Bungeoppang itself is actually originated from the Japanese bread called Taiyaki.

 

However, unlike the Japanese bread Taiyaki, shaped like a sea bream, in Korea, which features a softer and sweeter dough, the Korean adaptation, Bungeoppang, has been altered to suit the Korean palate.

 

It boasts a crispier, nuttier batter and a slightly reduced sweetness compared to its Japanese counterpart.

 

Additionally, Bungeoppang tends to be smaller in size and slightly lower in perceived quality compared to Taiyaki, making it more budget-friendly and incredibly popular in South Korea, which is widely spread among the street foods, allowing it to be easily enjoyed by a wide audience.

Bungeoppang, affectionately known as "carp bread," owes its name to its charming fish-like appearance.

 

Imagine a golden, crispy outer shell shaped like a fish, but there is no carp inside.

 

Weird, right? But you got to see what it is hiding inside.

 

Traditionally, Bungeoppang is filled with sweet red bean paste, which adds a delightful taste that's both comforting and slightly sweet.

 

However, creative variations have emerged, offering fillings like custard cream, chocolate, and even cheese cream!

 

But fundamental taste never betrays.

 

Try the red bean taste Bungeoppang, you will sense red-bean heaven out of it.
