A Resort Hotel in Okinawa Oriental Hotel Okinawa Resort & Spa 【Oriental Hotel Okinawa Resort & Spa】「 Ultimate Hot Pot Experience: "Oriental Ryukyu Malatang
An Exquisite Harmony of Nutritional Herbs & Seasonal Ingredients from Yambaru 」

From Saturday, July 18, through Wednesday, September 30, 2026, we are delighted to offer our exclusive, limited-time menu: Oriental Ryukyu Malatang. This special offering reimagines the highly popular "customizable Malatang"—a culinary sensation among younger generations—into an elevated hot pot dining experience. Crafted with vibrant, locally sourced spices from Okinawa, this dish brings a unique regional twist to a modern favorite.

After taking the culinary world by storm, Malatang’s popularity has accelerated into a full-blown "Second Boom." At the heart of its massive appeal is the sheer freedom of personalization—allowing diners to hand-pick their favorite ingredients and customize their spice levels.

At Oriental Hotel Okinawa Resort & Spa, we saw an opportunity to elevate this modern phenomenon by infusing it with the art of "Ryukyu Chinese" cuisine. Oriental Ryukyu Malatang preserves the interactive thrill of building your own bowl, but elevates it with premium, locally sourced Okinawan ingredients. This is a brand-new experience that transcends standard hot pot and casual street food.

Supervised by a certified Chinese wellness nutrition expert, our exquisite soup base blends the signature techniques of RYU-KA-HO with Okinawa's finest selection of spices. Served in an upscale hot pot style, it offers a one-of-a-kind flavor profile you won't find anywhere else.

After a sun-drenched day enjoying the ocean and outdoor adventures, the dynamic warmth of Sichuan peppercorns will gently restore your body from the inside out. It is more than a meal—it is a rejuvenating, wellness-driven dining experience, and our signature invitation to the ultimate Okinawan summer.

To elevate your dining experience, our chefs have created two distinct soup bases, each meticulously designed to maximize the wellness benefits of their ingredients:
・The Signature "Mala" Soup: A robust blend of Yambaru chicken broth and rich oxtail. The clean, crisp umami of the chicken pairs flawlessly with the deep, savory complexity of the oxtail, creating a multi-layered finish that beautifully carries the aromatic heat and stimulating warmth of Sichuan peppercorns.
・The Velvet "Paitan" Soup: A milder, comforting alternative. This deeply flavorful white broth is slow-simmered for two full days to completely concentrate the rich essences of chicken bone and dried scallops.

The true secret to these broths lies in our proprietary blend of indigenous Okinawan spices: fiery island chili, aromatic pipachi (island long pepper), and the sweet, herbal notes of gettou (shell ginger). By marrying traditional Chinese Sichuan flavors with the aromatic heritage of Okinawa’s time-honored wellness ingredients (Kusuimun), we have created a brilliant, multi-dimensional taste profile that goes far beyond simple heat.
