In particular, these were used to identify secret imperial inspectors who were dispatched to rural areas and secretly carried out inspection duties. You can also taste Secret Royal Inspector Bread made with Omija marmalade from Mungyeong. Word of mouth spreading at Mungyeongsaejae Pass makes it highly recommended to visit early, as it is likely to be sold out early.
