Dongji is one of the 24 solar terms, marking the day with the longest night, and has traditionally been regarded by ancestors as an important festival similar to a small New Year's Day.


The custom of eating red bean porridge (patjuk) on Dongji has been passed down as a way to dispel old energy and pray for new hopes in the coming year.


At the store, Saeal Dongji Patjuk made with glutinous rice balls will be sold along with glutinous rice on the 21st and 22nd for two days.
