Summary
- Sungsimdang began selling Fig Siru again on August 20.
- The seasonal cake costs 45,000 won and is available at the Main, Lotte and DCC Cake Boutique locations.
- Yeongam County says the cake uses figs grown in Yeongam, South Korea’s largest fig-producing area.
Sungsimdang has brought back Fig Siru for the late-summer fig season. The Daejeon bakery said in an official Instagram post that sales began on August 20 at all three of its Cake Boutique locations.
The cake is priced at 45,000 won. Sungsimdang describes it as ripe figs layered with soft cream, with more fruit arranged across the top. The named locations are Cake Boutique Main, Lotte and DCC; the announcement does not say that every Sungsimdang shop carries it.
An August 20 report by Yonhap adds that the fruit comes from Yeongam, South Korea’s largest fig-producing area. Yeongam County said this is the second consecutive year that its seasonal crop has been used for Sungsimdang’s fig cake.
That sourcing detail makes Fig Siru more than a returning cake with a highly visible fruit topping. It links one of Daejeon’s best-known bakery lines with a harvest from southwest Korea, turning a short seasonal release into a connection between two local food identities.
At publication, the confirmed details are an August 20 start, a 45,000-won price and three Cake Boutique outlets. Sungsimdang did not include an end date in the announcement, so visitors traveling for the cake should check the latest store notice before making the trip.
