Seoul's oldest bakery, opened the year after liberation and named for the national taegeuk.
Founded in 1946 in Myeongdong and later moved to its current spot, its founder chose the taegeuk — Korea's national symbol — for the name and logo to mark the joy of liberation. Its monaka ice-cream sandwich and castella are still the signatures.
