This dish is inspired by the iconic [Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tmnt-pizza-seasoning) but of course, there are no traces of turtle in the pizza dish. It is inspired by the mugwort cake, which is a sweet rice cake that is infused with the mugwort herb. The [chewy mochi pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mochiko-mochi-pizza-crust) make up the pizza with savory notes filling the preserved rice and cilantro. This is blended with sweet notes that are added by red bean paste. It is served with a cheese-stuffed crust and then decorated with tater totes.
