In Japan things are a bit different would be saying it mildly. When it comes to food, they have a whole cornucopia of diverse flavors. Domino’s restaurants are no strangers when it comes to pleasing the different tastes of Japanese consumers. The Roast Beef and Gravy pizza is sure to please the unusual tastes of that country. The pizza features slices of roast beef drizzled with gravy and also comes topped with spinach, mushroom, and cherry tomatoes. Rival Pizza Hut is also selling roast chicken legs in Japan this holiday season. Fried chicken from KFC is a popular choice in Japan for Christmas.
