Traditional "Hodu-Gwaja" Walnut Pastries

Traditional "Hodu-Gwaja" Walnut Pastries — Hakhwa House (Since 1934)

The perfect pairing for your finest teas. The authentic taste of Korean tradition.

Elevate your "Tea Time" with Hodu-Gwaja, South Korea's most iconic and beloved traditional pastry. Originating from the city of Cheonan, these delicacies are crafted by the prestigious Hakhwa House, which has preserved its secret artisanal recipe since 1934.

The Tasting Experience: On the outside, a golden, fluffy oven-baked dough with the comforting texture of a classic madeleine. Inside, a marvelous contrast awaits: the crunch of a generous walnut kernel paired with a melting heart of white bean paste. Softer and more refined than traditional red bean paste, this filling offers a subtle, velvety sweetness.

The Perfect Pairing: Its rich, nutty, and comforting profile perfectly balances the vegetal freshness of a Ujeon green tea or the noble bitterness of a Matcha.

The Art of Gifting: In Korea, gifting is an art form. These pastries come wrapped in traditional paper with a retro-chic design (the house's iconic checkered pattern), ready to be offered as a sophisticated gift.
