1 hour & 45 mins
Dive into Saigon’s first-ever craft fish sauce tasting—a bold, flavor-packed experience you won’t find anywhere else, exclusively at Saigon Social in the heart of District 1.
Forget everything you think you know about nuoc mam. Guided by a fun, food-obsessed local host, you’ll explore four small-batch fish sauces from Chu Ben, a premium Vietnamese producer known for wild-caught anchovies and slow, traditional fermentation. Think of it like a soy sauce or whiskey tasting—but way funkier and full of umami magic.
Each fish sauce is paired with a surprising dish—from crisp herb salads to juicy seared beef—designed to show off its unique flavor, aroma, and depth. This is not your average spring roll dip—it’s a deep dive into Vietnam’s culinary soul, and a total game-changer for food lovers.
What’s included?
🐟 English-speaking guide who will take you deep into the world of Vietnamese nuoc mam—often compared to Japanese soy sauce for its cultural weight and culinary depth. Learn about its traditional craftsmanship, aging process, and why true fish sauce deserves the same respect as fine wine or artisanal shoyu.
🐟 Guided tasting of 4 small-batch craft fish sauces from Chu Ben, a respected artisanal maker using wild-caught anchovies and slow fermentation techniques. Each sauce has its own distinct aroma, saltiness, and flavor—just like the best soy sauces of Japan.
🐟 Creative food pairings that go far beyond the spring roll—from herb-packed salads to seared beef and other unexpected bites designed to showcase each fish sauce’s unique profile.
🐟 A first-of-its-kind tasting experience in Vietnam, exclusively available at Saigon Social—and the only one in Ho Chi Minh City that celebrates fish sauce as a refined, complex ingredient.
