Goraesa Eomuk Tteok-mali is a product that combines two traditional Korean foods: eomuk (fish cake) and tteok (rice cake). Eomuk is made by finely grinding fish flesh, mixing it with flour and other ingredients, shaping it, and then cooking it — similar in concept to Japanese kamaboko or European fish terrine. Wrapped around it is a traditional Korean rice cake, adding a satisfying chewy texture. In Korea, it is a staple snack and light meal enjoyed at street stalls and snack shops, served warm in broth. As a frozen product, it is easy to store and has a mild, clean flavor once cooked.

This product contains fish. Anyone with a fish allergy should avoid consuming it. ⚠️ Important additional note: The official ingredient list has not yet been fully verified, so the presence of other allergens such as gluten (wheat), soy, or sesame cannot be officially confirmed at this time. Korean fish cake products commonly contain wheat flour. If you have a specific allergy, please contact the manufacturer (Goraesa, customer service: 1544-7902) to request the official ingredient declaration before purchasing, or contact dotasia.eu customer service. Accurate allergen information is required under EU Regulation 1169/2011.

No, this product is not suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets. It is an animal-based food with fish as the primary ingredient. It is also not halal-certified and is therefore not suitable for those following a halal diet.

Yes, caution is advised. According to a 2025 survey by the Korea Consumer Agency, Korean fish cake products typically contain approximately 689–983mg of sodium per 100g, which is relatively high. Please be mindful of excessive consumption in relation to the WHO recommended daily sodium intake (under 2,000mg). In particular, if consuming as a broth-based dish, drinking all of the broth will significantly increase sodium intake, so it is recommended to moderate the amount of broth consumed. Those on a low-sodium diet should pay close attention to portion sizes. ⚠️ Note: The precise nutritional values for this product (energy, fat, carbohydrates, protein, salt, etc.) have not yet been confirmed from official sources.
