Introducing Sai Sai Mala Soup

On October 31, 2023, a new culinary gem opens its doors at the CIAL Yokohama food court, known as "Sai Sai Mala Soup." Operated by Create Restaurants Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo, this restaurant specializes in delicious mala soup, allowing patrons to create their own unique dishes.

A Flavorful Broth

The star of the show at Sai Sai Mala Soup is their carefully crafted medicinal soup base. This rich and flavorful broth combines white pork and chicken bone soup, infused with a selection of aromatic herbs and spices such as Sichuan pepper, cinnamon, cumin, and red dates. The soup is simmered leisurely, resulting in a mesmerizing blend of deep flavors. For those who appreciate a little heat, the mala soup, which is enhanced with chili and doubanjiang, offers a delightful balance of numbing spiciness and gentle herbal undertones. Diners can choose their spice level from a range of 0 to 4, ensuring that it caters to personal preferences.

Additionally, for those who are not fans of spicy foods, there are milder options available including the sesame flavored tantan soup and creamy soy milk soup, both of which promise to delight your taste buds.

Customize Your Bowl

One of the most exciting aspects of Sai Sai Mala Soup is the customization process. A showcase at the restaurant displays an array of over 40 fresh ingredients, including vibrant vegetables, a variety of processed fish products, succulent meats, and healthy mushrooms. Customers can select their favorite items to create their own original mala soup.

Moreover, guests can choose not only the type of medicinal soup - which includes mala, tantan, and soy milk options - but also the level of spiciness and noodle type. Choices include hearty sweet potato vermicelli (available in thin, flat, and wide noodle varieties), smooth rice noodles, slippery green bean vermicelli, and the classic Saru noodles. This allows patrons to tailor their dish according to their daily mood or health needs.

This concept of personalized dining ensures that every visit promises an enjoyable, healthy, and unique meal experience. Whether you're looking for something that packs a punch or a more subdued flavor, Sai Sai Mala Soup aims to satisfy every palate.
