Salt bread shop by Danyang's Jandomun gate: Black Garlic Salt Bread

Buying Danyang black garlic nurungji chicken (단양흑마늘누룽지닭강정) at Gugyeong Market gets you ₩1,000 off per box of black garlic salt bread!? So of course I went to buy some black garlic salt bread too haha

Black Garlic Salt Bread, a bakery at Danyang's Gugyeong Market, sits right at the entrance of Jandomun, so it wasn't hard to find haha. Just walk right from the black garlic nurungji chicken shop and you'll hit the black garlic salt bread shop!

Whenever I pick bakery items, if there's a garlic baguette or garlic-flavored bread, that's always my first choice!! The moment I got to the entrance, a garlic scent drifted out mixed with fresh bread smell, and I just wanted to take a bite 🥹

Four set options, or buy salt bread by the piece

Black Garlic Salt Bread has four set menus! I ordered Set 1 and Set 2. You can also buy individual pieces, so if you're not into sets, just get whatever flavor you like. And this Danyang market bakery follows a same-day production, same-day sale principle, so you get to try fresh salt bread 👏🏻

I even spotted the rice cookers used to age the black garlic haha. It was oddly fascinating to watch! And as mentioned, there was a sign explaining the discount for buying Danyang black garlic nurungji chicken, so keep that in mind haha!

Turns out this Danyang market bakery, Black Garlic Salt Bread, was started by young people researching garlic cooking!? Haha, really impressive 👍🏻

There are four flavors total!? Original, streusel, garlic, and black garlic! Set 1 is 4 original / Set 2 is 2 original, 1 garlic, 1 black garlic — that's the combination!

After packing our salt bread, we went off to explore the market haha

Opening the boxes at home a day after the guesthouse stay

Seeing me buy some, the couples from my sibling's group who came along also bought two sets each lol. One of the couples suggested we share what they bought together at the guesthouse, so I decided to bring the ones I bought to my parents instead 🤎

They said it's fine at room temperature for a day, and about a week if refrigerated after that, so I left it at the guesthouse and blasted the AC the whole ride carrying it carefully — and when I checked, the condition was really good haha. This is Choco, my mom's dog! Hearing me rustling the bag, she sat right in front of me staring, asking for a snack lol 🥹🥹

Set 2 taste test: original vs garlic vs black garlic

Here's the Set 2 combination!?

The moment I opened the bag, a garlic scent drifted out. I tried the original first!? Garlic aroma comes through, but the flavor is more savory and salty than garlicky — pretty similar to a regular salt bread. Still, even a day after purchase, it wasn't dry at all — nice and moist haha

This is the garlic salt bread! Bits of garlic scattered on top!? The flavor is similar to original, with garlic bits adding to the chew, but honestly, this one just wasn't for my taste haha,,🤢

Why black garlic salt bread was the one pick

My favorite by far is the black garlic salt bread!! The garlic flavor is strong and really soaked into the bread, so it was seriously delicious! I regretted not buying more ㅜ 🥹

I was extra curious about Black Garlic Salt Bread at Danyang's Gugyeong Market since it's supposed to be something special you can only get in Danyang, and it really was delicious once I tried it. Since Danyang is famous for black garlic, salt bread made with it felt genuinely special! Next time I visit Danyang, I'm definitely stocking up on my favorite — the black garlic salt bread haha 👍🏻💛
