Bugak is a classic Korean snack often featured in the ceremonies during Chuseok season. Although it's well-known among Koreans, it was quite an adventure to put them in SeoulBox. There were two reasons behind it: packaging and deliver-ability.
Its normally packed in bulk or Koreans make it at home. Also, as it's normally fresh-made, there were not many products available in the market that serves fresh yet tightly sealed Bugaks.
After our team's binge-researching and tasting, we found this gem: sticky rice potato Bugak made by Oh Heesook, the master recognized nationwide. Her hand-made Bugaks are in the right packaging size and sealed tight enough to travel across the oceans.
