The order here was the 6-piece set: Geomundo sea-breeze mugwort, sea-breeze mugwort injeolmi (pounded rice cake), sea-breeze mugwort whole red bean, Udo peanut, Nonsan strawberry and Gwangju real chocolate. The tart Nonsan strawberry purée and the chewy injeolmi rice cake were the two flavors worth coming back for. ## Good to know - **Address**: 25 Jongno 32-gil, 1st floor, Jongno-gu, Seoul - **Set options**: 3-piece and 6-piece sets - **Set ordered**: Geomundo sea-breeze mugwort, sea-breeze mugwort injeolmi, sea-breeze mugwort whole red bean, Udo peanut, Nonsan strawberry, Gwangju real chocolate (6 flavors) - **Single flavors**: Chocolate macadamia, sweet pumpkin, real chocolate, salted sea-breeze mugwort, Korean soybean tofu, sea-breeze mugwort whole red bean, Gwangju real chocolate and more - **Packaging**: Individually heat-sealed, box sealed with a sticker - **Opening days**: Open daily *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* While looking for something different in the dessert scene at Gwangjang Market in Seoul, I came across Ssuk's Choco Pie. Unlike your typical choco pie, this one apparently uses ingredients with strong regional character. I was curious what that would actually taste like, so this time I tried a set that let me sample all six flavors at once — everything from Geomundo sea-breeze mugwort to sea-breeze mugwort injeolmi, Udo peanut, and Nonsan strawberry. Here's my detailed review. ## What is Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul in Gwangjang Market? ![Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul 6-piece set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set-01-y855h-966.webp) First, let me show you the 6-piece choco pie set I ordered. Ssuk's Choco Pie doesn't use marshmallow — they put fresh cream in instead. The shop makes limited quantities daily, and with all the ingredients packed in, it looked even more appetizing. ### Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul address and opening days ![Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul store information sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set-02-1bics-966.webp) Since they're open every day, it felt like a great spot to swing by whenever you're craving dessert while wandering Gwangjang Market. ![Exterior of Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul in Gwangjang Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set-03-uc6mq-966.webp) ![Interior of Ssuk's Choco Pie with green-toned decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set-04-exmsa-966.webp) ![Display shelves inside Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set-05-1m046-966.webp) ![Cute little props displayed in the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set-06-1o2tj-966.webp) ![Display area inside Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set-07-12iit-966.webp) ![Corner of the store with green interior and props](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set-08-wpgp8-966.webp) The green-toned interior caught my eye right away.

Each piece was individually heat-sealed, so the seal held up well and it was easy to just pop them out one at a time. ![Individually wrapped choco pies laid out one by one](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set-17-1svhi-966.webp) ## What does the Gwangju real chocolate pie taste like? ![Gwangju real chocolate pie dusted with cocoa powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set-18-rnkrk-966.webp) ![Gwangju real chocolate pie with chocolate chips inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set-19-1w478-966.webp) The Gwangju real chocolate had cocoa powder dusted on top, and I could really taste the deep, rich chocolate flavor. There were chocolate chips inside too, adding a nice sweetness along with good texture. The sweetness wasn't overwhelming — it was just right, so it was easy to enjoy without feeling heavy, and if you're a fan of chocolate desserts, this one is especially for you. ## What does the Nonsan strawberry purée pie taste like? ![Nonsan strawberry choco pie](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set-20-yy4yl-966.webp) ![Choco pie filled with fresh cream and Nonsan strawberry purée](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set-21-19p1p-966.webp) ![Cross-section of the Nonsan strawberry choco pie](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set-22-1k5a2-966.webp) There was a purée made by simmering Nonsan strawberries together with fresh cream, giving it a tangy yet sweet flavor. The bright, refreshing strawberry taste paired really well with the sweetness of the chocolate, and the smooth fresh cream rounded it all out nicely. ## What does the sea-breeze mugwort injeolmi pie taste like? ![Sea-breeze mugwort injeolmi choco pie](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set-23-1vpf8-966.webp) ![Choco pie filled with injeolmi cream and rice cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set/gwangjang-market-mugwort-chocopie-set-24-1v7jh-1200.webp) This one had injeolmi cream and actual injeolmi (roasted soybean powder rice cake) tucked inside. The rice cake brought out a chewy texture, plus that distinctive nutty flavor injeolmi is known for. The combination of soft cream and chewy rice cake made it a really enjoyable bite. I also filmed the atmosphere of Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul, a popular Gwangjang Market spot, on video. ## Is the 6-flavor set at Ssuk's Choco Pie Seoul worth it? Ssuk's Choco Pie takes the familiar choco pie and turns it into something fresh by adding various regional specialty ingredients. Geomundo sea-breeze mugwort, sea-breeze mugwort injeolmi, and sea-breeze mugwort whole red bean all let you enjoy the distinct aroma and nutty taste of mugwort. Udo peanut had a nice nutty flavor, and Nonsan strawberry was tangy and sweet in a good way. Gwangju real chocolate had that deep chocolate flavor paired nicely with the texture of the chocolate chips. All six flavors were different from each other, so it was fun picking favorites depending on my mood, and it was nice being able to sample a wide range of flavors all at once. It also worked great as a snack alongside coffee or tea.
