No Seaweed, Extra Chili Peppers
In the battle for the hearts and minds of Japanese midnight noshers, Pizza Hut fights back with the Gorgeous Four, the Melting Camembert and the Super Korean Purokoki! This flyer landed in my mailbox yesterday, promising that with a single phone call, I could be dining on a pie topped with Korean BBQ beef and super skinny hot chili peppers.
I read on to note that Pizza Hut’s “Seafood Mix” one-ups Dominos by adding broccoli (broccoli?) and artistic squeezes of “tuna mayo” to the standard squid-shrimp blend, while their BBQ chicken offering goes a little more native with seaweed on top.
And if I was really feeling like having a sophisticated “foreign food” experience, I could indulge myself with a pie featuring multiple wedges of that oh-so-not-Italian favorite, Camembert cheese. Camembert makes inexplicably frequent appearances on pizza here, along with corn. Go figure.

Read a novel set in Tokyo…

Writing mystery books set in Tokyo is mostly what I do, but I also blog about the odd stuff I see every day in Japan. I'm a graduate of Stanford University and the Sendagaya Japanese Institute in Tokyo, and a member of the International Thriller Writers, the Mystery Writers of America, and Sisters In Crime. When I'm not in Tokyo, I live in San Francisco. I also host a travel site called The Tokyo Guide I Wish I'd Had, so if you're headed to Japan and want to check out the places I take my friends when they're in town, take a look!
