If a pie feels too cold after delivery or takeout, let it thaw naturally at room temperature for about 5–10 minutes and it tastes even better, they say. ![Introduction to Hodu Kkakki Brothers' refined-sugar-free handmade pies](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box-12-1ywn5-886.webp) ![Ingredients used in Hodu Kkakki Brothers pies](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box-13-1ak06-886.webp) ### The ingredients Hodu Kkakki Brothers focuses on Hodu Kkakki Brothers emphasizes handmade pies baked fresh in the shop every day with no refined sugar. They use honey, oligosaccharide syrup, maple syrup and the like for a sweetness close to nature, and say they use organic flour, Korean rice flour, butter made from milk of New Zealand pasture-raised cows, and Korean honey. Fillings like the cream filling, milk cream, chocolate syrup and strawberry jam are also made in the shop, which made it feel even more carefully done. I was impressed that they use no preservatives or flavorings either. ## How did the Premium Nut Pie MIX.1 taste? ![Packaging of Hodu Kkakki Brothers Premium Nut Pie MIX.1](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box-14-2vybd-886.webp) What I tried at Hodu Kkakki Brothers was the Premium Nut Pie MIX.1. It includes the signature walnut pie, original pecan pie, hazelnut cacao pie and macadamia cheese pie, so you get several flavors in one go. ![Nut Pie MIX.1 box with four nut pies](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box-15-1kt22-886.webp) I really love nuts, so the moment I opened the box I loved the look of all those walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts and macadamias piled on top. ![Mix set of walnut, pecan, hazelnut and macadamia pies](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box-16-e7znv-1200.webp) ![Hodu Kkakki Brothers pie topped with plenty of nuts](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box-17-6oc19-886.webp) ![Hodu Kkakki Brothers signature walnut pie](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box-18-14kp4-886.webp) ### Signature walnut pie The signature walnut pie was true to the basics: nutty walnuts with a moist, sweet filling. A faint hint of cinnamon is the highlight, and it's easy to eat without feeling heavy. ![Hodu Kkakki Brothers original pecan pie](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box-19-19b7b-886.webp) ![Slice of original pecan pie topped with pecans](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box-20-11oba-886.webp) ### Original pecan pie The original pecan pie had a slightly richer, heavier nuttiness than the walnut pie, and the deep flavor unique to pecans was great. Nut lovers will be satisfied. ![Hodu Kkakki Brothers hazelnut cacao pie](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box-21-1jv1z-886.webp) ### Hazelnut cacao pie The hazelnut cacao pie adds the nuttiness of hazelnut to a bittersweet cacao flavor, with real dessert appeal. It has a chocolate feel but isn't overly sweet, so it paired well with tea too. ![Hodu Kkakki Brothers macadamia cheese pie](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box-22-14tx3-886.webp) ### Macadamia cheese pie Personally, the macadamia cheese pie was the one I was looking forward to most. Maybe because I'm a macadamia fanatic, but I especially loved the combo of a soft cheesecake feel with nutty macadamias to bite into. ![Hodu Kkakki Brothers nut pies enjoyed with black tea](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box-23-i1e8c-886.webp) ## What drinks go well with Hodu Kkakki Brothers pies? These pies would be good with coffee too, but I had mine with black tea. The aroma of warm black tea and the nuttiness of the pies went well together, and it felt like having a lovely tea time at home. There's fun in picking them one by one, and each flavor has its own personality, so these pies suit gifts and also people like me who love tea and desserts. ## Where it is - Hodu Kkakki Brothers (호두까끼형제) - 101-ho, 10 Nambusunhwan-ro 351-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 남부순환로351길 10 101호 - 37.4854963, 127.0347577 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%98%B8%EB%91%90%EA%B9%8C%EB%81%BC%ED%98%95%EC%A0%9C/@37.4854963,127.0347577,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@little-caffeine/yangjae-walnut-pie-nut-mix-box/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
