Lotte Chaltteok Pie Injeolmi is a confection inspired by the Korean traditional glutinous rice cake (tteok). The outside is wrapped in a thin chocolate coating, while the inside contains a chewy glutinous rice dough and Injeolmi cream. "Injeolmi" is a type of traditional Korean glutinous rice cake made by coating steamed and pounded glutinous rice with roasted soybean flour, resulting in a nutty and soft rice cake. The overall flavour is sweet and nutty, with a chewy texture similar to Japanese mochi. The combination of the sweetness of chocolate and the nuttiness of the Injeolmi cream is its defining characteristic. Each package contains 6 individually wrapped pieces, making it convenient to enjoy as a snack.

No. Lotte Chaltteok Pie Injeolmi is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians. The product contains animal-derived dairy ingredients including whole milk powder, whey powder, and lactose. It also contains a trace amount of ethanol, and there is a possibility of cross-production with pork at the manufacturing facility, making it unsuitable for vegetarians as well. It is also not suitable for those following a gluten-free diet, and the product does not carry halal certification.

The basic storage method is to keep the product at room temperature in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. However, refrigerating it makes the chocolate coating firmer, and freezing it for about 30 minutes maximises the chewy texture of the glutinous rice dough for a unique eating experience. Eating it frozen gives a sensation similar to a mini ice cream mochi. It pairs well with warm green tea or milk. After opening, store in an airtight container away from moisture and consume promptly.

Injeolmi is a traditional Korean glutinous rice cake with hundreds of years of history, made by steaming and pounding glutinous rice, then coating it with roasted soybean flour. In Korea, it is an indispensable traditional food at special occasions such as holidays, first birthday celebrations (doljanchi), and weddings, symbolising abundance and happiness. Its texture is much chewier and denser than the marshmallow familiar to Europeans, and it is most similar to Japanese mochi. The flavour is nutty and mild, characteristically not overly sweet. Chaltteok Pie is a product that reinterprets the taste and texture of this traditional Injeolmi in the form of a modern chocolate pie, and has been a beloved national snack in Korea for decades.
