🍜 Wood-fired pizza shop La Biere

La biere is located in Minakami Onsen, one of the four major hot springs in Gunma Prefecture, and is a restaurant that specializes in handmade, wood-fired pizza. Each pizza is made on-site after the customer places an order. The aroma of the freshly baked pizza is irresistible, greatly enhancing one's appetite. The restaurant uses locally sourced wheat flour and natural water from Minakami Town to make the dough, which is then baked quickly at high temperatures in a specially designed oven. The first-class pizza has a simple yet chewy texture. The signature dish is named after the restaurant itself, "La biere." This is an original pizza that features the famous local maitake mushrooms as an ingredient. The rich aroma of the maitake mushrooms pairs perfectly with mozzarella cheese, elevating the flavor of the pizza. Another recommended menu item is the "Hamon Minakami Pizza" (Japanese: ハモンみなかみとルッコラのピッツァ). This pizza is topped with mozzarella cheese and luxuriously garnished with raw ham and arugula, using the famous raw ham from the well-known butcher shop Yufudo in Minakami Town, known as "Hamon Minakami" (Japanese: ハモンみなかみ). The restaurant offers ten varieties of pizza, along with a selection of desserts. The limited daily offering of "Soft Minakami Pudding" (Japanese: とろ～りとろけるみなかみプリン) is one of the most popular desserts. In addition, during the summer, customers can enjoy pizza on the terrace or opt for takeout.

La biere's pizza has a firm and chewy texture, making it an authentic Neapolitan pizza. The secret to the deliciousness of the pizza lies in the dough made from natural water from Mizumoto Town and locally sourced wheat flour. Pizzas made with local ingredients from Mizumoto Town are very popular. The most popular option is the seasonal limited edition original pizza made with seasonal ingredients. An English menu is available.
