The savory flavor of bread freshly baked in the oven makes you feel enchanted no matter when you smell it.

They are with us as a snack that will soothe a hungry stomach for someone else and a hearty meal that will satisfy their hunger. From amberjack, which makes use of the chewy texture of squid ink, to butterfly pie with a subtle sweetness of condensed milk, and healthy bread with a healthy flavor made from naturally fermented varieties! Here are 5 of the best local bakeries made by famous masters who will continue to be sweet for 100 years.

'Lee Heung-yong Confectionery Munhyeon Main Store' is run by CEO Lee Heung-yong, who was selected as the first confectionery and bakery master in Busan. Warm bread is baked every day by carefully selecting everything from a pinch of salt to a handful of flour. The signature menu is “black rubber shoes,†which are filled with red bean paste and milk butter directly between ciabatta bread made with a black color using squid ink.
Red bean paste, which has just the right amount of sweetness without being burdensome, blends pleasantly with butter that melts in a pleasant way. “Mentaiko baguette,†which is a patented bread that stands out for its crunchy texture and salty flavor, is also a popular menu item. The special sauce, made by adding olive oil, garlic, and basil to the colorless, low-salt, and non-fishy mentaiko, perfectly captures the fishy flavor and makes the most of its unique umami.

The butter also has a really rich milk flavor, and if you eat it with Americano, one is crisp. hehe

“Briamont Bakery†is a place where CEO Shin Heung-joong, who has walked only one path of confectionery and bakery for over half a century, makes bread. Recently, the lifestyle cooperative bakery “Neighborhood Panneh Campanho†was renovated and opened as “Briamont,†so you can enjoy bread and drinks inside the store. The signature menu is “condensed milk pie,†which has condensed milk on top of a pie with a subtle buttery flavor that stimulates the taste buds.
The sweetness of condensed milk seeps into the pie, which is crunchy along the texture, further enhancing the flavor. I also like the “Butterzel,†which is a long Laugen pretzel split in half, coated with condensed milk, and filled with thick sliced gourmet butter. The combination of salty pretzels and sweet fillings makes for an addictive sweet and salty flavor.

The red bean paste bread, which is full of red bean paste, is also delicious, and the texture of the red bean grains alive one by one is just my style.
