The Azabujuban Shopping district is known to be visited by many foreigners and there is a whole world of international cuisine to be explored by the keen gourmet! Let's take a tour to savor the best local specialties.
Indulge in authentic stone-oven pizza from Italy
The well-established Pizzeria Fantasista Due did not only import the stove oven and their utensils from Italy but also the authentic way to make pizza. The chef even won a contest as Japan's best.
The photo shows the Carbonara Pizza with soft-boiled egg and fresh cream, baked in the exquisite fires of the stone oven - mouthwatering! Starting from a single slice, this deliciously authentic pizza is also available for take-out.

Traditional gelato, now available overseas!
With its head store in Milan in Italy, Gelateria Marghera was particularly famous for not having any branch store. This changed in 2013 when the first store opened overseas - in Azabujuban. The soft, creamy texture paired with the exquisite and rich taste of this traditional ice cream makes for an amazing flavor.
The photo shows two flavors of gelato in the grande cone, next to biscotti.

Authentic pastries by a French chef
French pastries, such as Madeleines and macarons, are arranged neatly next to each other at Patisserie Le Pommier in Azabujuban.
One of the delicious baked goods that the French chef creates are the canelés, like the one shown in the photo. Another delicacy sold in the Azabujuban store is the French bread that has been called "the God of French bread" by Philippe Bigot himself.
