떡 (tteok, “rice-dough cake”).

First attested in the Worin seokbo (月印釋譜 / 월인석보), 1459, as Middle Korean ᄯᅥᆨ〮 (Yale: sték). Japanese 粢(しとぎ) (shitogi, “sacrificial Shinto rice cake”) is often given as a Koreanic borrowing into Japanese;[1][2] also compare Ainu シト (sito, “dumpling made from rice or millet”).
