A rice cake from Jeju Island made with foxtail millet. Jeju is volcanic, so growing rice was difficult and millet became the staple. Today glutinous rice is mixed in for a chewier texture, with sweet red bean paste inside.

Can I take it on a plane?

Yes. There is no problem carrying it on domestic or international flights. It is not insulated packaging though, so freeze it as soon as you arrive.

Freeze immediately, spread out as single pieces — not in the box, not sealed in a bag. Never refrigerate: 0–4°C is the temperature at which rice cake hardens fastest. To eat, leave at room temperature for about an hour.

Do you speak English?

Only a little. Sending a text message with your flight time and quantity is the easiest way. A translation app works fine.

Jeju rice cakes,
brought to your gate

Omegi-tteok needs to stay frozen, which makes it awkward to carry around for three days of travel. So we bring it to the airport on the day you leave.

Made with Hallasan mugwort and foxtail millet

Airport delivery

We are a five-minute drive from Jeju International Airport. Send us your flight time and we will meet you at Gate level 3 with rice cakes made that morning.

Text is easier than calling — just send your flight time and how many boxes you want. A translation app is fine; we manage.

What it is

Omegi-tteok is specific to Jeju. The island is volcanic, so rice paddies were nearly impossible and foxtail millet became the staple grain. The rice cake made from that millet is omegi-tteok.

It began as the base for omegi-sul, a Jeju rice wine — the cake was mashed and fermented with malt. Eating it as a sweet came later. Some pieces still have a hole in the middle: not decoration, but so the centre cooks through when boiled.

Five kinds: red bean, black sesame, mugwort, purple sweet potato, and tangerine.

Storing it — this part matters

Rice cake hardens because starch retrogrades, and that happens fastest between 0 and 4°C — exactly refrigerator temperature. So refrigerating is the worst thing you can do.
