Sokcho travel snack bakery: charred-look potato bread at Bultan Gamja

Sokcho Bultan Gamja Bread Main Store is a potato bread bakery café on Haksapyeong-gil in Sokcho, Gangwon. Its bultan gamja bread (burnt-look potato bread) is baked black on the outside like a charred potato, and cutting one in half showed a chewy crust around a soft potato filling, with each piece individually wrapped for snacking or taking away. Sokcho Bultan Gamja Bread Main Store is worth a stop if you want a snack other than Sokcho's usual fried chicken and tempura.

The writer took home the 6-piece set (₩17,000), with one each of red crab, abai, fire jjamppong, pollack roe cream, gochu japchae (stir-fried peppers and beef) and Sokcho potato, then cut each one in half to share with family. For anyone who wants a market snack other than dakgangjeong, the 6-piece set from Samsam Goroke is the easiest way to compare every flavor.
