Mungyeongsaejae Yetnal Chapssal Tteok (문경새재옛날찹쌀떡)

Located in the parking lot of Mungyeongsaejae Provincial Park, this place serves handmade sweet rice cakes made from red beans and glutinous rice. Horse Warrant Rice Cake, made in a traditional way without using preservatives, is not too sweet and has crispy nuts in it. In the Joseon dynasty, inspectors used horse warrants to commandeer horses for their missions to rural areas. Figures of horses were drawn differently depending on the grade. In particular, these were used to identify secret imperial inspectors who were dispatched to rural areas and secretly carried out inspection duties. You can also taste Secret Royal Inspector Bread made with Omija marmalade from Mungyeong. Word of mouth spreading at Mungyeongsaejae Pass makes it highly recommended to visit early, as it is likely to be sold out early.
