In Korea, yakgwa is still going strong after all.

In Korea, trendy foods change quickly. But yakgwa (약과) is still going strong. Even though it’s an old-fashioned sweet, cafés still serve it regularly. It has a slightly rich sweetness, with a flavor made for coffee. These days, there are also plenty of yogurt ice cream–style and salt bread–style treats, but when it comes to “Korean-style trends,” yakgwa still has that unmistakable feel. Around 3,000–5,000 won per piece. Honestly, a little pricey. But before you know it, you’re eating it again.
