In short
Hodu Kkakki Brothers (호두까끼형제) is a takeout-only shop for sugar-free handmade pies, tucked in a Dogok-dong alley near Exit 4 of Yangjae Station in Gangnam, Seoul. The writer bought the 34,900 won Premium Assorted Pie as a gift and tried all 4 flavors.

I had plans near Yangjae Station this weekend and needed a gift, so I stopped by Hodu Kkakki Brothers (호두까끼형제) for the first time in a while!! It's a takeout-only shop in the alley near Exits 3 and 4 of Yangjae Station, specializing in sugar-free handmade pies made with organic ingredients, which makes them a great dessert gift. People I've given them to have reacted really well, so I've been here many times!
Today I ordered the Premium Mix Pie, which lets you try 4 flavors at once, and gave it as a gift. I'll go through what's in it, plus exactly how to store walnut pie and for how long if you can't finish it all at once!!

The cute entrance with its eye-catching red door stands out! You can see little pie models and adorable nutcracker doll characters, haha
Open the red automatic door and step inside,
Can you eat in at Hodu Kkakki Brothers?
The Yangjae Station shop is a small takeout-only space, so no eating inside!! If you have errands near Yangjae Station, you order to go and pick it up,
and you can browse the showcase of different walnut pies to choose. With the Dubai craze going on lately, there's a new limited-quantity item called the Dubai Crispy Pie, haha. They said it's a steady seller!!
Hodu Kkakki Brothers menu and gift assorted pie options
Here's the full menu at the Dogok-dong shop. There are quite a few drinks as well as walnut pies! The best-selling gift assortments are
these 3, plus the Premium Mix Pie, for 4 in total!!! I liked that you can see each set's contents in a picture beforehand. I chose the Premium Mix Pie!
There's also a certification mark for a pest-control-managed space, and since you can look over the whole menu before buying, this seems to be a place people often come for gift desserts.
The box is super sturdy, and they include a leaflet with the brand story, walnut pie storage instructions and more, which makes it feel worth gifting, haha
How does the Hodu Kkakki Brothers Premium Assorted Pie taste?
This is the box the pies come in!
The leaflet explains the Hodu Kkakki Brothers brand. It started in 2017, and to make a dessert that's sweet yet healthy, the pies use no refined sugar and are flavored only with natural honey, oligosaccharide syrup and maple syrup! They also use only organic wheat flour, and the dough combines rice flour and almond flour with natural milk butter, so it's literally a premium walnut pie.
The pie I bought today is the Premium Assorted Pie (₩34,900), which lets you enjoy 4 flavors at once: Signature Walnut Pie, Hazelnut Cacao Pie, Original Pecan Pie and Macadamia Cheese Pie.
- Item: Premium Assorted Pie
- Price: ₩34,900
- Contents: Signature Walnut Pie, Hazelnut Cacao Pie, Original Pecan Pie, Macadamia Cheese Pie
They're incredibly thick and packed full, and you get both the crisp texture and the chewy texture at their maximum! Since everything is made with good ingredients, it's a flavor older folks are bound to love, haha
Walnut pie storage: how long in the fridge or freezer?
Regular pies from Hodu Kkakki Brothers keep within 7 days refrigerated or within 30 days frozen, while cream pies should be eaten as soon as possible, within 3 days. So if you can't finish everything at once, freezing is the way to go, right???
- Regular pies: within 7 days refrigerated / within 30 days frozen
- Cream pies: eat within 3 days
Trying a frozen walnut pie after thawing
I actually froze the leftover Hodu Kkakki Brothers walnut pie, then thawed it naturally for about 10 minutes and tried it.
The crispness didn't die much, and it actually felt chewier with a deeper flavor, so I enjoyed it, haha. If you eat it straight from the freezer you could hurt your teeth, so I recommend thawing it naturally for about 10 minutes!
The assorted pie from Hodu Kkakki Brothers near Yangjae Station is a total must-recommend for thank-you or dessert gifts 👍
