Nomura offers pizza, pasta for tradable crypto tokens

Japan’s biggest brokerage has started offering subscriptions to a luxurious Italian food delivery service, where customers can use tokens to buy and trade dishes as their value fluctuates. An affiliate of Nomura Holdings on Wednesday began selling the tokens, that exist on the blockchain, for four high-end food parcels a year from Masayuki Okuda, an award-winning Japanese chef famous for using traditional local ingredients like olive-fed beef and zusayama chicory. Delivery options include pumpkin ravioli, corn and chicken tortellini, and asparagus pizza.
