The calm, thoughtful atmosphere amplifies the experience of enjoying a single piece of yanggaeng.


🍡 Yanggaeng Varieties

Geumokdang offers more than just the classic red bean variety — their ever-evolving selection of seasonal and creative flavors redefines what yanggaeng can be.

Here are some of their most unique and beloved selections:

🍵 Milk Tea Yanggaeng

  • Rich, aromatic black tea essence that's deeper than expected
  • Harmonizes beautifully with dense red bean paste; finishes clean and subtly sweet

🌿 Geumok Ssanghwa Yanggaeng

  • Infused with herbal notes from traditional ssanghwa tea
  • Tastes like a gentle cup of tea in solid form — delicately addictive

🍂 Gyeongsan Jujube Yanggaeng

  • Deep, earthy sweetness with a soothing jujube fragrance
  • Comforting and accessible to all palates

🧁 And more: from traditional azuki to nut-infused, chestnut, sweet pumpkin, matcha, mugwort, and even wine-flavored yanggaeng — the diversity is delightful.


🎁 Perfect for Gifting

Each piece is elegantly wrapped and available in premium gift boxes. Ideal for holidays, anniversaries, or any special occasion, Geumokdang’s yanggaeng makes a thoughtful and tasteful gift.


🌍 Notes for Overseas Visitors

Because no preservatives are used and refrigeration is required, Geumokdang’s yanggaeng is not suitable for long-distance or overseas transport.

This, however, reflects their dedication to quality: made only with the finest Korean-grown red beans, every piece is a testament to craftsmanship and integrity.

💰 While slightly pricier than average, each bite delivers refined flavor, clean sweetness, and artisan-level care.


🧾 Final Thoughts

Geumokdang’s yanggaeng is not just a dessert — it’s an elegant, bite-sized expression of Korean tradition and culinary artistry. Each flavor brings out the essence of its ingredients with balance and sophistication.

If you’re seeking a dessert experience that’s both classic and elevated,
Geumokdang is a must-visit destination.
