Pizza Hut Shocks with Its New "Kotteri-style Ramen Pizza" in Collaboration with Tenkaippin

TOKYO, Jan 24 (News On Japan) - Pizza Hut released the "Tenkaippin Collaboration Kotteri-Style Ramen Pizza" this past Monday (priced at 1,980 yen) for a limited time in collaboration with Tenkaippin, a famous ramen chain in Japan.

The idea of ramen on a pizza is surprising enough, but what's most intriguing about this collaboration with Tenkaippin is how well they've managed to replicate that signature "kotteri" richness. The Sirabee editorial team decided to place an order right away.

More Ramen-Like Than Imagined

The pizza is topped with typical ramen ingredients like noodles, chashu pork, chopped green onions, along with mozzarella and gouda cheese. Upon opening the box, we were struck by the unexpectedly authentic "ramen-like" appearance.

There was a generous amount of noodles, and the commitment to delivering the deliciousness of ramen in pizza form was evident. A Delightfully Peculiar Taste

The "Tenkaippin Collaboration Kotteri-Style Ramen Pizza" is a product of meticulous attention to detail. Available only until February 12th, it's a must-try for Tenkaippin fans.
