Introduction
On March 23, Nainai Mala Soup will open its doors at Yokohama World Porters, marking its third location after CIAL Yokohama and Aeon Mall Nagoya Dome Front. This new restaurant, part of Create Restaurants Holdings, promises to bring the popular mala soup experience to diners in a laid-back food court setting.
Nainai's Unique Broth
What sets Nainai Mala Soup apart is its meticulously crafted medicinal broth. This rich base combines pork bone and chicken bone broth, infused with traditional Chinese ingredients such as Sichuan peppercorns, cinnamon, cumin, and red dates. The result is a flavorful and aromatic soup that has been simmered meticulously to extract the best from these ingredients.
This unique broth is available in five spice levels, ranging from 0 to 4, allowing diners to adjust the heat according to their preferences. For those who enjoy a little heat, higher spice levels incorporate chili peppers and doubanjiang, creating a tantalizing balance between numbing spiciness and comforting umami. For guests seeking a milder option, the restaurant also offers tantan soup and soybean milk soup.
Choose Your Ingredients
The showcase at Nainai features an array of over 40 fresh ingredients, including vibrant vegetables, various types of processed foods, meats, and healthy mushrooms. Customers can freely select their preferred ingredients to craft their own unique mala soup creation.
In addition to choosing the broth type (medicinal, tantan, or soybean milk) and spice level (from 0 to 3), diners can also pick from different types of noodles. Options include sweet potato vermicelli, thin or flat noodles, smooth rice noodles, green bean vermicelli, and the classic Saru noodles. This flexibility allows customers to tune their dish according to their day’s well-being and preferences.
Health and Enjoyment
Nainai’s approach promotes a fun and healthy dining experience, encouraging customers to discover their own personal mala soup that they can enjoy daily without growing tired of it. The combination of flavorful ingredients and customizable options ensures that each customer’s journey in crafting their unique mala soup will be both delicious and satisfying.
