Hi,
Has anyone seen good sliced wholewheat or rye bread?
I'm looking for stuff 65% or over, with delivery or not.
Thanks,
NK.

Costco's pretty well stocked, and High Street Market definitely has some stuff as well. Meili and Tartine might as well, though I can't speak to specific percentages at any of these places.

My local E-Mart and Tous les Jours bakery has whole wheat. I've only seen Rye at Costco though. If you need delivery there's ezshopkorea.com

Yeah, Costco has whole wheat and rye both. Sold in a full size loaf, just like home. Haven't seen a loaf of whole wheat bread anywhere else, myself.

I bought a bread-maker for cheap off of someone who was leaving. I buy things like Rye Flour and Whole Wheat Flour from the Nice Market and make my own bread. Cheap and delicious. I wonder if I should start a side business?!

I think the bread at High Street is excellent: wholesome, nutty, flavorful. I've purchased rye bread there which I've paired with Suji's pastrami and muenster or provolone for a fine sandwich.

try a few doors down from High Street: There is a bakery called Maybell. Better and cheaper, by a little. Owner is great, some English spoken, everything labeled well. Go early, he sells out daily.

Thanks, I will ask if highstreet or maybell do delivery.
The costco stuff is out of stock for online ordering very often.
Managing fine without any, but the kids like it for a quick snack.
Thanks again,
NK

Paris Croissant do 3 or so nice rye/wholewheat breads.
One is even a small German style rye bread called "Berlin".
Happy customer here.

Olio Italian Bakery in Upper Kyungneedan is awesome!! They speak pretty good English as well.

I second buying a bread maker especially if you eat alot of bread. I've had one for 10 years and we have a different bread almost every week. Rye and whole wheat flour can be bought on Gmarket. I use Bob's Red Mill brand and always have good results.
