Tsubasa Tamaki is a Japanese pizzaiolo and founder of Pizza Studio Tamaki (PST), recognized as one of the most influential figures in Tokyo’s contemporary pizza scene. Born in Okinawa, he initially pursued a different path before discovering his passion for pizza after moving to Tokyo. Entirely self-taught, he honed his craft through hands-on experience in some of the city’s most respected pizzerias, developing a deep understanding of dough fermentation and high-heat baking. In 2017, he opened PST in Tokyo, quickly gaining international acclaim for his distinctive approach, which blends traditional Neapolitan techniques with Japanese 

precision and sensibility. His pizzas are known for their light texture, aromatic complexity, and refined balance of flavors. A constant innovator, Tamaki experiments with flour blends, fermentation methods, and oven design, incorporating elements such as Japanese wood to enhance aroma. His vision has expanded globally, with PST locations opening across Asia and beyond. Today, he is widely recognized and awarded as one of the leading voices shaping modern pizza culture.
