toast
Even after being in business for 200 years, this Kyoto confectioner is still coming up with great ideas.
An ultra-easy bit of home cooking makes our reporter nostalgic for something he’s never eaten before.
“World’s most expensive toaster” from Mitsubishi uses rice cooker technology to toast bread to perfection.
If you are someone who’s always dropping your phone, you might want to invest in this case.
Add a caffeine boost to your toast and sandwiches with this new spread from a popular Japanese coffee brand.
We take Japan’s simple pleasure of a steamed cake and push it to a whole new level of deliciousness.
If you’re not much of a morning person breakfast can be tricky. Sure, it’s the most important meal of the day and heading out on an empty stomach is never a good idea, but at the same time the temptation of an extra 10, 15, 20 minutes in bed is often too much to resist.
If that’s the dilemma you face every morning, these plates of edible cuteness might just be motivation enough for you to haul your ass out of bed and sit down to a proper breakfast. Generous servings of cute after the break!
With such a wide range of delicious and delectable (and, erm, shall we say unusual) snack foods available in Japan, it’s a little hard to understand when people get whipped up into a frenzy over plainer options, such as toast and bread crusts fried with sugar. Now, twitter users in Japan are getting their tastebuds in a twist over the confusingly-named “English Toast”, a sweet snacklet that first became popular in Aomori prefecture and has now expanded into a whole range of conbini sandwiches. But what on earth is it?
