This charming village is renowned for its traditional soy sauce making, offering visitors a glimpse into techniques passed down through generations.

Despite the rapid development and the emergence of new dishes, Ban Yen Nhan soy sauce remains an indispensable condiment on the dining table of many households in rural Northern Vietnam. The ingredients for making Ban soy sauce include three main components: rice, salt, and soybeans. Although these ingredients are simple and easy to find, the cooking process is meticulous.
