Choosing two plain castellas without whipped cream unlocks the bundle discount, so an original (jinsim) castella and a mugwort castella came to 16,500 won to go, eaten as a breakfast snack with milk, Greek yogurt and melon.

If you buy castella as single items without whipped cream, the combo discount kicks in — ₩900 off for a two-item set, ₩1,200 off for a three-item set. ![Opening the box of original Jinsim castella](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-guraedong-bakery-castella-bundle-set/gimpo-guraedong-bakery-castella-bundle-set-16-1jy8w-900.webp) The original Jinsim castella needs no introduction — nutty, soft, and universally likable. I'd tried a slice of the mugwort castella before through a Naver review event, and the subtle mugwort aroma was so appealing that I decided to buy it this time. ![Box packed thick and full with Jinsim castella](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-guraedong-bakery-castella-bundle-set/gimpo-guraedong-bakery-castella-bundle-set-17-13tyj-900.webp) The box is packed thick and full with castella — it looks generous just from the sight of it. Doesn't the side view kind of look like a thick dictionary? The word "Jinsim" (진심, meaning "sincerity") printed on it feels intuitive yet somehow emotional — it seemed to carry the bakery's slogan, "sell sincerity, buy peace of mind." > Sell sincerity, buy peace of mind. ![Cross-section of mugwort castella showing its green tint](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-guraedong-bakery-castella-bundle-set/gimpo-guraedong-bakery-castella-bundle-set-18-19cau-900.webp) The mugwort castella has a deep, subtle green tint characteristic of mugwort, making for an even more striking look. The golden, warm-toned exterior contrasts with the vivid green interior, which made me even more excited to taste it. I found cutting it into 6 slices gave just the right thickness for eating. ## Castella breakfast with milk, Greek yogurt and melon ![Breakfast spread of castella slices with milk and Greek yogurt](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-guraedong-bakery-castella-bundle-set/gimpo-guraedong-bakery-castella-bundle-set-19-1bhm9-1200.webp) Here's my breakfast! One slice each of original and mugwort castella, plus milk, Greek yogurt, and fruit. Eating it this way is really filling, and the pairing with Greek yogurt is fantastic. When you cut the Jinsim castella in half, you can feel a dense yet fluffy, cushiony texture packed with moisture right at your fingertips. Thanks to that moist texture, you get a satisfying, slightly chewy pull. The original castella, with its sweet egg-and-milk flavor, turns melt-in-your-mouth soft when dipped in milk, filling your mouth with softness. ![Castella layered with Greek yogurt and fruit](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-guraedong-bakery-castella-bundle-set/gimpo-guraedong-bakery-castella-bundle-set-20-y1sev-900.webp) Layering Greek yogurt with your favorite fruit adds the yogurt's thickness and the fruit's refreshing sweetness, giving a richness that almost tastes like a fruit whipped-cream cake. I paired mine with melon, and the sweetness matched perfectly. ![Plate of castella served with melon](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-guraedong-bakery-castella-bundle-set/gimpo-guraedong-bakery-castella-bundle-set-21-1gre3-900.webp) ![Mugwort castella cut into 6 slices](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-guraedong-bakery-castella-bundle-set/gimpo-guraedong-bakery-castella-bundle-set-22-15r9u-m-900.webp) ### Will kids actually eat mugwort castella? The mugwort castella has a slightly bitter, earthy mugwort aroma that blends with the castella's sweetness for a subtle yet deep flavor. I worried the kids might resist the distinct mugwort scent, but it came through pleasantly mild, and they ate it up happily. Jinsim Castella's mugwort version instantly broke the stereotype that mugwort flavor is only for older folks. ![Mugwort castella served alongside Greek yogurt](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-guraedong-bakery-castella-bundle-set/gimpo-guraedong-bakery-castella-bundle-set-23-cyos7-900.webp) A lot of desserts sold these days are so overly sweet that eating a lot feels like a burden. Jinsim Castella isn't too sweet, so you keep reaching for more, and pairing it with Greek yogurt turns it into a really elevated snack. ![Mugwort castella enjoyed with a cup of tea](https://img.superchart.com/images/gimpo-guraedong-bakery-castella-bundle-set/gimpo-guraedong-bakery-castella-bundle-set-24-9a2hl-900.webp) Personally, I think the original Jinsim castella pairs perfectly with milk or coffee, while the mugwort castella goes best with a fragrant cup of tea! ## Is Jinsim Castella Gimpo Gurae Main Branch worth it? Final verdict - A great healthy snack and gift for the whole family! - Budget-friendly thanks to the combo discount! - The Jinsim Castella and Greek yogurt combo comes recommended!

Since they use antibiotic-free eggs, I trust what I'm feeding my kids, and I end up buying it as a snack every time I'm in Gurae-dong.
