About this activity

✨ A Korean Royal Dessert, Made by You

Create black sesame Dasik, a refined Korean tea confectionery once enjoyed by royalty. Shape each piece by hand and press traditional patterns—each carrying its own meaning—into your dough.

✨ Flavor Meets Craftsmanship

Enjoy the deep, nutty flavor of premium black sesame, then take it further by choosing your own natural colors. Craft sweets that reflect your personal style, where every piece becomes edible art.

Learn bojagi wrapping, a poetic Korean tradition symbolizing care and good wishes, and wrap your handmade sweets into a meaningful keepsake.
