# Gyeongju walnut pastries for a guesthouse breakfast: 24-mix, Buja Hodu - By Nari K. (https://superchart.com/en/@westside-supper/) - Written Sep 22, 2026 - Local places › Cafés › Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk - Sponsored: This post was written after visiting with a product provided by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@westside-supper/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@westside-supper/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/index.md) ## In short Buja Hodu is a walnut pastry (hodu-gwaja) shop on Hwangnidan-gil in Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk, where each pastry is baked in store around one whole walnut. The 24-piece mix arrives individually wrapped in a different color for each flavor, so it works with coffee back at the guesthouse and the leftovers go straight into the freezer, and Buja Hodu also does holiday bojagi wrapping and Smart Store courier delivery. An easy choice for a Gyeongju souvenir gift set. ## Good to know - **Address**: Buja Hodu, 38 Poseok-ro 1095beon-gil, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do - **Hours**: 09:30–20:00 - **Parking**: No parking in front of the shop; use the Hwangnidan-gil public parking lot - **Order**: 24-piece mix - **Menu**: Original, mix, low-sugar, pea cream cheese and red bean walnut pastries; drinks include ssanghwa tea and walnut ice cream affogato - **Seating**: No indoor eating area; small outdoor tables only - **How to buy**: In-store pickup, courier and Smart Store orders, holiday bojagi wrapping available *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* Honestly speaking as a Gyeongju souvenir gift set haha, this beats other bread gifts. It's a walnut pastry, but a whole walnut goes into each one, so it feels premium — snacks these days can feel like too much, but this wasn't overwhelming, it keeps well in the freezer, and there were lots of flavors. ![Buja Hodu walnut pastry gift set on Hwangnidan-gil, Gyeongju](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-01-xb86s-966.webp) - Address: 38 Poseok-ro 1095beon-gil, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea - Hours: 09:30–20:00 ## Where is Buja Hodu and where do you park? The Hwangnidan-gil public lot Buja Hodu (부자호두) is right inside Hwangnidan-gil in Gyeongju, so we parked at the Hwangnidan-gil public parking lot and wandered around before heading in~ No parking right in front of the shop! ![Buja Hodu storefront tucked into a Hwangnidan-gil alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-02-5xiol-966.webp) ![Street view of Hwangnidan-gil in front of Buja Hodu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-03-19i0g-966.webp) ![Vertical shot of the Buja Hodu entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-04-dpcko-768.webp) Since it's tucked inside Hwangnidan-gil, we were walking with our group and went 'oh, walnut pastries?' and just walked in. ![Buja Hodu shop with a sign for holiday bojagi wrapping](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-05-zfk50-966.webp) Especially since it's holiday season right now, this is great as a Gyeongju souvenir gift set — they can wrap it in bojagi (traditional wrapping cloth) for the holidays, which felt way better than a predictable gift. ## Inside Buja Hodu: can you sit and eat there? Buja Hodu doesn't have a dedicated indoor eating area, just some foldable tables set up outside. Inside, they were making the walnut pastries by hand. ![Interior of Buja Hodu and the walnut pastry-making area](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-06-xv37w-966.webp) ![Staff baking and packaging walnut pastries in the shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-07-1n3io-966.webp) Ta-da~ we walked in and they were making the pastries right there in the shop and packaging them, and I thought, wow, this place is the real deal. There's no indoor space to eat there though. ![Outdoor foldable tables at Buja Hodu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-08-1p5fd-768.webp) ![Outdoor seating area at Buja Hodu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-09-1bbtl-768.webp) There were these little foldable tables set up outside~! I went there specifically to buy Gyeongju souvenirs so I didn't really sit and eat, but they had various drinks too, like the traditional ssanghwa tea (herbal tea) or a walnut ice cream affogato. ## Buja Hodu's menu board, including a low-sugar red bean filling Buja Hodu's menu board has original, mix, and various other flavors, plus a separate low-sugar menu. We ordered the 24-piece mix. ![Buja Hodu menu board listing original, mix, and low-sugar options](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-10-10cs5-966.webp) Ta-da, here's the menu board! There were various flavors like original and mix!! And there was a low-sugar menu too, which felt great! Desserts these days are always a bit of a worry, but with big nuts packed in ><, plus a variety of flavors and low-sugar options, it was so nice to be able to eat a range of things. We ordered the 24-piece mix. ## Why Buja Hodu works as a Gyeongju souvenir gift set: wrapping and delivery Buja Hodu's 24-piece mix set looked premium