For the God of Kitchen, Kitchen Edition

What is the first destination on the Tteok Michelin Road in search of old flavors with singer Seo Jin-sil, who sings the truth?!
At Cheongamsa Temple, a thousand-year-old temple built by Doseon in 859, where Queen Inhyeon practiced asceticism for three years after her dethronement, there is a secret rice cake that has been passed down by word of mouth among the monks.

The Jo-wang-pyeon is an offering rice cake made to the kitchen god, the god who rules over the kitchen. It is said that the monks started offering rice cakes in the hopes that the kitchen god, who records all the events that happened in the kitchen, would be a little more considerate. While making the Jo-wang-pyeon, they prayed for the well-being and peace of those who would eat it.

Precious rice cakes, layer by layer, made with sincerity. Let’s meet the mysterious rice cakes of Cheongamsa Temple with singer Jinsil.

Rice cakes and steamed rice cakes that my grandmother used to make during hot summers are a memory

The second journey with Mr. Truth is to Yeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do! Musim Village, which is named for its “floating island on water.” If you cross the silvery white sandy beach and the lone tree that has stood firm for many years, you will come across an old house that has been the village’s chief for 360 years.

They say there is a rice cake that has been passed down from generation to generation in this area. It is the rice cake and jeungpyeon that my grandmother always made for me when I visited my hometown during summer vacation.

It is said that the rice cake made with makgeolli was especially enjoyed during the hot summer because it didn’t get hot easily. The love of the grandmother who made rice cake in front of the cauldron all day long, forgetting the heat.

As time passed and he grew older, his grandson, Park Cheon-se, said he felt more empathy for his grandmother’s love.
A meaningful time to share childhood memories with friends and family, a time to appease the unforgettable longing with a piece of rice cake.
