Thus was born <strong>tsukimi<\/strong> (\u201cmoon-viewing\u201d) noodles, and because historical milestones can serve as inspiration for great minds of the future, in time Japanese restaurants began to apply the tsukimi concept to hamburgers, and now we have<strong> tsukimi pizza<\/strong> too.<\/p>\n<p>With autumn being the traditional time for moon-viewing parties in Japan, <strong>Pizza Hut Japan is baking up multiple types of tsukimi pizza<\/strong>.\u00a0But it wouldn\u2019t make sense to simply put an egg on top of a pie and call it tsukimi, since there\u2019s already a name for pizza with egg, Bismarck pizza, which is something you can find at lots of pizzerias and Italian restaurants in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>So instead, Pizza Hut Japan is giving its tsukimi pizzas additional doses of Japanese appeal, starting with the<strong> Sukiyaki Tsukimi Pizza<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-743335\" src=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/08\/2_dc8969.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This pizza is topped with strips of <strong>sukiyaki beef<\/strong>, seasoned with the same sweetly savory sauce used for sukiyaki hot pot. They\u2019re accompanied by a<strong> melty egg sauce<\/strong>, and also <strong>shungiku, edible chrysanthemum leaves<\/strong>, a high-class green that\u2019s also a common sukiyaki ingredient. Together, they give you a mix of meaty, sweet, creamy, and slightly bitter notes, for a complex but satisfying and hearty pizza.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-743339\" src=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/08\/6_fee989.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"723\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Arriving alongside the Sukiyaki Tsukimi Pizza is the<strong> Terimayo Tsukimi Pizza<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-743336\" src=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/08\/3_2201ae.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"336\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That abbreviation is for <strong>\u201cteriyaki mayonnaise,\u201d<\/strong> as both are viable flavor choices in Japan\u2019s casual pizza sphere.
