你想尝尝这款棉花糖披萨吗?

If you love travel and tasty food, then Tokyo could be a good choice now. A restaurant in Japan is offering pizza with cotton candy(棉花糖). The pizza is special with cotton candy on the top and then put some honey sauce to it to make it more delicious. Sounds “wonderful”!

Schmatz Beer Dining, a German-themed restaurant in Tokyo, Japan, is changing pizza as we know it. Instead of classic ingredients like prosciutto, peppers or tomato sauce, it uses cotton candy as the main ingredient for one of its pies. And if you’re thinking that this is probably just a pizza-shaped dessert, you’re wrong again. The special dish is made up of a thin pizza dough pie, cheese and cotton candy. The tomato sauce is replaced by a special honey-based ginger sauce that is poured over the cotton candy, melting the cotton candy and allowing the sugar to really get into the pizza.

Cotton candy pizza recently made news headlines in Japan after Schmatz advertised it as a way of celebrating cherry blossom season. They added pink coloring and cherry blossom flavoring to both the cotton candy and the ginger sauce. This special pizza was only an item on the menu for a short time, and could only be ordered until April 2nd.

I can almost see conservative pizza fans breathing a sigh of relief at the news that this try is only a promotional trick, but it’s actually not. While the special cherry blossom cotton candy pizza is just a one-off thing, plain cotton candy pizza is here to stay. In fact, Schmatz has been serving the unusual dish for a long time, so it must be pretty popular. And many people all over the world came to have a try, including people in Italy and China.

So if you ever find yourself in the Kanda district of Tokyo and are interested in the cheese pizza and cotton candy, stop by Schmatz Beer Dining.
