Authentic pizza in a hot spring resort! Owner's Special Menu at Astra in Noboribetsu City
Do you eat sumptuous kaiseki the night you stay at an onsen inn, and the next morning you have a Japanese breakfast, and after checking out, your mouth is somehow craving something other than Japanese food? If so, Noboribetsu Onsen has a great pizza restaurant! The name of the restaurant is "Astra". Let's take a quick peek.
The official name of the restaurant is "PIZZERIA ASTRA. It is known by the name of "Astra. Amidst the rows of souvenir shops and other stores that are typical of a hot spring resort, this fashionable pizza shop suddenly catches the eye of tourists passing by, and it is inevitable that they will be intrigued by it.
The owner, Mr. Hirotaka Osaka, visited Italy while working hard as a pizza chef and was shocked by the fact that he could eat delicious pizza for as little as 500 yen.
He was shocked by the fact that one could enjoy a delicious pizza for as little as 500 yen. He started out with a kitchen car so that he could make it easily available in Japan. Gradually, his fan base grew, and he was asked to open a restaurant so that people could enjoy his pizza anytime they wanted. In response to these requests, they decided to open a restaurant in Noboribetsu, their hometown.
Astra's pizzas come in more than 15 varieties. Even an L-size pizza is priced in the 1,000-yen range, which is the spirit of the owner, Mr. Osaka. The best recommendation is the "Ultimate Margherita" (M/ 1,300 yen including tax, L/ 1,980 yen including tax).
The freshness of the fresh tomatoes and the richness of the fresh Hokkaido cheese make this one a must-have. By the way, there are other types of Margherita, such as "Margherita" and "Margherita EX," so you can see that it is still our signature dish.
If you want to taste the deliciousness of Hokkaido cheese even more, we recommend the "Shiranuka Meishisha Mozzarella Cheese Caprese" (980 yen including tax). The fresh cheese from Shiranuka Meieisha, selected from among many Hokkaido cheeses, is a must-try even if you are not a cheese lover.
The best thing to go with pizza and caprese is a good beer! Here you can drink "Oni Densetsu," a local Noboribetsu craft beer (850 yen including tax). And if you can enjoy a cup of their special coffee after your meal, you are in for a real treat.
Astra is also particular about its coffee, especially the "Astra Latte" (480 yen including tax), which is a fusion of espresso made by an Italian machine and Hokkaido milk, and is sure to be a cup of bliss.
At first, you may feel uncomfortable, "A pizza parlor in a hot spring resort?" You may feel uncomfortable at first. But after hearing the story behind it, you will be convinced, and more importantly, you will be convinced after eating it. Even with the Corona Disaster, Astra's take-out pizzas were so useful that people living in the neighborhood are envious.
Please remember the name of the restaurant and drop by when you visit Noboribetsu.
