## In short

Buja Hodu is a dessert shop on Hwangnidan-gil in Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk, selling walnut pastries (hodu gwaja) made with 100% rice dough. The writer bought the 24-piece mix box for 27,000 won, with six each of low-sugar red bean, pea cream cheese, matcha and almond praline, checked how each piece is individually wrapped, and found a receipt event running that gives two walnut pastries plus one americano. Buja Hodu's boxes make an easy gift-ready souvenir to carry home from a Gyeongju trip.

[Buja Hodu] a dessert spot on Hwangnidan-gil in Gyeongju

## Why Buja Hodu's walnut pastries as a Gyeongju souvenir?

While traveling in Gyeongju I was wondering what to bring back as a souvenir, and while wandering Hwangnidan-gil I found Buja Hodu and picked up some walnut pastries (hodu gwaja) to give as gifts~! These aren't the plain red-bean-filled walnut pastries you usually see — you can choose from a bunch of flavors, from low-sugar red bean to pea cream cheese, matcha, and almond praline,

and the packaging is neat too, so it seems like a good gift for family or friends after a Gyeongju trip. So let's get into this post about <Buja Hodu>, the Hwangnidan-gil dessert spot that makes a great Gyeongju souvenir~!🤍

## Buja Hodu location and opening hours on Hwangnidan-gil

I found Buja Hodu while wandering around Hwangnidan-gil in Gyeongju, and the sign saying "100% rice dough" caught my eye.

There was also a big sign out front saying "Get your holiday gifts at Buja Hodu," which seems like a good spot for anyone looking for gifts or souvenirs while traveling in Gyeongju.

## How many walnut pastry flavors does Buja Hodu make?

Buja Hodu's walnut pastries come in four flavors: low-sugar red bean / pea cream cheese / matcha / almond praline!!

![Sign listing the four flavors: low-sugar red bean, pea cream cheese, matcha, and almond praline](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidanhil-buja-hodu-mix-box/gyeongju-hwangnidanhil-buja-hodu-mix-box-06-1000f-900.webp)

Unlike typical walnut pastries, being able to pick from several flavors really appealed to me~! Since there are unusual flavors like cream cheese or matcha, it seems easy to pick based on your taste🤍

## Tasting Buja Hodu's walnut pastries in the shop

The owner gave me one to try, and when I cut it in half, the filling inside was packed in pretty generously. The outside was nutty and a little crispy, while the inside had a distinct personality depending on the flavor, so it was fun picking through them one by one.

- Pea cream cheese: soft cream cheese paired with pea filling, a bit more like a dessert
- Matcha: has a subtle matcha flavor, so even people who don't like very sweet desserts would probably like it

☕️🥤🧃🫖 They also sell drinks like americano, café latte, ade, apple juice, and ginseng tea.

## Inside the 27,000-won 24-piece mix: six of each flavor

What I bought was the 24-piece mix☺️ Price: ₩27,000! It's made up of 6 red bean, 6 pea cream cheese, 6 matcha, and 6 almond praline — 24 in total~!

![Buja Hodu's 24-piece mix box packaging](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidanhil-buja-hodu-mix-box/gyeongju-hwangnidanhil-buja-hodu-mix-box-14-5sfk6-900.webp)

Rather than filling the whole box with one flavor, I liked the mix better since I could try a bit of everything!♥️

![The 24-piece mix box containing all four flavors](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidanhil-buja-hodu-mix-box/gyeongju-hwangnidanhil-buja-hodu-mix-box-15-1pcl7-900.webp)

When I opened the box, each walnut pastry was sitting in its own compartment.

![Inside the box, with pastries divided into individual compartments](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidanhil-buja-hodu-mix-box/gyeongju-hwangnidanhil-buja-hodu-mix-box-16-frr7g-900.webp)

They're individually wrapped so they're easy to grab and eat, and there seemed less risk of them getting crushed inside the box haha.

✨Above all, the packaging itself is clean, so instead of just buying it as a snack, it felt like something worth bringing home as a Gyeongju souvenir or gift set^^ If Gyeongju is too far, they also do courier delivery, so if you're interested check out their store^^♥️

## Is Buja Hodu worth a stop in Gyeongju?

When picking a souvenir while traveling in Gyeongju, something practical you can bring home and eat with family beats anything too big or hard to store~! In that sense, Buja Hodu felt like a great Gyeongju souvenir with its clean packaging and variety of flavors. If you want to grab something on your way out of Gyeongju, it's worth stopping by Buja Hodu on Hwangnidan-gil. Enjoy some tasty dessert while browsing Hwangnidan-gil in Gyeongju and grab a gift to take home at the same time~! ♥️
