[Latest 2026] 11 Amazing Vietnamese Souvenir Seasonings You Can Buy at WinMart | God-Tier Items That Will Dramatically Improve Your Home Cooking

Xin Chao! I'm Meg from ít ít Việt Nam.

When you're looking for souvenirs during your trip to Vietnam, do you ever find yourself wondering, "What would make a good gift?" or "What should I buy for myself?"

In that case, I highly recommend Vietnam's "super versatile seasonings"!

In fact, Vietnamese seasonings are a treasure trove of "god-tier" items, costing only tens to hundreds of yen per item (very affordable), yet with just a small addition to your everyday Japanese home cooking, they can instantly transform it into an authentic Asian dish. Many of them are light and easy to carry, making them very popular as gifts for friends who love to cook, or even as small giveaways.

This time, I'll introduce 11 highly recommended seasonings, praised by residents, that you can find at the supermarket "WinMart," which is easily accessible to tourists and boasts an excellent selection, categorized by type!

🛒 Where's the best place to buy them? Two "WinMart" stores with excellent selections

If you want to buy Vietnamese seasonings all at once, the major supermarket chain "WinMart" is overwhelmingly recommended. Especially for tourists, the following two stores offer the best selection and accessibility!

  • WinMart in the basement of Vincom Center
    Located in District 1, the heart of the tourist area, this is the most convenient store for a quick stop after visiting Takashimaya or exploring the city.
  • WinMart in the basement of Landmark 81
    This is a super large store located in the basement of Landmark 81, Vietnam's tallest skyscraper. The spacious floor and impressive selection of seasonings make it perfect for those who want to enjoy a leisurely shopping experience!

 1. [Essential All-Purpose Set] Must-Buy! Classic Seasonings That Can't Go Wrong

1. Vifon Soup Powder (Bột Canh)

The packaging of VIFON (Vifon) Soup Powder (Bột Canh), a versatile Vietnamese seasoning, and umami-rich salt, pepper, and broth powder served in a small blue dish.

This all-purpose soup powder is found in almost every Vietnamese household. It's a perfect blend of salt, pepper, chili, garlic, and umami. With just this and some leafy greens, you can instantly create the kind of soup served in local Vietnamese restaurants!
When used to season fried rice or stir-fries, this magical seasoning alone gives your dish a perfect flavor!

  • Recommendation Level: ★★★★★
  • Approximate Price: About 10,000 VND (approx. 60 yen) / 200g
  • Portability: ★★★★★ (Light and comes in an unbreakable bag)
  • Spiciness/Uniqueness Level: Spiciness 0 / No unique taste (universally appealing umami broth)
  • Recommended Uses: Stir-fries, soup base, delicious sprinkled on french fries
  • Recommended Recipients: Friends who love to cook

2. CHIN-SU Chili Sauce (Original / For Chicken / For Seafood)

Three types of CHIN-SU chili sauce, popular as a Vietnamese souvenir (classic red chili, red chili pepper, and green seafood chili), and three delicious-looking sauces served in a small Son Be ceramic dish.

When it comes to chili sauce in Vietnam, it has to be "CHIN-SU"! Unlike Japanese chili sauce, it's not overly spicy, characterized by a fruity sweetness and richness. In addition to the classic red bottle, there are also various limited flavors such as "for chicken" which pairs well with fried or steamed chicken, and "for seafood" which offers a refreshing kick.

When you order french fries in Vietnam, this will definitely be served. It's also surprisingly delicious on flour-based dishes like takoyaki 🐙.
The normal type can be bought at Gyomu Super, so I recommend buying the unique variations.

  • Recommendation Level: ★★★★★
  • Approximate Price: About 15,000-25,000 VND (approx. 90-150 yen) / 250g
  • Portability: ★★★★☆ (Light and sturdy plastic bottle)
  • Spiciness/Uniqueness Level: Spiciness ★★★★☆ (quite spicy) / Uniqueness: strong garlic flavor
  • Recommended Uses: Fried foods (fried chicken, fries), pizza, omurice, takoyaki
  • Recommended Recipients: For yourself or as an easy gift for friends

3. Lime Salt & Pepper (Muối Tiêu Chanh)

Vietnamese souvenir

This all-purpose Vietnamese salt has a refreshing dried lime flavor in addition to salt and pepper. Locally, it's eaten with boiled seafood or as a topping for pho. When used as a dipping salt for Japanese fried chicken, yakiniku, or tempura, it cuts through the oiliness and makes it deliciously refreshing!
