Gangneung Moraenae Han-gwa Village (Galgol Han-gwa)

Sacheon-myeon, Gangneung-si is a rural village called Moraenae because a stream with a lot of sand flows through it. Now more famous as Moraenae Han-gwa Village, this place was a poor village about 30 years ago. Continuing the tradition of traditional Korean confectionery (han-gwa) manufacturing techniques that have been passed down in the village for 130 years, the entire village participated in the "1 Gun 1 Myeongpum" project, transforming into Moraenae Han-gwa Village, which produces han-gwa in the traditional way. It has become a debt-free, high-income village with an average farm household income of 50 million won. * Galgol Han-gwa Amidst our increasingly Westernized food culture, Galgol Han-gwa, which has consistently maintained the unchanging traditional taste for over 100 years, is a master's house that has passed down the master's handcraft for four generations. The Gangneung Han-gwa Experience and Exhibition Hall was established with financial cooperation from the central government, Gangwon Province, and Gangneung City as part of policy support to preserve and succeed the master's manufacturing techniques handed down in Gangneung Han-gwa Village, providing a permanent opportunity to succeed and widely promote our unique traditional food.
