We consider the Cauchy problem associated with the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation, posed on $ \mathbb T^2 $. We prove the local well-posedness for given data in $ H^s( \mathbb T^2) $ whenever $ s> 5/3 $. More importantly, we prove that this equation is of quasi-linear type for initial data in any Sobolev space on the torus, in sharp contrast with its semi-linear character in the $ \mathbb R^2 $ and $ \mathbb R\times \mathbb T $ settings.

Keywords: Dispersive equation, well-posedness, Strichartz estimate.
