Castella Injeolmi

Cultural Context

Originating in Japan, Castella was brought to Korea by Portuguese merchants in the 16th century. It has since evolved into a beloved Korean dessert, often enjoyed during celebrations and holidays. The addition of injeolmi, a traditional Korean rice cake coated in powdered soybean flour, adds a unique texture and flavor, making it a delightful treat. Today, variations of Castella can be found globally, with many incorporating local flavors and ingredients.
