My Opinion:
I like pizza very much and I often eat some even after I started to live apart from my family. When I read this article, it seemed a little strange to me because a Japanese chef became the No.1 chef of Italian food. However, I realized that this kind of strange victory is quite important for international relationship. This article can show that one of Japanese people is trying to understand and learn a foreign culture. Now, people from foreign countries are deeply interested in Japanese culture such as food, clothing and history. This is the best way to understand each country. Especially, food is one of the most familiar examples to us. The taste of pizza is important but pizza is playing another vital role.
