Excellent
The Korean New Year Cake Museum, which is also interesting, basically makes me understand why many Korean antique TV dramas and royal palaces have many banquets on the New Year Cake, which is also a kind of culture of them.

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.

An experience tour where you can watch, make and eat! Rice cake is one of the traditional Korean foods that has developed along with the lives of the Korean people and occupies an important position in Korean culture. Rice cake contains the spirit and culture of the Korean people and is integrated into the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness in the lives and consciousness of the Koreans. There are many types of rice cakes, and the taste and nutrition, texture and aroma are all perfectly scientifically matched.
Next to the shop, you can taste some special New Year's Cake. It tastes really good. There are many varieties. You can have pot tea and drink it slowly. I just came here after watching the Changde Palace and just had a rest.
Rice cakes have a long history of productivity in Korea. All the food in this museum is made of rice cakes, and there are many varieties.
Look at the experiential museum that can be eaten. Delicious New Year's Cake, so you can eat enough at a time, haha. Children like it very much.
