Ogura toast (小倉トースト, ogura tōsuto) is a dish of thickly sliced, toasted bread topped with ogura, a sweet jam made from adzuki beans. It is often served in cafés in Nagoya.[1]

Origin

Ogura toast originated at the Mitsuba cafe in the Sakae area of Nagoya in 1921 (Taishō 10). A shopkeeper at Mitsuba noticed customers dipping their toast in zenzai (ogura porridge), and was inspired to create ogura toast in response.[1] Afterwards, the dish spread across Aichi to become a café staple.[2]
