This Japanese Toaster Costs $270. It Only Makes One Slice at a Time

Perfectly made toast isn't just an obsession in Japan. It's a business opportunity.

Over the past few years, there's been a quiet boom in the pursuit of expertly reheated bread, from high-end toasters and premium loaves, to cafes catering to connoisseurs seeking that satisfying crunch.

I'm surprised the toaster adds moisture. When I make toast I like it crisp and crunchy and many times depending on the bread it comes out mushy. Maybe a USA toaster is what they need. Would be much cheaper and they hold 2 to 4 slices.
