Nagoya’s Breakfast:
Ogura Toast
Online Experience

Most people know the Japanese like to eat rice and fish for breakfast. But not the people from Nagoya! They like to enjoy a cup of coffee with a slice of toast. Ogura Toast to be precise. A thick slice of golden-brown toast with red bean paste.

During this online experience, you will learn how to make the famous local Nagoya-style breakfast at home and learn more about the local food culture while munching on your creation. 

Connect with your host Lena who will be greeting you from the comfort of her home in Nagoya. After a short get to know (maybe while enjoying your first cup of coffee together) and check that you have all the necessary ingredients ready you are good to go.

Making the local Nagoya-style breakfast called Ogura Toast isn’t too hard, but Lena will introduce you to the finer points of making this the best version it can be.

You will also learn about the origin story of Ogura toast and learn to recognize different kinds of red bean paste. A popular ingredient in Japanese sweets.

While munching on your finished breakfast, which goes very well with a cup of coffee, you will be introduced to other points of the local Nagoya food culture, a brief introduction to Nagoya’s history and culture.

A food-related experience wouldn’t be complete without talking also about Japanese table manners and other information worth knowing in relation to food.

There is nothing better for Lena than sharing her love for Japanese food with other people, so feel free to ask anything you have ever wanted about Japanese cuisine.

This is an online experience. You will meet your host online on a private Zoom call.

I am the founder of Nagoya Foodie, and I offer unique and authentic food tours in Nagoya.

I have been living in Japan for more than 5 years and I have always loved trying and learning about the different kinds of Japanese food.

Starting my food tour business in Nagoya gave me the chance to really dive deep into the local cuisine which is very different from other parts of Japan. After living in Nagoya for one year and devoting my time to the local food, I now have knowledge about the Nagoyan food not even many locals have.

I love sharing my knowledge with foreign visitors to Japan and I want people to fall in love with the local Nagoya cuisine as I have.
