How the potato bread and jjondeugi taste unheated

📌 Order — Sokcho Bultan Gamja Bread 1 box ₩10,000 / squid-flavored jjondeugi 1 box ₩10,000

Opening the box of potato bread, each piece was individually wrapped. Being individually wrapped makes it easy to eat one at a time as a snack, and also easy to toss one into your bag when you're in a hurry.

It said you'd enjoy it more if microwaved, but since I was too impatient, I decided to just taste it as-is~ The chewy, soft bread went well with the smoothly mashed potato.

It wasn't overpowering and, more than anything, wasn't too sweet. A flavor with the subtle, savory taste of boiled potato.

The jjondeugi was also individually wrapped, each one holding just the right amount for one serving.

It has a thicker chew than the jjondeugi I remember eating as a kid. Since it's squid-flavored, it almost felt like I was eating actual squid.

Being a thicker jjondeugi, the texture is great and it's perfect for when your mouth feels a bit bored, so I found myself reaching for more without noticing. That chewy texture with the subtle squid aroma kept me coming back.

Especially since the calories are really low, you can eat it without much guilt. If you're dieting, it might be a good snack to keep you from breaking out into a binge, haha.

Sokcho Bultan Gamja Bread, a famous Sokcho bakery where you can enjoy tasty potato bread and a quiet rest in a pretty space. If you're looking for a simple snack or a travel gift while traveling in Sokcho, it's worth a visit.
