Any place to find tteok (Korean sweet rice cakes) in the Bay?

[SouthToTheLeft]

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a place to find tteok (Korean sweet rice cakes) to serve on New Years' Day. Any ideas where they might be available in the Bay Area?

I know it's after New Year's Day, but there's also:

EWHA Dang
1076 Kiely Blvd
Santa Clara, CA 95051

Yewon
1591 Pomeroy Ave
Santa Clara, CA 95051

Seoul Rice Bakery
3412 El Camino Real
Santa Clara, CA 95051

Kung Sil Rice Bakery
2725 El Camino Real
Santa Clara, CA 95051

JR in Hayward and EWHA Dang you have to get at the bakeries themselves, but are very good. Seoul, and Kung Sil products you can get at any Korean grocery store in the Bay Area. Yewon I think you can also get at the stores in the South Bay, but the bakery has a few additional products.

Most of these places make Korean rice cakes of all shapes & colors & ingredients.

any korean market will have them.
JR rice bakery (hayward) makes it daily on the premises.
(near A st & mission blvd)

stick kind can be used for cooking.
oval ones in pink, grey, and white have red bean paste in them, resembles mochi, can be eaten like confection pastry.. (20 pieces about 4.5)

There's a place in Hayward called JR Rice Cake Bakery. I don't know if they have what you're looking for, though.

Are you looking for the kind to make the traditional new year's day soup (tteokguk) with - the sliced oval discs ala

or are you looking for the types of rice cakes you wanna eat with some coffee or food? Most Korean markets worth their weight will have a variety of tteok delivered daily- Koreana Plaza in Oakland, for example gets theirs delivered from a few vendors in Santa Clara each day and so far from all that I've tasted they are good. In fact, my favorite is the yakbap

and we used one of those Santa Clara vendors (forget which one now) to order a bunch for our wedding day. Try checking out the Korean market closest to you as they should have a good variety of fresh tteok!
