Twitter and Instagram has been buzzing about a new dish to hit Japanese kitchens: sweet peaches mixed with mozzarella cheese. And based on the reviews written by social-media-loving cooks in Japan, it’s the greatest dish in the history of food. Let’s take a closer look at how to rustle up this interesting grub and read some glowing reviews.
Peaches and mozzarella, as the name implies, is a very simple dish. Here’s what you need to make it at home:

That’s right, just peaches, mozzarella cheese, olive oil, balsamic vinegar (or white wine vinegar), salt and pepper is all you need to make the dish everyone is raving about. But once you have the main ingredients ready, there are several ways to prepare it. Some people choose to cube everything…

Others tear the mozzarella…

But in this case, looks seem to be deceiving because reviews from Japanese netizens on Twitter and Instagram make it seem like this is a meal fit for the gods:
“Holy jeez! This was so good, I felt like I had an out-of-body experience after my first bite.”
“The most exciting part of my day today was having peaches and mozzarella. It was just too good! And all I did was toss all the ingredients together.”
“Is this a salad? Is it dessert? I have no idea, all I know is it’s freaking delicious!!!”
“This dish is so good, it seems like a waste to just eat a peach on its own.”
Well you can’t argue with those reviews, can you? Care to give peaches and mozzarella a try? If you do, let us know if you liked it as much as these Japanese foodies!
