🏅 Blue Ribbon–Selected Handmade Mooncake Bakery in Myeongdong: Dohyangchon

We confidently recommend Dohyangchon, a Chinese-style pastry shop in Myeongdong selected by the Blue Ribbon Survey, for anyone wishing to taste mooncakes handmade by two generations since 1968.

If you are staying in Myeongdong, we recommend Dohyangchon on Namdaemun-ro, in front of the Chinese Embassy, for travel gifts or a sweet snack.

To focus on handwork, the shop makes only three pastries: Sipgyeong Wolbyeong, Jangwonbyeong and Hodosu. The Sipgyeong mooncake, filled with tropical fruit, is known for its sweet-and-tangy flavor.

Jangwonbyeong with its savory bean paste and walnut-filled Hodosu are also popular, and gift sets featuring an assortment of pastries are available.
