Walking down the alley, you spot that red door first. It was my first visit, and it felt like a shop from a storybook. It's not a big place, but it definitely has presence. ![Ordering area just inside the entrance of Hodu Kkakki Brothers](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout-04-15y66-900.webp) ### Is there a place to sit? A takeout and delivery shop Hodu Kkakki Brothers runs mainly on takeout and delivery, so there are no seats inside. You open the door and walk straight into the ordering area, and I got my pies quickly after ordering. ![Pie prices and set menu board at Hodu Kkakki Brothers](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout-05-1ud58-900.webp) ## Pie types at Hodu Kkakki Brothers and how to choose The walnut pies at Hodu Kkakki Brothers are priced a little differently by type. If you know exactly which pie you like, ordering it as a set seems best, and if you want a bit of everything, you can bundle several together. For a first visit, though, I think it's good to try several flavors at once! ![Several kinds of pie in the Hodu Kkakki Brothers display case](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout-06-1wl3i-900.webp) ![Handmade pies on display, including walnut and pecan pie](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout-07-1u9k7-900.webp) The display case had many kinds of pie. Besides walnut and pecan, there were kabocha, matcha and cream pies, so first-timers may struggle to choose. ![Pie options by the slice or whole pie at Hodu Kkakki Brothers](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout-08-o2sxe-900.webp) ### Can you buy it by the slice? You can buy the pies by the whole pie or by the slice, so grabbing just one or two slices is fine too. The price is marked on each set, so check it before you choose. ![Price list by set and view of the Hodu Kkakki Brothers shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout-09-2lr1v-900.webp) By the way, the shop is certified as a pest-controlled managed space. ## Handmade pies without refined sugar: good as a gift? ![Shop notice about handmade pies without refined sugar](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout-10-1xb22-900.webp) My girlfriend picked Hodu Kkakki Brothers because it's a handmade pie shop that uses no refined sugar and aims for a healthy sweetness. ![Gift packaging for Hodu Kkakki Brothers handmade pies](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout-11-qx5cn-900.webp) ![Pie box and the pamphlet that came with it](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout-12-1i6nc-900.webp) The packaging is quite stylish too, and so is the pamphlet that comes with it, so it's definitely a great pick for gifts. ![Hodu Kkakki Brothers pie generously topped with nuts](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout-13-113vd-966.webp) As a pie specialist, Hodu Kkakki Brothers is very generous with nuts. It's not just a topping layer; even a single slice gave plenty of nutty richness. And since it's not sweet and tastes wholesome, it suited both my girlfriend and me perfectly. ![Pie box printed with refrigeration instructions](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout-14-1e7cc-900.webp) ### How to store the pies and eat them at their best The best way to eat them is printed on the Hodu Kkakki Brothers box. It said to keep them chilled and eat them cold, so that's how we enjoyed them over 2 days. ## How do the kabocha pie, pecan pie and milk cream walnut pie taste? ![A slice of Hodu Kkakki Brothers kabocha pie](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout-15-1yab-900.webp) The kabocha pie had a stronger flavor of the squash itself than I expected. It was less about sweetness and more the nutty richness kabocha has, so it was an easy dessert to eat without feeling heavy. ![Pecan pie generously topped with pecans](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout-16-1hu1h-900.webp) The pecan pie was topped with plenty of pecans, so the nutty flavor was strong. The crunchy texture and soft filling worked well together, and it paired nicely with an Americano. ![Hodu Kkakki Brothers milk cream walnut pie](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout-17-143ba-900.webp) The milk cream walnut pie had a rich milk cream cheese taste that made me keep closing my eyes to savor it. ^^ ## Is Hodu Kkakki Brothers near Yangjae Station worth visiting? ![Closing photo of handmade pies from Hodu Kkakki Brothers near Yangjae Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout/yangjae-dogok-handmade-pie-takeout-18-16t9i-900.webp) Hodu Kkakki Brothers is a café-style shop near Yangjae Station where you can try a variety of handmade pies.
