I am going to be looking for this today (I live in Tokyo and you have no idea how hard it is to get a proper pizza). I'll probably put up some pics on my blog once I get it done. Thanks for the heads up :D

I just saw this today on JapanTV. Looks fantastic!
My DH is going to Japan in May & I'm hoping he'll bring one back.
I'll have to find out more info by then, of course.
I also have only electric here, so we'll see. Maybe it can be used in an oven here to improve home made pizza.
The point is, of course, that most folks don't have ovens in Japan.

Doesn't slice/serious eats have a genius grant from the Macarthur Foundation or a nutrition grant from the National Institutes of Health to obtain one of these and conduct a true scientific study on this product? It seems as if Slice would be doing a service to the public health if it had one shipped from Japan, then invited readers to participate in a blinded, controlled study comparing the pizza produced by this product with a control pizza: an identically topped and sized pizza produced by, say, Dom or Mark and had the readers decide. I'll bring the vino.

It's a novel idea, but there are some problems: Jeff's Perfect Pizza Bonanza (http://slice.seriouseats.com/jvpizza/) as well as Heston Blumenthal (In Search of Perfection) showed that 500C and a cooking time of just over a minute is the benchmark to aim for. Furthermore I have my doubts whether a glazed stone-such as the one used in the stovetop oven-can have a high enough thermal capacity to make this oven work at higher temperatures. I would recommend something like a soapstone instead.
