• Rice cake with pizza on top. How tteok became the dessert people queue for, and where the chains put it

Rice cake: steamed or pounded rice, chewy, lightly sweet. In autumn 2026 it is the dessert people queue for, and the convenience chains followed: GS25 made a pizza-topped 설기 with the dessert chain 설빙, CU a pumpkin 인절미 and a dark-chocolate mochi, 7-Eleven injeolmi and black-sesame tteok. CU said its rice-cake sales were up 96.5 percent this year, 7-Eleven 62 percent, and one paper counted purchases by under-twenties up 45 percent in a year.

Look in the chilled dessert case. Pizza seolgi is heated in the store microwave; most others are eaten cold.
