Sokcho bakery: Dolomites photo wall and chunky potato bread, Bultan

In short

Sokcho Bultan Gamja Bread Main Store is a potato bread bakery on Haksapyeong-gil at the foot of Seoraksan in Sokcho, Gangwon. After sampling the squid ink potato bread, the writer bought two boxes of potato bread plus squid, red snow crab and dakgangjeong (sweet crispy fried chicken) flavored jjondeugi (chewy grilled snack strips), and was struck by the mild flavor and the bits of lightly mashed potato you can bite into. Sokcho Bultan Gamja Bread is worth a stop for a not-too-sweet travel snack or a neat Sokcho souvenir.

A great bakery in Sokcho: Sokcho Bultan Gamja Bread (속초불탄감자빵). I picked the squid ink potato bread as a snack souvenir from my Seoraksan trip in Sokcho.

What does the potato bread at Sokcho Bultan Gamja Bread taste like?

The potato bread here isn't very sweet. It's a plain snack with pure potato flavor. The outside is chewy, and the inside is full of fluffy potato that's only partly mashed, so you can bite into little chunks.

Today's travel snack~ a plain, not-too-sweet, healthy snack

Today's snack was Sokcho potato bread, plain and really delicious. Pure potato flavor. Not very sweet. The outside is chewy~~~ and the inside is full of fluffy mashed potato. It isn't completely mashed, and the leftover potato chunks make it even tastier.

The best point is that the potato isn't sweet. It's soft and you can taste the potato's own gentle sweetness. I want to keep eating it.

The main store is on Haksapyeong-gil, at the foot of Seoraksan in Sokcho, and it has its own parking lot. It's a Sokcho hot spot, so the lot was fairly full on the day I visited.

It sits at the foot of Seoraksan. The outside of the building is covered in colorful paintings, so you can spot it from far away. Great visibility, haha. It's a Sokcho hot spot, so there were quite a lot of cars in the lot.

What is squid ink potato bread?

The squid ink potato bread has squid ink in the outer dough, which turns it black. Inside the thin black dough, it's packed with mashed potato.

Squid ink potato bread. The shell of the bread is black from squid ink. The black dough is thin, not thick, and the inside is full of mashed potato. You can really taste the gentle sweetness of new potatoes. It isn't very sweet, so it's a taste anyone, young or old, will like!!
