La Fieria del Presidente Fukaya Hanazono Premium Outlets, operated by Four Seasons Co., Ltd. (Minami-Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo; Chairperson and CEO: Yuko Asano), will offer wood-fired pizza and cold soup made with 'Goldrush' corn grown in Fukaya, Saitama Prefecture, from Saturday, June 13, 2026, to Friday, July 31, 2026, on a limited-time basis.
'Goldrush' corn is cultivated by Kazuhiko Matsushita of 'W Natural Taste' in Fukaya City, Saitama Prefecture, where the family has farmed for over 100 years across four generations. Grown in sandy, well-drained soil, this corn boasts a strong sweetness reminiscent of fruit and tender kernels, making it highly distinctive. When cooked, its sweetness and juiciness are further enhanced, offering a delightful pop-in-the-mouth texture. The restaurant has prepared a special pizza, 'Tonno e Mais (Tuna and Corn),' and a cold soup using this peak-season 'Goldrush' corn.
'Tonno e Mais' is a popular pizza in authentic Neapolitan pizzerias, loved by both children and adults for its combination of tuna and corn. The dish highlights the intense sweetness and bouncy texture unique to Fukaya-grown 'Goldrush' corn, layered with the savory flavor of tuna and the creamy richness of mozzarella. Fired in a wood-burning oven, the pizza brings out the natural flavors of the ingredients, with fresh basil adding a refreshing accent at the finish.
The 'Cold Soup with Saitama Prefecture Fukaya-Grown Corn' allows guests to enjoy the inherent sweetness and juiciness of 'Goldrush' corn in a smooth, velvety texture.
Additionally, the restaurant will enter its 'Tonno e Mais' pizza in the 'Fukaya Gourmet Festival VEGE-1 Grand Prix,' a culinary competition co-hosted by Fukaya City and Fukaya Terrace Park, where local restaurants create original dishes centered on corn.
We invite you to savor the exquisite flavor of Fukaya-grown 'Goldrush' corn at La Fieria del Presidente Fukaya Hanazono Premium Outlets during this limited period.

At 'La Fieria del Presidente Fukaya Hanazono Premium Outlets,' guests are welcomed by an interior and a custom-made traditional wood-fired oven reminiscent of the original Naples location. The Neapolitan pizza, baked at high temperatures for a short time, is characterized by its unique texture and the aroma of wood fire.
The signature 'Presidente' pizza features smoked 'Provola cheese,' pork, and generous black pepper, preserving the authentic taste of Naples. The passion, respect, recipes, and techniques for Neapolitan pizza, originally mastered by founder Ernesto Caccarri—whose skills once captivated a former president—have been passed down to his daughter Maria Caccarri for over 20 years, spreading authentic Neapolitan pizza to Japan and around the world. The restaurant has also produced outstanding pizzaiolos (pizza artisans), including a winner at the 2019 '5th Trofeo Pulcinella' pizza competition held in Naples.
