Japanese pizza
It’s remarkably difficult to get a pizza in Japan without mayonnaise or sweetcorn on it. Apart from that, there’s a bewildering array of even more outlandish toppings
- asparagus
- bamboo shoots
- boiled eggs
- broccoli
- camembert
- cod roe (fish eggs)
- dried fish flakes
- eel
- egg yolk
- kimuchi (spicy Korean pickled leaf)
- nori (seaweed)
- octopus
- pickled ginger
- potatoes
- shiso (perilla leaves)
- shrimp
- spaghetti
- squash
- squid
- teriyaki chicken
- tuna
- zucchini
