Pizza Hut Japan creates moon-viewing sukiyaki chrysanthemum pizza for tsukimi season
Full moon inspires pizzas with a whole lot to love. It was a great day in the history of Japanese food culture when someone cracked an egg into a bowl of noodles and said “Hey, that looks like a full moon!” as it cooked in the heat of the broth. Thus was born tsukimi (“moon-viewing”) […]
Japanese food culture has long celebrated the full moon with tsukimi, or moon-viewing, noodles. Inspired by this tradition, Pizza Hut Japan has introduced tsukimi pizzas. Rather than simply placing an egg on a pie, they've added a Japanese twist. The Sukiyaki Tsukimi Pizza is topped with sukiyaki beef, a sweet and savory sauce, and edible chrysanthemum leaves, creating a complex flavor profile.
The Terimayo Tsukimi Pizza substitutes the chrysanthemum leaves for teriyaki chicken, offering a different taste experience. For those looking to sample multiple tsukimi flavors, Pizza Hut Japan offers the Sukiyaki Tsukimi no Gochiso 4, a pizza divided into quarters of four different tsukimi-inspired toppings. Alternatively, the Sukiyaki Tsukimi Variety 4 provides a mix of Sukiyaki Tsukimi, Terimayo Tsukimi, Margherita, and Deluxe Pizza.
These innovative pizzas are available throughout November, allowing food enthusiasts to enjoy a unique combination of Japanese and pizza culture.
