Pizza Man is supervised by Mr. Naonori Yamamoto, the owner chef of the popular Italian restaurant "Pizzeria e Trattoria da Ether" in Meguro. Basil is added to three types of tomato ingredients, and two types of cheese are combined to create the image of "Margherita pizza."

There are two types of bean paste, "Sesame bean paste" sold only in the Kanto and Niigata areas, and "Tsubuan man" sold in other areas.

For sesame seeds, combine black sesame and white sesame paste to create a finish that brings out the scent and umami of sesame. On the other hand, Tsubu-an-man is said to be finished in a way that you can enjoy the texture of azuki beans that are "thoroughly selected".
