"Trattoria Pizzeria Bar KaBrio", where an Italian chef works as a pizzaiolo (= pizza craftsman), opens in Kabukicho, Shinjuku on August 11th at 11:30 am. Here, you can taste the dish "Pinsa", which is a hot topic in Rome, Italy.

This is "Pinsa"!

● Is Pinsa a “healthy pizza”?

Pinsa is a menu called the "origin" of pizza that originated in ancient Rome. The dough, which is a blend of soybean flour, rice flour, and wheat flour, is stretched into an oval shape and topped with ingredients like pizza, and then baked.

"It's easier to eat than pizza," he said, and it's rapidly gaining popularity in Italy, especially among healthy-minded women. It seems that there are so many specialty stores in Rome that reservations cannot be made. It seems that the boom is gradually coming to the United States, so it may be popular in Japan as well ...?

● Pizza & Pinsa of the whole chef from Italy

The cabrio offers pizzas and pinsa baked by a chef who worked as a pizzaiolo in Italy. The stone oven, which sits proudly in the open kitchen, is said to have been "custom-made" in Italy.

From the counter seats, you can see up close the process of the chef stretching the dough, putting ham and cheese on it, putting it in a stone oven and baking it.

The freshly baked Pinsa dough has a soft and fluffy mouthfeel. It is chewy when chewed, and although it is fragrant, it has a simple taste that never interferes with the ingredients. Because it is simple, the deliciousness of the toppings is alive and you will never get tired of eating it.

Of course, the menu includes authentic Italian food in addition to Pinsa. In addition to a wide variety of pizzas and pasta, we also offer grilled (charcoal-grilled) dishes using branded pork, lamb, and beef.

● Use properly according to the scene

The store is divided into three areas: a "terrace" near the entrance, a "trattoria" in the center of the hall, and a "lounge" where you can relax with a sofa. The atmosphere is different so that each can be used properly according to the scene.

Not only for lunch and dinner, but also for meetings, after-party use, and business scene meetings.

The store is located on the 1st floor of the Daiichi Metro Building, 1-23-14 Kabukicho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo. Business hours are Monday to Thursday, Sunday and public holidays from 11:30 to 24:00, and Friday, Saturday and the day before public holidays from 11:30 to 4:00 the next day.

By the way, the address is Kabukicho, but it's located in a very shallow part of Kabukicho (still near the entrance), so even the author of a single woman was able to reach the store without any annoyance! I will add the extra information.
