Cheese Harmony pizza

Pizza Hut Japan’s latest creation, the Cheese Harmony pizza:

It’s got pieces of Camembert cheese thrown on top of normal cheese. There is also some fried cheese on the pizza. The crust is stuffed with a mixture of Parmesan, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese.

Does this pizza look tasty?

I would prefer there be more harmony between the cheese and the other ingredients. It sounds like a bread bowl filled with cheese fondue.

The Overthinker

Ain’t nowt wrong with that….

PewPew

More Whiteman food that the Japanese can’t really digest. There’ll be more and more people getting ill in Japan thanks to foods like this.

Karisu

Wait. What?

I find it hard to believe, but is there any actual truth to a Japanese persons digestive track being that different to someone of European decent?

That just sounds ridiculous to me.

I’ve heard that before. I’ve heard a few Japanese people say they cannot eat cheese. Maybe they are more susceptible to lactose intolerance? Would be interesting to see if there is any science behind it. Seems kind of hard to believe since I see yogurt is a popular drink here.

Mark

I read in a magazine that westerners shouldn’t have too much soy souce because our digestive track cannot process some component of soy sauce. Tried a quick search in google but I couldn’t find any article about it so who knows if it’s true.
Weirdo

A higher percentage of asians suffer from lactose intolerance, yes.
The Overthinker

Lactose intolerance, yes. Lactose intolerance is common among groups that do not have a milk-drinking tradition past infancy (Japanese babies are obviously not intolerant). Cheese had an uphill struggle getting accepted in Japan, but as you can see, it (in the more generic varieties at least) is as common as anything.

Longer/shorter intestines belong with Nihonjinron until I see peer-reviewed research on the matter….

I don’t know any place in America, white or otherwise, that serves a pizza like that. Ick. They’re only selling it in Japan because the Japanese are willing to buy it.

LB

Yeah, I mean, you’d never see pizza like that in Iowa…

“Thai peanut sauce, chicken, red onion, fresh red peppers, juliene carrots and monterey jack, topped with seasame seeds.”

Or Boston, where you can get Fontina and Butternut Squash Pizza with carmelized onions at Harvard Gardens.

They’re only selling it in the US because Americans are willing to buy it, you know.

The picture makes the pizza look appetizing, but the video made it appear less so. In the video, it looks like the impossible was achieved by putting on too much cheese.

As much as I love Pizza Hut and their Pizzas, this looks like just too much, besides I’m not a camembert fan.

I ate this pizza last night. It was totally awesome but then I am a cheese addict.

Does this pizza look tasty?

It looks like it would give you a heart attack, so I’m going to go with “yes”.

Oh hey, I was just thinking how I would like to never have a bowel movement again. This should do the trick.

I would only take the seafood out of it – I’m not that much into shrimps.

InJM

Shrimps aren’t terrible. I wouldn’t want one on my pizza though. This pizza doesn’t look horrible but a plain old pepperoni pizza and a little hot sauce is more to my taste.

No sugar, fat and salt

more Japanese becoming like america’s obesity problem…SUGAR< FAT AND SALT AND LESS CHEWING THE EPIDEMIC IS HERE….

pixel_bomber

Speaking as an American and pizza aficionado I can honestly say that looks disgusting. I wouldn’t eat it on a dare.

Carlos

I had something similar to this monstrosity before and I have to say in all honesty, just trying to digest all that cheese, something that heart-clogging will take about a month or two. Besides, who puts Broccoli on pizza??!! Gross!!

Ajapa

Seriously, it is sometimes said that the combination of red and green (orange and brown) is a basic technique to stimulate appetite. Color is important. Red (tomato) and green (broccoli).

pixel_bomber

Well the average toppings on a pizza in Japan are certainly interesting but rarely to my tastes. I have to say though even in the states I find Pizza Hut barely edible, like I’d never buy one if I had a choice but if I was really really hungry I could eat it.

Personally I really like Sicilian pizza or maybe New York or Neapolitan style. Still looking for a good Sicilian pizza in Japan.

Ajapa

Corn-mayonnaise is the standard! Mushroom, seaweed, butter, and soy sauce combination is also good!
pixel_bomber

Hah, the mayo… that’s the one that gets me. I was so surprised to find mayo on so many dishes when I came to Japan. Maybe it’s ironic that something so non-Japanese as mayo is one of the few things I don’t like about Japanese foods.
You are right though corn and mayo is distinctly Japanese when it comes to pizza. Also seafood on pizza is fairly unique to Japan or Asia. I don’t mind that sometimes since there is a lot of seafood in Italian cuisine anyway.
The Overthinker

And conversely, the pizza order girl thought I was taking the Mickey when I tried to order a curry pizza back home….

However after a visit to Italy my J wife has decided her favourite is Marinara (Napolitan-style). I tend to concur – Japanese pizzas these days are just getting silly.

PewPew

Ajapa,

The TRUE meaning of Red & Green:

http://venetianred.net/2008/12/30/the-color-of-genius-van-goghs-night-cafe/

makes you think twice about Christmas, doesn’t it?

The Overthinker

I can see why he didn’t sell much. That is a distinctly unpleasant painting.
Ajapa

He can’t stop his criminal act of breaking into children’s rooms. I guess, around the winter solstice the power of the sun is weakened so he gets depressed and feels so lonely… a poor Finn, so sad.

Anyway, that’s appetizing. Where can I buy that paintings? Thanks PewPew!

that stuff comig out of the crust looks like dual colored pus…
Tori

soooo… basically, you will never poop again?

it’s no wonder the country’s constipation is out of control
kevin

wtf kind of line was that? he basically said “this pizza has too much allure for people like me” lol

weirdo

No, he said that it’s too 魅力的 like him, not for him.

this is a good pizza, i eated one last night !
Fabio

This pizza is bad to see and probably is not so good. I’m italian and i know that american pizza is much popular all over the world, but is not like the original trademark from Italy.
Sorry to say but you must came in italy for eat the real pizza or go in some pizzeria(pizza restorant) from someone that know how make the italian pizza. This pizza look like the 4 cheese pizza.
Pizza hai 4 formaggi

Emmental
Fontina
Provola
Gorgonzola

I’m japanese,
we think it is not a pizza, it is a cheese with pizza taste.
if we want to eat a pizza, we go Italian restaurant, not pizza hut.

ponta

僭越ながら、この場合、　we　を　I　に変えた方がいいと思います。日本人でもみな同じ意見を持っているわけではないからです。また、we を多用すると、団体主義的である、と批判されることも多いです。
