Indulge in the Delightful Flavors of Ripe Persimmon Rice Cake

Imagine a delectable treat that combines the sweetness of ripe persimmons with the comforting texture of steamed rice cake. This traditional Korean delicacy, known as “Sangju Steamed Rice Cake,” is a true delight for the senses.

The process of making this rice cake is a labor of love. First, ripe persimmons are placed in a sieve and steamed, allowing their juices to drip down and infuse the non-glutinous rice powder. This mixture is then combined with the persimmon juice and a touch of sugar, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.

Traditionally, this rice cake was associated with the town of Sangju in Gyeongsangbuk-do, where persimmons are abundant. Today, however, ripe persimmon rice cake has become a beloved treat enjoyed throughout Korea, often found in the freezer section alongside frozen red persimmons and red bean-filled glutinous rice cakes.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to this delightful delicacy, the ripe persimmon rice cake is a must-try for anyone seeking a unique and satisfying culinary experience. Indulge in the rich, sweet flavors and the comforting texture of this traditional Korean treat.
