Bucheon bakery open run for whole barley loaves: Chamsae Bori Sikppang

This Jeju bread lover went on a Bucheon bakery crawl :) Chamsae Bori Sikppang, Bucheon main branch (참새보리식빵 부천본점), is near Bucheon Jayu Market. I used to order it for delivery, buy it in person, and visit all the time—it was one of my favorite Bucheon bakeries—but after being featured on SBS's Master of Living, it has turned into a bakery with a line ㅠㅠ haha. They say you cannot get a loaf if you go late in the afternoon now, so I went for an opening run haha.

Waiting for the 10 a.m. opening run

Chamsae Bori Sikppang opens at 10 a.m. I arrived at 10:09 a.m. I had no idea this many people would be doing an opening run!!!

The shop was already full of customers too, so there was a line outside... haha. The system is that one person enters for every person who buys bread and comes out.

The three glutinous barley loaves currently sold

Chamsae Bori Sikppang is a beloved Bucheon bakery. It won first place nationwide in SBS's Master of Living bread category. There are Daesang glutinous barley, multigrain glutinous barley, and rye glutinous barley loaves. There used to be so many loaf varieties, but now they sell only these three flavors! I already like wholesome, mild bread for meals, so I loved all three loaves >< haha.

Why you should do an opening run and how to check sellouts

Why do a Bucheon bakery-crawl opening run? There is no limit on how many loaves you can buy, so people really do buy a lot~ Since the bread is great value, I think they take lots home to share with people around them!! Here is a visit tip for anyone who missed the Chamsae Bori Sikppang opening run: add Chamsae Bori Sikppang as a KakaoTalk friend, and you can get a message about whether it has sold out that day~^^

Finally, my turn to enter this favorite Bucheon bakery!! I was worried because the customers ahead of me had bought so much, but thankfully there was still plenty of bread left haha. They were continuously restocking in real time! If you like pulling apart a loaf as you eat it, ask the staff for a whole, unsliced loaf and they will pack one for you haha.

Chamsae Bori Sikppang's three-loaf lineup

The lineup at this favorite Bucheon bakery, Chamsae Bori Sikppang.

• Daesang glutinous barley, praised by master bakers: soft, unsweetened barley bread
• Multigrain glutinous barley for blood sugar control: savory, unsweetened barley bread with 18 grains and roasted walnuts
• Rye glutinous barley for gut health: savory and mild, with walnuts, rye, and cranberries

The person ahead of me bought a whole basketful. Still, because there are only three types of loaves, choosing and paying moved quickly.

You can also receive a financier if you write a Naver receipt review, so be sure to write a review after buying your bread^^

Tasting the mascarpone milk cream

The tasting corner in front of the counter! Once you taste this, I do not think you will be able to leave without buying the mascarpone milk cream? Hahaha. The loaf itself is chewy, delicious, and soft, and the milk cream melts gently in your mouth.

Chamsae Bori Sikppang was selected as South Korea's No. 1 bread on SBS's Master of Living. Its recommended combination is Daesang glutinous barley + multigrain glutinous barley + rye glutinous barley + mascarpone milk cream.

NO chemical additives. NO preservatives. NO margarine. A bread party for lunch with the family!! Haha. It is wholesome bread that digests easily, so both adults and children can enjoy it with peace of mind.

Pulling apart a whole loaf along its layers

A tip for enjoying Chamsae Bori Sikppang even more deliciously: buy it as a whole loaf and pull it apart along the bread's layers.

The taste of bread fermented at low temperature for 70 hours

What makes this favorite Bucheon bakery's bread special is its deep flavor and soft texture, developed through a 70-hour low-temperature fermentation process. The more you chew, the more you taste barley's distinctive nuttiness and mildness. Since it is not sweet, it is delicious eaten plain as a meal replacement, and it is perfect for making sandwiches too!

The Chamsae Bori Sikppang sample bread was so delicious that I made my own tasting plate at home hahaha. I put together one plate, and it disappeared in no time—such a hit. Do not forget to buy the mascarpone milk cream too!!

There are similar loaf-bread shops near Bucheon Station, so make sure to check the name before visiting!! Chamsae Bori Sikppang is at the intersection near Bucheon Jayu Market.
