Introduction
Welcome to DeokYuDang (덕유당), a hidden gem nestled deep in the rural heartland of Yecheon County, Gyeongbuk. This farm-to-table restaurant is run by a couple who decided to return to farming in 1990, after being involved in the farmers’ movement during their university days. They started farming in Jibo-ri, a quiet and serene village in Yecheon County. From 2003, they started passing on the tradition of making Korean rice cakes (HanGwa), establishing themselves as representatives of Yecheon’s local YeotJaE Village HanGwa and active regular members of the Korean Food Research Association.
