돌잔치 Listen

Doljanchi food

The first-birthday table — sea, rice cakes, and a fortune of objects.

A public wish

A child’s first birthday 돌잔치 still lays seaweed soup, rice, and rainbow 수수팥떡 or songpyeon. The child picks an object (brush, stethoscope, money) as a joke-fortune. Food here is blessing, not a tasting menu.
