Traditional Food of Korean Nation
Pyongyang, September 24 (KCNA) – On the day of Chusok (Harvest Moon Day), a folk holiday of Koreans, they prepared various dishes.
Among them are Songphyon (a half-moon-shaped rice cake stuffed with beans and flavored with pine needles).
On all other folk holidays, Koreans enjoy this dish. Such a rice cake is more delicious when it is made from new rice on the day of Chusok. The rice cake prepared on the day is called Chusok Songphyon.
Every region of the country makes unique Songphyon of various shapes and sizes.
In Kangwon Province, they make such a cake from potato farina and groundnuts.
Chusok falls on the 25th of September (the 15th day of the eighth lunar month) this year. -0-

You’re telling me north korea has food?!
So the fillings on these are usually on the sweet side? I’ve noticed a lot of the bean pastes are usually sweetened and would be a kind of desert by western standards. If they were savory it would be more like a little burrito.
Yeah this is likely prune-tasting a bit, slightly sweet.
Like the video game
pine needles?!
people cook w those?!
It’s uncommon but they are a genuinely interesting aromatic
My dad has a pine soda he drinks that I fucking hate. I could see a small hint of pine being maybe nice though in some foods.
There’s a lot of good pine flavored things actually. Teas are great and pine flavored gin is awesome
