NYに日本のピザ店 1時間で1カ月先の予約満杯 NYタイムズ「東京スタイル時代の幕開け」(2026年5月6日)

A popular Japanese pizza restaurant, which has received the Michelin Bib Gourmand award for five consecutive years, has opened a branch in New York. Pizza Studio Tamaki, a popular pizza restaurant with locations in Tokyo's Roppongi district and elsewhere, officially opened its New York branch on the 5th, filling its restaurant to capacity with approximately 200 customers. The restaurant's commitment to quality, including importing its own original blend of flour from Japan, has garnered widespread praise in New York. Customer comments: "I've been to the Tokyo location five times. I'm a huge fan." "When I went back to Japan at the end of the year, I heard they were opening a New York location, and I made a reservation within an hour." "What I learned from going to Japan is that Japanese people strive to make everything the best it can be. That's why Japanese pizza is so delicious." Local media outlets, such as the New York Times, have reported on the opening as "the dawn of the Tokyo-style pizza era in New York," and the restaurant is attracting significant attention, with reservations filling up a month in advance in just one hour. Owner-Chef Tsubasa Tamashiro: "When I first started making pizza, my first goal was New York, so I'm glad I was able to achieve that. My ambition is to open stores on all six continents. Ultimately, I want to aim for around 100 stores, so I'll do my best." [TV Asahi NEWS] https://news.tv-asahi.co.jp
