Ingredients

  • 80 g Thick-sliced white bread (shokupan)
  • 10 g Butter
  • 50 g Sweet red bean paste (ogura-an)

Method

  1. Toast a thick slice (about 3 cm, a quarter of a Japanese loaf) of soft white bread in a toaster or under the grill for 4-5 minutes, until golden outside and still soft in the middle.
  2. Spread it with the butter while it is hot, right to the edges, so the butter melts into the crumb.
  3. Spread the red bean paste thickly over the toast, or pile it on one half as Nagoya's coffee shops do, leaving the buttered half to eat alongside.
  4. Cut it in halves or quarters and serve at once with a cup of coffee: in Nagoya it comes with a morning coffee as part of the 'morning service', sometimes with a spoonful of whipped cream.
