Ikseon-dong bakery bread picked by taste: onion bagel, mugwort, Munhwa

Munhwa Bakery is a neighborhood-style bakery on Donhwamun-ro in Ikseon-dong, Jongno, Seoul. The counter holds a dozen kinds — garlic bread, white bean paste bread, salt bread and coffee bread through injeolmi, mugwort rice cake and black sesame bread — and after a long think the pick was an onion bagel and a mugwort rice cake bread. The mugwort rice cake bread, fragrant with mugwort and chewy with rice cake, is worth buying again, making Munhwa Bakery a good last stop for bread to take home after a day in Ikseon-dong.
