Today I'm sharing a tasty snack I found while visiting Namdaemun Market. Wandering the market, there's so much you want to try.
This time, a nutty smell pulled me in and I bought peanut buns. It's Daesin Ttangkong-ppang Namdaemun Market branch (대신땅콩빵)!
The Namdaemun Market food alley has plenty of famous snacks, but peanut buns turned out to be an easy, no-fuss one to enjoy.
I took them home that day and ate them with my wife, haha. Okay, let's start the review of what I bought!
Where is Daesin Ttangkong-ppang in Namdaemun Market, and when is it open?
Daesin Ttangkong-ppang Namdaemun Market branch is at 7 Namdaemunsijang 2-ga-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea, open Monday to Saturday 10:00–19:00 (last order 18:30). It's closed on Sundays.
How to get there from Hoehyeon Station Exit 5
Come out of Hoehyeon Station Exit 5, head toward Hyojason Wangmandu (dumpling shop), and go into the alley; you'll spot a yellow sign.
It's tucked inside the market alley, so it's fun to find while browsing. Walking around the Namdaemun Market food alley, you run into all kinds of snack shops.
Daesin's yellow shop sign stands out, so it was fairly easy to find.
They keep baking peanut buns right in front of the shop, so the nutty smell drifts out. With a smell like that, it's hard to just walk past, haha.
What peanuts does Daesin Ttangkong-ppang use?
The wording that caught my eye most in front of the shop was about the peanuts. They stress their own batter, "the only one in Korea," and 100% peanuts they make themselves.
They also sell peanut butter made from peanuts, so it's not just a peanut bun shop.
Hunting for good eats in Namdaemun Market, you find everything from quick snacks to foods that make good gifts.
Daesin has a wide range of peanut-based items, so even just browsing was fun.

- Peanut buns: 20 for ₩3,000 / 45 for ₩6,000 / 80 for ₩10,000 (80 boxed)

The prices were less painful than I expected. You can pick the peanut buns by count, so it works as a solo snack or for sharing with family and friends.
We thought a little about the egg bread too, but decided to focus on the peanut buns that day, haha.
Buying the 80-bun takeout box
What we chose was the 80 peanut buns (₩10,000). An order of 80 comes packed in a box.
At first I wondered if it would be an awful lot, but thinking about the price, it felt fine.
I considered eating them right away while strolling the Namdaemun Market food alley, but that day we decided to take them home and eat with my wife.
Carrying the boxed buns home, I was quietly looking forward to that nutty smell the whole way.
How do Daesin's peanut buns taste at home?
The box was full of bite-sized, peanut-shaped buns, lightly crisp outside and soft and moist inside. They were small enough to pop into your mouth in one bite, with peanuts studded on the surface.
The golden-brown shape was cute too, haha. My wife and I each took one, and the first thing I noticed was the nutty peanut aroma.
The outside was slightly crisp and the inside soft and moist. I liked that it wasn't too sweet, and the peanut's nutty flavor spread gently.
Personally I prefer mellow, nutty snacks to strongly sweet bread, and this was definitely closer to my taste. My wife tried one, said it was good, and kept reaching for more, haha.
Verdict: a nutty, not-too-sweet snack in Namdaemun Market
Daesin's peanut buns were a snack with an appealing nutty, mellow flavor. You can buy them freshly baked, and I was happy that the prices weren't steep.
Above all, we took home 80 and ate them with my wife, and we kept reaching for more than I expected, haha. Personally, what I liked best was that it isn't too sweet and you taste the peanut.
If you're looking for good eats in Namdaemun Market, I think it's worth a stop. I recommend it to anyone hunting for a different snack in the Namdaemun Market food alley. If you like peanuts or nutty bread like me, I think you'll be happy with it :)
