Getting Pizza Hut in Japan is always a treat: it is delicious, featuring toppings you can’t get anywhere else like broccoli, potato, tuna & mayonnaise, camembert cheese, corn and fish roe (mentaiko), with optional maple syrup crust. Plus, Pizza Hut is usually promoting the latest anime series, which is always fun for an otaku. Last night my family decided to call for a delivery, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that instead of normal everyday pizza, they’d sent moe pizza, thanks to the “There’s No Way My Younger Sister Could Be This Cute” art on the box. Of course, not everything about pizza in Japan is perfect. What passes for a large to the Japanese isn’t all that big to your or me. Also, the pizza industry apparently didn’t get the memo about deflation in the Japanese economy, since two larges set us back a whopping $50.
127 million Japanese think Pizza Hut is “Pizza Hat.”.
