There's a microwave on one side so you can heat up the potato bread right away. ![Spacious, clean seating inside the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout-07-g2aiy-966.webp) ![Café-like interior where you can rest for a while](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout-08-120ro-966.webp) Once inside, the space was bigger and cleaner than I expected. Instead of feeling like a plain takeout shop, it had more of a café vibe where you could stop and rest for a bit — nice for a travel break. ![Microwave corner for heating up potato bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout-09-1k1e3-966.webp) ![Self-service microwave area on one side of the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout-10-176jo-966.webp) There's a microwave set up on one side, so you can heat up the potato bread and eat it warm right there~ ![Muse toys displayed in the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout-11-bjj5h-m-966.webp) Another point that made it seem good for visiting with kids was the muse toy! ![Activity corner with muse toy decorating materials](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout-12-u276m-966.webp) > When you buy a muse toy, they also give you materials so you can decorate it yourself right there in the café. It's not just a place to buy bread — kids can do a hands-on activity while adults enjoy bread and a rest, so it'd be especially good for visitors looking for things to do with kids in Sokcho! ## Menu and prices at Sokcho Bultan Gamja Bread The signature menu at Sokcho Bultan Gamja Bread is, well, Sokcho Bultan Gamja Bread itself, made and sold on the same day as a rule. This time I bought a 4-pack of squid-ink potato bread for ₩10,000 and a 12-pack of Sokcho jjondeugi for ₩10,000 together. ![Menu board at Sokcho Bultan Gamja Bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout-13-11yko-966.webp) ![Displayed potato breads and gift set packaging](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout-14-1ryfv-966.webp) - Squid-ink potato bread, 4-pack — ₩10,000 - Sokcho jjondeugi, 12-pack — ₩10,000 This time I bought both the potato bread and the jjondeugi together. The potato breads are individually wrapped, so they'd also work well as travel gifts or snacks to share. ## How does the squid-ink potato bread taste reheated? After about 20 seconds in the microwave, the squid-ink potato bread was soft and chewy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. With cream cheese and butter mixed in, it was savory and not too sweet, so I could keep eating without feeling weighed down. ![Takeout bag of potato bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout-15-vjohm-966.webp) I ordered it for takeout and got it right away. ![Individually wrapped squid-ink potato bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout-16-1bn01-966.webp) ![Visual of the black squid-ink potato bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout-17-6elmq-966.webp) Seeing the squid-ink potato bread for the first time, it doesn't look like the potato bread you usually picture — it's black like a lump of charcoal, which gives it a really unique look, haha. ![Potato filling inside a halved potato bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout-18-1cyaa-966.webp) ![Close-up of the cross-section of the reheated potato bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout-19-19ukj-966.webp) They say the color comes from squid ink, and when I split it in half, the chewy dough was packed with potato filling inside. After about 20 seconds in the microwave, the outside was soft and chewy while the inside had a nicely fluffy potato texture. Maybe because of the cream cheese and butter, it had a savory richness on top of the potato's plain flavor, and it wasn't as sweet as I expected — which I liked! In particular, it wasn't artificially oversweetened, so I could keep eating it without feeling heavy. ### The Sokcho jjondeugi 12-pack set The 12-pack of Sokcho jjondeugi comes in a cute squid-shaped package, which would especially appeal to anyone who loves old-school Korean snacks. With several pieces inside, it also seemed good as a gift. ![Sokcho jjondeugi set in squid-shaped packaging](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout-20-1fbdb-966.webp) ![12-pack of Sokcho jjondeugi packaging](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout-21-1vr07-966.webp) The Sokcho jjondeugi I packed along came in a cute squid-shaped package — exactly the kind of visual that anyone who loves old-school snacks would like! ![Sokcho jjondeugi taken out of the bag](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout-22-npc20-966.webp) ![Close-up of the chewy jjondeugi texture](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout-23-1b5bh-966.webp) It has a chewy bite that feels like a nostalgic snack, offering a different kind of fun from the potato bread. Since it's made using a Sokcho specialty, it also felt good to pick up as a travel souvenir, and with several pieces inside it seemed great for gifting. ## Verdict and what could be better There are already so many good bakeries in Sokcho, but Sokcho Bultan Gamja Bread stood out for its distinct look and flavor, both. The black squid-ink dough is packed full of potato filling, plus the savory richness of cream cheese and butter, giving it a feel that's a bit different from your typical sweet dessert bread! Still, if you're looking for something a bit different from the usual Sokcho snacks as a gift, this could be a good choice~ Would I revisit? ⭐⭐⭐⭐ One drawback: since it's made and sold same-day only, going late means the item you want might already be sold out. One-line summary! A Sokcho potato bread spot with chewy squid-ink dough packed full of plain, savory potato filling! ### Who should stop at Sokcho Bultan Gamja Bread? - Anyone looking for a special snack during a Sokcho trip - Anyone searching for a good Sokcho bakery - People who like plain, savory bread - Anyone looking for a Sokcho travel gift - Anyone who wants an easy takeout stop while driving around - Fans of nostalgic snacks like potato bread or jjondeugi ## Where it is - Sokcho Bultan Gamja Bread Main Store (속초불탄감자빵 본점) - 34-20 Haksapyeong-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 속초시 학사평길 34-20 1층 - 38.2032349, 128.5249116 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%86%8D%EC%B4%88%EB%B6%88%ED%83%84%EA%B0%90%EC%9E%90%EB%B9%B5%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@38.2032349,128.5249116,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@between-cafe-stops/sokcho-burnt-potato-bread-parking-takeout/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
