What is Black Garlic Salt Bread, the salt bread spot in Danyang's Gugyeong Market?

Black Garlic Salt Bread (흑마늘소금빵) is a salt bread specialist inside Danyang Gugyeong Market. I recently took a trip to Danyang in Chungbuk, and the sights are great, but the food matters a lot too, right? Danyang is famous for garlic, and there are lots of garlic-themed restaurants. This is my story about visiting the salt bread favorite of Danyang Gugyeong Market, Black Garlic Salt Bread.

Browsing a local market, each region with its own character, is a small joy.

Danyang Gugyeong Market is a market street packed with just about every kind of Danyang food.

Space where Danyang garlic is aged into black garlic

And of course a black garlic salt bread shop has a black garlic aging room, ta-da!!! They say they age Danyang garlic, the local specialty, themselves to make the black garlic extract they use.

They bake the bread every morning using Danyang's native six-clove garlic, sun-dried salt from Taean and Sinan, and top-grade French gourmet butter.

They say the dough is made in the shop, with same-day production and same-day sales as the rule!!!

Comparison of black garlic, garlic and original salt breads

From the left: black garlic salt bread, garlic salt bread and original salt bread.

Original salt bread

The original salt bread at Black Garlic Salt Bread is the textbook crisp-outside, moist-inside. The outside is crunchy and the inside is fluffy and moist.

Black garlic salt bread

The Danyang black garlic salt bread has that garlic aroma~~ rawr!!! The garlic scent Koreans love. The subtle sweetness and savory depth of black garlic come right up, so the flavor is great, and a slight saltiness at the end makes it easy to eat without feeling heavy.

They say black garlic is rich in antioxidants, which makes it even better. It would probably be even tastier with coffee or milk.

Garlic salt bread

The garlic salt bread has garlic sauce brushed on the outside, so it's a little sticky, and slightly sweeter than the black garlic salt bread.

Is Danyang's Black Garlic Salt Bread good as a gift?

Made with garlic, Danyang's specialty, Danyang black garlic salt bread is unusual and distinctive, a nice local product to buy as a gift and share in small portions. I carried the rest carefully home and enjoyed it with my family.
