Experience a Unique Culinary Delight at Laolee Nakameguro

This winter, Laolee Nakameguro is unveiling a special dish that you won't want to miss: the Sauerkraut Pork Hotpot. Priced at ¥1,980, this hot pot features a perfect balance of tanginess and richness, embodying the essence of Taiwanese winter cuisine.

What Makes Sauerkraut Pork Hotpot Special?

The star of this dish is the sauerkraut, a staple in Taiwanese winter cuisine, made by meticulously fermenting napa cabbage. When combined with juicy pork belly, the result is a symphony of flavors. The refreshing acidity of the sauerkraut meets the rich sweetness of the pork fat, creating a brothy delight that is both satisfying and revitalizing.

Accompanying the succulent pork are generous portions of vegetables, tofu, and selected mushrooms. Additionally, the dish includes Taiwanese fish balls, squid balls, and other seafood treats, allowing diners to indulge in a truly unique flavor that marries the culinary traditions of Taiwan and Nagasaki. Every drop of the broth is a tribute to this cultural fusion.
