are listed as World Heritage Sites, and Insadong, where traditional tea and handicrafts are concentrated. Here, you can not only visit, but also participate in the "Korean Cuisine Experience" program, and there is also a cafe "JILSIRU Main Store" where you can taste traditional rice cakes.
