Into the book
A few days ago, three strangers appeared in this village of Shindan.
One of them is a girl named Dong, who was left in the care of her grandmother because her parents were going on a business trip abroad.
And the other two are an old man who moved in to open a bakery for the upcoming National Foundation Day, and a little boy.
What did you call it? Oh! Right.
It was Chef Ho and Ram.

--- p.12, from “Chapter 1_New People”

“Whitey, there’s no use going to school.
Today is National Foundation Day, so schools are closed.
“Where is the place open on a day like this… … .”
Dong-i paused for a moment.
Suddenly, Chef Ho's words came to mind.


Our bakery's opening day is the same day as National Foundation Day.

… … Come then! Please come.

I'll give you free bread.

--- p.24~25, from “Chapter 2_The Strange and Mysterious Village of Shindan”

“Who are you blocking on this busy Saturday? You weasel!”
“Hey, weasel? Are you done talking?”
“I’m done, what am I going to do?”
“Hey, what are you going to do about that body odor!”
“Smell~? I’m the owner of the bathhouse in Shindan Village!”
--- p.44, from “Chapter 3_I’m angry, I’m angry!”

“Wait, wait a minute.
Chef Ho.
“Wake up!”
The staff frowned at Dong-i's sudden appearance.
And he walked towards Dong-i with brisk strides.

The moment Dong-i turned her head towards the staff, her eyes widened in surprise.

--- p.83, from “Chapter 4_Apple Tree Oriental Medicine Clinic”

"hmm.
Let me tell you.
Long ago, there was a rich couple who desperately wanted a daughter.
The couple had three sons, so they prayed to the mountain spirit every night to give them a daughter as beautiful as the full moon.”
Soon, Dong-i listened intently to the old story that Chef Ho was telling.

--- p.93, from “Chapter 5_Who is better?”

Dong-i went to the Whitey and Tiger Bakery.

Tinkle tinkle.
As she opened the door and went in, a sweet smell seeped into Dong-i's nose.
“Dong-i has come.
The Dangun cake has finally been completed.
The beard was decorated with a chocolate piping bag, and the rosy cheeks were expressed with strawberry whipped cream! What do you think?
--- p.108, from “Chapter 5_Who is better?”

Publisher's Review
Want to learn about history in a delicious way?
Come visit the Tiger Bakery!

The village of Shindan, the setting of the story, is a quiet and peaceful village where real people and animals disguised as people have lived together for many years.
This village, protected by a 5,000-year-old Shindansu tree, is famous for its mugwort and garlic.
The new tree, mugwort, and garlic are used as important materials for the events that will unfold in the future, enriching the story.
Meanwhile, by introducing various shops, including the Tiger Bakery, through the perspective of Dong-i, a human, it helps readers easily accept various information about Shindan Village.


The real story begins when Chef Ho and his assistant Rami open the 'Tiger Bakery' in Shindan Village.
The concept of Tiger Bakery is to teach guests about Korea's history in a delicious way! Chef Ho bakes Seokgatap bread, imbued with the legend of Asadal and Asanyeo, and presents a cake commemorating Dangun Wanggeom, the founder of Gojoseon, Korea's first kingdom, captivating readers' eyes and palates.
Especially these days, when many people only know National Foundation Day as a public holiday, they are so serious about making history known that they even set the opening day as National Foundation Day.


As the book progresses, a series of events occur that make Shindan Village noisy and chaotic.
Chef Ho joins forces with Ram, Dong, and Whitey to track down and solve the case.
By introducing villains from oral legends, the tension is heightened, and the process of uncovering them creates a sense of solidarity.

Author Seo Ji-won, who wrote this book, says she plans to continue preparing very special history bread for friends who dislike history because it is difficult, boring, and requires a lot of memorization.
Let's go to Tiger Bakery to experience a sweet and bitter history.

A tiger afraid of dried persimmons,
The tiger that ran away because it hated mugwort and garlic,
There are many tigers in the world,
There's a special tiger here?!


Since ancient times, tigers have been considered animals with a deep connection to our people.
They are not only depicted as scary and ferocious beings, but also as divine beings that ward off evil spirits with their brave powers in old tales and paintings, as well as as clumsy and somewhat eccentric beings.

So, what would the tigers depicted in folk tales or the Dangun myth look like if they reappeared today?

This book features a tiger that fits perfectly with today's times when people want to focus more on what they love.
The main character, Chef Ho, is a tiger who learned baking skills in pursuit of the world's sweetness, and he shows a charm different from any tiger we've seen before.
As the first baker in Shindan Village, you can look forward to Chef Ho's performance as a problem solver for Shindan Village in crisis.
The chemistry between Ram-i, Chef Ho's assistant, and Dong-i, the bakery's only customer, is also a point worth watching.
Indeed, let's follow along to see what happens in Shindan Village.
