Omisa Honey Bread (Kkulppang) from Tongyeong: Delivered in 3 Days
I sometimes watch EBS's Extreme Jobs, and in the episode "National Snack! Everything About Bread," I saw how Tongyeong honey bread is made. I enjoyed watching it and found myself wanting to try some, and I was able to find information related to the broadcast on the EBS Extreme Jobs website.
I looked through a few blog promotional posts that list businesses after the broadcast. Some of the information is accurate, but many leave links to an online shopping platform or even to an entirely different business. The website posts information about the businesses featured on the broadcast on its board, so you should avoid being harmed by inaccurate or false information.
Placing the Order
The Tongyeong honey bread shop featured in the Extreme Jobs episode was Omisa Honey Bread. I ordered 3 packs of honey bread from the official website below and received them in 3 days. Shipping was KRW 3,000, but the packing was thorough: a styrofoam box with 2 ice packs, and one of the ice packs hadn't even melted. The website address for Tongyeong's Omisa Honey Bread is below.

The Packaging
The package includes storage instructions, precautions, and even spare plastic bags. I planned to give 1 pack to each of a few acquaintances, and the packaging suits that well. A shop that has sold for a long time really is different. Honestly, I worried about whether an order from Tongyeong to Seoul would arrive in good shape, but 3 packs arrived safe, carefully packed, and fresh in just 3 days, and I'm satisfied.
The Honey Bread
When I split an Omisa honey bread in half, I could see it was packed with red bean paste. Under the chewy syrup coating, the bread's texture was a bit firm, which I think might be because it arrived cold.
Each pack contains 10 honey breads and costs KRW 10,000 per pack. The flavor suits adults more than children. It's worth ordering by delivery once at this taste and price, and I really like the packaging.