both outside and inside the packaging, and with 100% domestic rice and 24 pieces inside, it was perfect for buying as a Gyeongju souvenir gift set. Besides in-store pickup, they also offer courier delivery and Smart Store purchase. ![Buja Hodu walnut pastry gift set packaging box](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-11-9bz12-966.webp) We brought the whole set home and opened it up, and both the outer and inner packaging were so nice. I thought if you add the bojagi wrap on top of this, it would be absolutely amazing. ![Packaging with courier delivery and Smart Store purchase information](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-12-rjvu9-966.webp) Apparently courier delivery and Smart Store purchase are both possible too~! Since we were already in Gyeongju, we just grabbed it while walking around Hwangnidan-gil, which was more convenient. ![24-piece walnut pastry set labeled 100% domestic rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-13-1k8fr-966.webp) ![Box packed full of 24 walnut pastries](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-14-xhu33-966.webp) Ta-da~ 24 pieces made with 100% domestic rice, truly perfect for a Gyeongju souvenir gift set. This might just become famous as a Gyeongju dessert too >< ![Individually wrapped walnut pastries in different colors by flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-15-1923k-966.webp) We ordered a bunch of different flavors and thought we might mix them up, but the packaging was slightly different colors for each flavor, so I went 'oh~'!!! And inside, everything was individually wrapped so nothing bumped together, which made it more hygienic and clean to eat. (I've got the leftovers in the freezer right now haha) ![A single walnut pastry unwrapped from its individual packaging](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-16-3pgxe-768.webp) ## One whole walnut inside: the first bite is the best part Buja Hodu's walnut pastries look like they each have one whole walnut packed inside. The shell is thin and the filling is packed full, so it was really satisfying to eat. But honestly, more than the outer packaging, the real 'wow' moment was that first bite. Can you see the walnut? It's like a whole walnut is stuffed in there! The shell is thin and it's packed full inside, so the satisfaction level while eating was through the roof!!! ![Cross-section of a walnut pastry showing the whole walnut inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-17-1dhz1-966.webp) ![Walnut pastry filling packed with a large walnut piece](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-18-1jbud-966.webp) You can even see a bit of the walnut peeking out from the outside, and the walnut piece was just the right size, so it was delicious to eat. I want to eat more already hahahaha ![Several bite-sized walnut pastries](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-19-1efrn-966.webp) ## A guesthouse breakfast snack: the pea cream cheese is my top pick Buja Hodu's walnut pastries are bite-sized snacks that were great to eat at the guesthouse without needing to prep anything, and they went well with coffee, so they were perfect as a breakfast substitute. My top pick was the pea cream cheese. We came back to the guesthouse and had them as a snack with everyone. Since they're bite-sized, you don't need to prepare anything separately, and they go well with coffee, so they were perfect for breakfast. ![Walnut pastries eaten with coffee at the guesthouse](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-20-f2eq4-966.webp) ![Pea cream cheese flavor walnut pastry](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-21-714op-768.webp) My top pick is the pea cream cheese~ the pea filling isn't too sweet, and with the cream cheese mixed in, the flavor balance was great, and since the walnut itself is so big, it felt like a Gyeongju dessert with less guilt. ![Cross-section of a low-sugar red bean walnut pastry](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-22-17zgi-768.webp) ![A single low-sugar red bean walnut pastry from Buja Hodu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix-23-6pvj1-1200.webp) The red bean one is low-sugar too, so it felt light to eat!! I think it'd be a good gift to pass along as a Gyeongju souvenir to anyone watching their sugar intake. ## Final verdict on Buja Hodu Buja Hodu is a Gyeongju Hwangnidan-gil dessert shop we happened to walk into, and the packaging is so nice that pickup is available in Gyeongju, but nationwide courier delivery through Smart Store is also possible — but packaging isn't all there is, because this shop truly packs in a whole walnut and generous filling in each pastry, so it's a place you can eat happily~ Stop by if you're in Gyeongju~ ## Where it is - Buja Hodu (부자호두) - 38 Poseok-ro 1095beon-gil, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea - 경상북도 경주시 포석로1095번길 38 B동 105호 - 35.8368363, 129.2075424 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B6%80%EC%9E%90%ED%98%B8%EB%91%90/@35.8368363,129.2075424,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@westside-supper/gyeongju-hwangnidan-walnut-gift-set-mix/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
