This is the storefront, close to Hoehyeon Station Exit 5. It's a spot that stops foreign tourists in their tracks too.
Daesin Ttangkong-ppang menu and peanut bread prices
The shop sells peanut bread (ttangkong-ppang, a small baked cake with peanuts), egg bread (gyeran-ppang), roasted peanuts, peanut butter and peanut smoothies. Peanut bread is ₩3,000 for 20, ₩6,000 for 45 and ₩10,000 for 80, and the prices are good.
It's a different quality from ordinary peanut bread: real peanuts are baked right in, so it's much nuttier, with a rich, nutty flavor.
Roasted peanuts and the story of Udo peanuts
They also sell roasted peanuts: ₩5,000 for 500g and ₩10,000 for 1kg. The peanuts used here are said to be grown abroad from Udo peanut seeds. Udo peanuts are known for their nutty taste, and the flavor really is different.

How does the peanut bread taste?
The biggest appeal of the peanut bread is, of course, its nutty flavor. The distinctive roasted aroma of peanuts goes well with the mild taste of the bread, and with a little sweetness added it becomes a snack everyone, young or old, can enjoy.
Bread with peanuts is especially appealing if you love nutty flavors. Rather than anything overly complicated, it's defined by the soft texture of the bread blending with the rich peanut flavor.

If you buy ₩10,000 worth, 80 peanut breads, they pack them in a box, so it would be nice to take home and share with family as a snack.
Peanut bread is appealing because you can enjoy it with no complicated cooking or special meal prep. It's good for a quick bite while wandering the market, and a good pick whenever you crave something sweet and nutty.
45 peanut breads and egg bread to go, leftovers in the air fryer
I took away 45 peanut breads and some egg bread from Daesin. I just couldn't walk past a nutty snack like that. I got the crispy, nutty peanut bread and ate a few on the spot, but there was still a lot left, so I reheated the rest in my air fryer. Even after some time, the nutty flavor hadn't changed.
