About the Shop

Hello there!

The heater barely works,
so I can’t tell if I’m indoors or outdoors —
this is Binako, your Sarukuma writer!

Today I’m introducing a hidden gem
located in Kurokami, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto City:
“Pizza Yoshi”.

The first thing that catches your eye outside is
Authentic Pizza ¥500 — yes, you read that right!
I totally get the temptation.

There’s space for about one car in front of the shop.

Step inside and the first thing you’ll notice is
Canelé ¥150
(frozen) 2-pack ¥300Look to the right and you’ll spot
Pie Cream Puff ¥150

Right next to the register:
Muffin ¥100

Wait… this is a pizza shop, right?

Yep!
It really is a pizzeria — but they also sell delicious sweets.
Perfect for grabbing dessert on the side!

The party-size pizza is a massive 43 cm across,
yet it costs only ¥2,500 per pizza.
Ideal for group gatherings or pizza parties with friends!

Frozen pizzas are also available.
You can bake them fresh at home or your accommodation —
a perfect option for travelers visiting from afar.

Pizza Yoshi also offers delivery, so you can order through
“Ouchi Gohan” and have piping hot pizza brought right to your door.

Recommended Menu

Here’s the full menu.
It’s seriously massive! lol

Tomato-based pizzas: ¥550–¥650
Cheese-based pizzas: ¥550–¥600
Egg-based pizzas: ¥600 each
Corn-based pizzas: ¥550–¥600
Other varieties: ¥600 each

Isn’t that ridiculously cheap?!
Who even sells pizza for under ¥650 these days?
My jaw is still on the floor at these prices.

This time, I went for the king of all pizzas:
Margherita ¥550!!

I resisted the urge to dig in inside the car
and waited until I got home, and then —
OPEN!!A waterfall of “this looks AMAZING” is flowing right out of the box~~

It comes pre-sliced, so there’s no need to cut it —
just open the box and start eating!

Seriously, the deliciousness is intense!

This authentic-tasting pizza for ¥550 is an absolute must-buy.
The rich cheese and tomato sauce are an unbeatable combo,
and the dough is so chewy you literally can’t stop eating it.

Even the crust is perfectly browned and full of flavor.
That chewy texture keeps you happy right down to the last bite.

Let me say it again.
This level of deliciousness for ¥550?!
The ultimate value-for-money champion.

Everyone really should give Pizza Yoshi a try —
so be sure to drop by next time you’re in Kumamoto!
