The size of each pizza is 7.5-cm in diameter and the base is made of soy sauce-seasoned rice.

Pizza Hut food stylists have used a combination of Gouda cheese and a special sauce, plus they have included new toppings inspired by different countries 


Japan: 

Yakiniku Galbi Short Rib

Teriyaki Chicken (with corn)

Mentaiko (pollock roe) Soy Sauce (with corn).

Europe:

Iberian Ham (Spain)

Shrimp and Lobster Bisque Sauce (France)

The pizzas come with a side of fries and chicken nuggets.

The meal sets are reasonably priced at 1,000 yen for take away and 1,350 yen for delivery, starting Monday.

Wheat prices have increased dramatically so many food manufacturers have turned to rice which is cheaper.
