Lee Sung Dang (이성당)
The grand spectacle of Lee Sung Dang, arguably the reason most people plan a trip to Gunsan, cannot be overstated. Known for operating since 1945, this famed bakery serves up mouth-watering sweet red bean bread, its thin outer layer contrasting beautifully with the generous fill of bean paste. Here, most breads are doughed with rice flour, offering a unique chewy texture. Vegetable Bread, another fan-favorite, bursts with assorted veggies akin to a veggie dumpling. Don’t miss the bustling new wing with breads of modern-style next to the main branch – you’ll find it a real joy of culinary discovery.
