The story
On Jeju Island, the Omegi Tteok Factory is a traditional producer of the region’s iconic rice cake. As Mark Wiens notes in his 24-hour food tour, it’s a must-buy souvenir, known for its “silky red bean filling” and chewy rice cake exterior. This unassuming factory has become a local landmark for visitors seeking authentic Jeju flavors.
The omegi tteok here is made in the classic style, with a soft, slightly sweet glutinous rice cake enveloping a smooth red bean paste. It’s a simple but precise confection that captures the island’s culinary heritage—a pastry that works equally well as a snack or a gift. For anyone exploring Jeju’s food scene, this factory offers a direct taste of tradition.

“This is a rice cake with red beans, a popular snack souvenir from Jeju. The red beans have an incredible silky smooth texture, starchy but really smooth, a little bit sweet but not too sweet. The beans and the mochi rice cake blend together — you're not sure where one ends and the other begins. I like it.”
