Have you ever taken a stroll through the lively streets of Seoul on a winter's day, caught up in the warm and smell of freshly roasted and sweet chestnuts?

 

Well, welcome to the world of winter snack and we will introduce you about "군밤" - or as we'd simply say, roasted chestnuts!

 

 

 

 

 

What is 군밤?

 

 

In Korea, 군밤, pronounced "goon-bahm," might sound like a mysterious term.

 

Is it about military night?

 

Does it mean about something about night?

 

Well, it's just the local way of saying "roasted chestnuts."

 

Loved by locals and visitors alike, it's that go-to winter snack for its comforting warmth and rich nutty and sweet taste.

While it's a Korean classic, the love for roasted chestnuts knows no borders.

 

Picture this: in France, they call it "marron chaud" during winter.

 

Turkey has its own version named 'kestane kebap,' and you can practically hear the street vendors shouting their chestnut delights.

 

Even in Italy and the UK, roasted chestnuts have found a cozy spot in the hearts of locals.

Think of 군밤 like a winter sibling to the popular Korean street food, '군고구마' (roasted sweet potatoes:Will be written in the future!).

 

Though it might not stand out as much in today's diverse street food scene, there's something timeless about its traditional charm and that delicious flavor.

 

If you want to buy it in other season, there is also pack of roasted chestnut you can easily find from convenience store or market.

 

Those also taste very sweet and honeyed.
