    My grandpa used to make pizzas all the time, he was italian but living in Brazil.
    When we went to Tokyo once my whole family cried after tasting the pizzas of this man. We eat pizza all the time, but this one had something nostalgic. Trust me you feel his dedication much as we used to feel my grandpas experience on doing it.

    I can't believe I'm watching this! My Italian husband and I went there while visiting Japan last year and it was amazing! The ambience is great and we actually ended up visiting a second time (we were in Japan for three weeks and never visited anywhere more than once) since it was so authentic tasting.
    Highly recommend anyone to go there!

      Same thing when you order frutti di mare they dont like to add mozarella but i disagree much more tasty with cheese . Italians have traditions and are not open to break some and think it should be this and that. I know quality and i know my taste buds.

    Making good traditional Neapolitan pizza is complex and requires many little tricks and secrets that have been passed on through generations of Italian pizzaioli... If Kakinuma's pizza tastes as good as it looks, it's really amazing that he achieved such mastery while being completely self-taught.

      IndicaDreaming that's not the point. People on the internet like to be armchair experts in whichever topic the matter is on. The kind of people making those comments don't know what true Italian style pizza is like, it's far different than American style which likes to load up on toppings. I find this type of shallow criticism especially prevalent in food related videos; suddenly everyone's a food expert and professional chef criticising so and so for not making a certain food correctly, or "here in our country we make it this way, so you're clearly doing it wrong".

      Finally a decent comment, my friends and I ran into an amazing spot in Roppongi Tokyo and we still talk about that pizza years later.

    The Japanese have this incredible way of taking something foreign that they may not necessarily understand and adapt it with amazing care and precision.
