After sampling both flavors, we chose the double black garlic flavor for the car ride and saved the makgeolli for a post-trip feast at home. A perfect last-stop pairing for a Danyang trip. ## Good to know - **Black garlic makgeolli**: ₩10,000 for a set of 2 bottles - **Black garlic makgeolli shelf life**: About 40 days *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* ![Black garlic nurungji dakgangjeong at Danyang Gugyeong Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-01-1rn4w-1200.webp) ![Packaged dakgangjeong food at Danyang Gugyeong Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-02-2tap4-900.webp) ## Black Garlic Nurungji Dakgangjeong at Danyang Gugyeong Market ![Visiting Danyang Heukmaneul Nurungji Dakgangjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-03-1dox7-900.webp) A must-visit dakgangjeong (sweet crispy Korean fried chicken) spot at Danyang Gugyeong Market. We’ve already stopped by and eaten here several times, and it’s so good that buying dakgangjeong at Gugyeong Market has become the final stop whenever we come to Danyang. ![Dakgangjeong ordering and sampling information](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-04-nb69j-900.webp) ## How do you choose between the two flavors? Order directly at the front of the shop, get your receipt, and they’ll tell you how long the wait will be. But first, you have to choose one of two flavors—and generously, they let you sample them!!! ![Sampling double black garlic flavor dakgangjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-05-76bb1-900.webp) This is the double black garlic flavor dakgangjeong, with a deep black garlic aroma and a thicker, stickier sauce. ![Original dakgangjeong with nurungji](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-06-wn2s2-900.webp) This redder one is the familiar classic dakgangjeong flavor, but pieces of nurungji (scorched rice) are tucked throughout. It feels familiar, while the nurungji adds something new. ![Choosing black garlic flavor dakgangjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-07-7qto2-900.webp) We’d always bought the original flavor before, but after sampling this time, we carefully chose the black garlic flavor! ![Black garlic makgeolli carry-handle packaging](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-08-o6w6x-900.webp) ## Black garlic makgeolli as a travel souvenir Danyang Heukmaneul Nurungji Dakgangjeong also sells black garlic makgeolli (Korean rice wine): two bottles are ₩10,000. It comes in a carry-handle package, so it was easy to buy as a travel souvenir and carry around. ![Black garlic makgeolli travel souvenir](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-09-fr2tj-900.webp) ![Two-bottle set of black garlic makgeolli](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-10-det5j-900.webp) We also got black garlic makgeolli, which looked like it would pair perfectly with the black garlic nurungji dakgangjeong! ![Dakgangjeong and black garlic makgeolli pairing](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-11-7ur3r-900.webp) Danyang has all kinds of garlic dishes, and everyone walks around carrying shopping bags of dakgangjeong or bread. We joined the crowd and headed home with our box of black garlic nurungji dakgangjeong! There are lots of garlic dishes in Danyang, but dakgangjeong is our couple favorite. We come often and eat it often, but never get tired of it~~~ ![Box of dakgangjeong from a Danyang trip](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-12-t53qs-900.webp) ## Opening the dakgangjeong box as soon as we get in the car Our routine is taking a bite as soon as we get in the car. It smelled so delicious that we couldn’t wait and opened the box right away. ![Dakgangjeong box opened in the car](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-13-u3sq8-900.webp) Thin nurungji is mixed in with dakgangjeong coated in a gorgeous sauce. You can tell right away that it’s intensely flavored and sticky, but even with black garlic, it isn’t overwhelming. The subtly fragrant black garlic is actually the charm of this double black garlic dakgangjeong. ![Black garlic dakgangjeong with thick sticky sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-14-1b7at-900.webp) We said we’d only have one bite and eat the rest at home, but it was so moreish that one bite became two... and then kept increasing haha. The nurungji is wonderfully crunchy, and it’s coated in the seasoned sauce too, so delicious. ![Dakgangjeong with nurungji and seasoned sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-15-1mrzu-900.webp) ## Continuing our Danyang post-trip feast at home As soon as the trip was over and we got home, we decided to have a little after-party with dakgangjeong and makgeolli. ![Dakgangjeong post-trip feast prepared at home](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-16-126o9-900.webp) The way to enjoy a trip longer is to finish it with food bought at the destination. We often buy it while in Danyang too, but we always make a point of buying it on the day we head home. That way, eating it at home lets us look back on the Danyang trip all over again~ ![A Danyang trip meal of dakgangjeong at home](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-17-1g2gd-900.webp) It comes with chicken pickles, too. ![Chicken pickles served with dakgangjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-18-s1tiu-900.webp) There’s also a generous amount of fried lotus root and nurungji. ![Fried lotus root and nurungji sides](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-19-14lnp-900.webp) The chicken is tender, the sauce is delicious, and we absolutely count this among the best dakgangjeong places at Korean travel destinations. The portion is big enough that the two of us sometimes have leftovers. When that happens, we freeze the dakgangjeong and later warm it briefly in the microwave or air fryer. Just a note, though: if you save the nurungji in the freezer or fridge, it turns tough later, so it’s best eaten on the day you buy it. ![Dakgangjeong and nurungji before freezing leftovers](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-20-1ebd8-900.webp) And we ate it together with makgeolli made from 100% black garlic! ![Black garlic makgeolli and dakgangjeong table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-21-19deq-900.webp) ![Makgeolli made with black garlic](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-22-1xih8-900.webp) The black garlic makgeolli had a shelf life of about 40 days, so it keeps for over a month and can be enjoyed slowly. ![Black garlic makgeolli with a shelf life of about 40 days](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-23-ut5cb-900.webp) Black garlic makgeolli is a perfect match for black garlic nurungji dakgangjeong. The black garlic makgeolli had such a deep black garlic fragrance that it almost felt like drinking a medicinal liquor. It has a wholesome herbal scent that older adults might enjoy more than younger people, so I think it would make a nice gift for elders, too. The holiday is coming up soon—if you take a family trip to Danyang, I recommend this combination! Danyang travel food filled with garlic. ![Packaged garlic foods from a Danyang trip](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli-24-1b0kx-900.webp) ## Where it is - Danyang Heukmaneul Nurungji Dakgangjeong (단양흑마늘누룽지닭강정) (단양흑마늘누룽지닭강정) - 31-1 Dojeon 4-gil, Danyang-eup, Danyang-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea - 충청북도 단양군 단양읍 도전4길 31-1 - 36.982746, 128.3694932 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8B%A8%EC%96%91%ED%9D%91%EB%A7%88%EB%8A%98%EB%88%84%EB%A3%BD%EC%A7%80%EB%8B%AD%EA%B0%95%EC%A0%95/@36.982746,128.3694932,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@cafe-afternoons/danyang-garlic-chicken-makgeolli/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
