한과 (Hangwa): Traditional Korean Confectionery

Hangwa — traditional Korean confectionery — is among the most visually elaborate and technically demanding confectionery traditions in Asia. Developed through the Joseon court tradition, hangwa encompasses grain-based preparations (yumilgwa — fried), paste-based preparations (jeonggwa — candied), and pressed preparations (dasik — pressed rice cakes). The visual artistry of hangwa rivals Japanese wagashi — both are court-derived confectionery traditions that prioritise seasonal beauty alongside flavour.
