Why is Black Garlic Salt Bread in Danyang so popular?
Black Garlic Salt Bread is said to be a Danyang salt bread bakery that uses Danyang six-clove garlic, sun-dried sea salt from Taean and Sinan, and top-grade French gourmet butter. When you hear "Danyang salt bread," you might wonder, was Danyang famous for salt bread? But unlike the salt bread at an ordinary bakery, this one uses these special ingredients, and I heard it's become a must-have on a Danyang trip for young people these days, so I went to find it.
Danyang salt bread bakery, Black Garlic Salt Bread
They say it's another version of Danyang Bakery (단양제빵소), which is already so hot in Danyang that the waiting line stretches on like a string of sausages. A bagel place I used to love in Seoul opened a salt bread shop as its second branch too, so salt bread really must be trending these days! haha It's delicious, so I'm all for it!
Where is Black Garlic Salt Bread, and where do you park?
Black Garlic Salt Bread is inside Gugyeong Market in Danyang, about 100 m from Danyang Bakery. Park at the free Hasang public car park; it's about a 3-minute walk from the car park to the market.
If the free Hasang public car park is full, you can use the Dojeon-ri Beonji public car park instead! It's also a 3-minute walk, so it was easy to park and visit.
Black Garlic Salt Bread bakes and sells everything the same day
Black Garlic Salt Bread is a Danyang salt bread bakery that bakes and sells on the same day. They bake healthily with no chemical additives, no preservatives or coloring at all, and they say they knead the dough by hand every day to deliver the freshest, best taste. The black garlic that goes into the salt bread is also made in the shop itself, I heard.
How to get ₩1,000 off a salt bread set
If you bought something at Black Garlic Nurungji Dakgangjeong (crispy-rice fried chicken) or Danyang Bakery, there's an event giving ₩1,000 off a salt bread set at Black Garlic Salt Bread. The same owner must run all three shops! How did they open nothing but amazing shops? Honestly, I hope the owner gets rich.
What salt bread flavors does Black Garlic Salt Bread sell?
There were 4 salt bread flavors at Black Garlic Salt Bread:
- Original salt bread
- Garlic salt bread
- Black garlic salt bread

What comes in the ₩13,000 Set 2
I bought Set 2 (2 original + 1 garlic + 1 black garlic) for ₩13,000 after the ₩1,000 discount. Since I was on a Danyang trip, I was picking up all sorts of things at the market, and it was nice that the salt bread has set menus too, which makes choosing easy.
The ₩6,000 ice cream salt bread I missed out on
If I'd eaten at the market right away, I would have had the ₩6,000 ice cream salt bread, which looked like such a bargain. They use Sangha Farm ice cream, so salt bread plus Sangha Farm ice cream seemed like a total win, but I was full from lunch and planned to take everything to go, so I just packed the set and headed home!
Packing tip: leave the salt bread bag slightly open
They told me that if you close the bag tightly as soon as you get it, the salt bread can turn chewy. So I left it slightly open on the back seat of the car, and the fragrant butter smell nearly drove me crazy. I held back the urge to just pull one out in the car, and as soon as I got home I opened the salt bread and savored it.
Original vs. garlic vs. black garlic salt bread: taste comparison
Maybe because of the French gourmet butter, the original salt bread at Black Garlic Salt Bread was plenty delicious and mild all on its own. The black garlic salt bread has a subtle garlic flavor that makes it more distinctive and tasty.
Personally, both the garlic and black garlic flavors are garlic-bread style, with a bit more butter aroma added. The black garlic feels more "Danyang," so I think it would make a good gift.
Is Black Garlic Salt Bread a good Danyang garlic gift?
When you visit Danyang, you absolutely have to take home something garlic-related, and besides the garlic bread from Danyang Bakery, I personally strongly recommend the salt bread from Black Garlic Salt Bread too!
