It was not overly sweet, so I kept reaching for more 😆 It was absolutely perfect with coffee. ![Moist coffee bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-black-sesame-bread/jongno-black-sesame-bread-05-16bse-900.webp) ### Black sesame bread The black sesame bread had such a strong nutty flavor 🖤 The aroma of black sesame hit right away with the first bite. The filling was soft and rich, which made it very satisfying 😊 It was nutty with a slight sweetness, so I did not get tired of it. Anyone who loves black sesame would definitely enjoy this one 👍 ![Black sesame bread with a soft filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-black-sesame-bread/jongno-black-sesame-bread-06-8v8rb-900.webp) ### Squid ink condensed milk bread The squid ink condensed milk bread caught my eye from the start 🖤✨ It has condensed milk cream inside the black bread, and the combination was much better than I expected. The condensed milk is sweet, but with the bread the balance was just right 😍 It was chewy yet soft, so I kept reaching for it. If you like sweet treats, this is a must-try. ### Onion bagel This was my number-one pick 🥹 The outside was wonderfully crisp, and the onion cream cheese inside was incredible.
