This study investigated the relationships of rice cakes’ product attributes, overall satisfaction, and repurchase intentions. Rice cake attributes were investigated as well as consumers’ behaviors, with a total of 324 female respondents. All respondents purchase rice cakes at least 2 to 3 times per year, and 10.8% of respondents purchase rice cakes once a week, which was the highest frequency. The results of analysis indicate that commercialization attribute, consumers’ satisfaction, and repurchase intentions have effects on each other. Product attributes had a direct effect on repurchase intentions and overall satisfaction had a direct effect on repurchase intentions.
