About this spot
House of Fermentation transforms the Oud-West neighborhood into a living lab where you can taste the future of food through their meticulously crafted sourdoughs and fermented vegetables. Expect to be guided by chef Joris van der Woude as he explains how his unique fermentation techniques create complex, umami-rich flavors that defy traditional Korean expectations. The open kitchen design lets you watch the magic happen while you sip on house-made kombucha or enjoy a bowl of their signature kimchi stew.
