송편

2026/10/1 차강석 씀

송편 속은
깨를 넣은 것이 가장 맛 있다

송편을 씹으면
깨가 각각의 맛을 내며 입안을 장악한다

잘잘한 알갱이마다
고소하고 약간의 짠맛 등 다양한 맛이 난다

또 깨 송편은
침처럼 입안에 오래도록 머물러 맛을 느낀다

깨 송편은
이런 면에서, 가을을 맞는 인생의 맛이다


Songpyeon

Of all the fillings for songpyeon,

sesame is the best.

When you bite into songpyeon,

each sesame seed gives off its own flavor

and takes command of the mouth.

In every tiny grain

there is nuttiness, a hint of salt,

a whole range of tastes.

And sesame songpyeon

stays in the mouth for a long time, like saliva,

so you go on tasting it.

In this way, sesame songpyeon

is the taste of a life

welcoming autumn.
