Japan has?automatic machines?that sell anything, from miniature to?Pok��mon?��?used panties?(by whom? Better not to know). But an idea is succeeding in?Hiroshima?and it could spread to the rest of the world: a vending machine of?pizza, made fresh and hot, 24 hours a day.
The entrepreneur behind the idea is the truck driver Yoshiharu Taniguchi, who is a fan of the delicacy, but had difficulty finding them when he left work, late at night. He found an Italian company, Cierreci, which makes Pizza Self 24 machines for the European market. Taniguchi partnered with the Italians, adapted and took the project to Japan.
Shortly after being installed in the Nishi neighborhood in late July, the machine went viral on social media and attracted crowds. Every day, long lines are formed with people – even from other cities – who want to taste the novelty or simply kill hunger at dawn. The pizza dough is made by hand in Venice, and is baked for 5 minutes between 180 �� C and 260 �� C in two varieties: Margherita and Quatro Queijos.
Taniguchi is now working with eight other manufacturers to develop a pizza machine more suited to Japan’s climate. “My goal is to spread pizza vending machines across Japan from Hiroshima,” says the businessman.
HOMMY has also developed several pizza machines this year and will enter the Japanese market in the near future. The prospect of Japanese pizza self-service machines is so broad, I believe that HOMMY will successfully open the Japanese self-service pizza machine market.
