As a newly developed street food originating from Rome, Trapizzino has now become a popular sensation not only in the capital city of Italy, but also in Japan. As the food trend continues to grow in popularity, it is interesting to learn about the culture, history, and popularities of Trapizzino, both in Rome and Japan.

Trapizzino is a food that looks like a sandwich but is different from an ordinary sandwich. It is a triangular, -like pocket stuffed with different fillings, such as braised oxtail, meatballs, chicken franse, and even vegan options like zucchini flower. The base of Trapizzino is derived from the Roman cuisine of the “pizza bianca”, a sheet of soft, fluffy bread that is great as an appetizer, a snack, or even as a meal. The word “Trapizzino” itself comes from a combination of “tramezzino”, a classic Italian sandwich, and “pizza”, making it easier to understand the food’s concept.

The first Trapizzino shop opened its doors in the Testaccio neighborhood of Rome in 2008, by a man named Stefano Callegari. Callegari, who was an experienced pizza maker, wanted to create something unique that could represent his beloved city’s street food culture. It took him over a year of experimentation before he came up with the perfect recipe, and Trapizzino was born.

What makes Trapizzino so special is how it strikes the balance between and contemporary cooking. Its fillings are all based on traditional Roman recipes, but they are cooked using modern techniques to produce a new sensory experience. In Rome, Trapizzino fast became a popular staple food for locals, and it wasn’t long before its popularity spread to the rest of Italy, and then eventually around the world.

One of the countries where Trapizzino has seen a surge in popularity is Japan. Japan is known for being welcoming to different cultures, and the enthusiasm for Trapizzino is no exception. Japan has a longstanding love affair with Italian food, with Tokyo hosting hundreds of Italian restaurants, bakeries, and cafes. It is no surprise that Trapizzino has made its way to Japan’s food scene.

The first Trapizzino shop in Japan opened in Shibuya, Tokyo, in 2018, with great success. Since then, the Japanese have fallen in love with the concept and have made it their own. The fillings are still based on traditional Roman recipes, but the options have expanded to include Japanese-inspired fillings, such as メンチカツ (menchikatsu), a breaded and deep-fried ground meat cutlet, and 焼鳥 (yakitori), grilled chicken on skewers. The fillings that are exclusive to the Japan location are also created with the Japanese palate in mind, allowing the tastes and textures to be fully appreciated by both locals and tourists alike.

In conclusion, Trapizzino is a delicious and innovative street food that has found its way from Rome to the world.
