Calling all gaijin! This is a pizza emergency!
I am thoroughly fed up (certainly no pun intended) with the pizza in this country. If it’s not the sub par cheese, it’s the bizarre toppings. If it’s not the bizarre toppings, it’s the soupy sauce.

Cana is owned and run by one of my students Yuriko, who has a taste for fashion and an even finer palette for exotic cocktails. Her husband is a fantastic chef, and together they have created a great little place to eat excellent food, drink anything from cocktails to international beers, smoke Cuban cigars and listen to excellent music from 7pm-5am the next morning!
The menu ranges from Thai Green Curry, Lamb Beans Curry and Rocket Salmon Pizza, to Spicy Vegetable Coconut Prawns, Raw Prawn Spring Rolls and juicy tender Steak. All priced around the 800Yen mark, the value for mone... Read More
