Why visit

What to choose
- For a small, easy-to-pack purchase, the official catalogue lists Hheen's Bird and Rabbit Memo Pad at ₩7,000, featuring drawings by Shin Seol-hwa. For a tea drinker, compare Pulipdeul's Forest Tea Mat in Dusk at ₩27,000, described as naturally dyed with Jeju forest plants, with a ceramic cup. Yumiko Iihoshi's ReIRABO Cup S is listed at ₩27,000 for espresso or tea; its matching Round Plate S, ₩18,000, can serve as either a saucer or a small plate. Choose by how the recipient will use it, and check current shop stock.twl-shop
How to browse
- Head to the second floor for teaware and craft by Korean and international makers, or the third for everyday ceramics, glassware, dishes and cutlery. The first floor changes with seasonal gifts and pop-ups; Handle with Care, the fourth-floor gallery, adds an exhibition to the visit. In an August 22, 2026 personal account, A Sidestreet Korean's author 'ever' described buying a pale, round plate from the DAILY section and enjoying its smooth surface and everyday use. They also found maker names and short background notes on the shelves.twl-shop+1
Practical tip
- Use those maker labels if buying something specifically Korean-made, since the shop also carries overseas brands. For a fragile purchase, ask about protective packing before committing suitcase space. The flagship is at 34 Noksapyeong-daero 40na-gil and opens Tuesday–Sunday, noon–7pm. TWL recommends reaching street level by Noksapyeong Station's elevator and crossing the pedestrian overpass. The shop sits on a small hill, so allow time for the approach and for exploring its four floors.asidestreetkorean+1
