Hwangnam Bread (황남빵) - Homepage : www.hwangnam.com - Tel : When Hwangnam Bread was created in Hwangnam-dong, Gyeongju, in 1939, people began to refer to it as “the bread from Hwangnam.” Over time, the name stuck. The late Choi Yeong-hwa, the founder of Hwangnam Bread, was a scion of the Gyeongju Choi family who came up with this masterpiece when he was 21 years old after much trial and error. Mr. Choi’s creation is based on the tradition of rice cakes and bread made with sweet red beans, passed down throughout the generations in his family. Even today, 80 years after the creation of the bread, it is only flavored with red beans. Another defining feature of Hwangnam Bread is the delicate comb pattern inspired by the aesthetics of the Silla period. - Address : 783 , Taejong-ro, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do ※ Introduction Information - Main menu : Hwangnam Bread - Inquiries and Guides +82-54-749-7000 - Menu : Hwangnam Bread - Open date : - Open time : 08:00-22:0...
